  1. With my autos, I stick to the 6-or 12-month warranty. Despite only having 890 miles between their mot, one of them still managed to get an oil change, haha. It is currently sitting on the shelf and will do less business this year until I do something about it.
  2. Coming up on two hundred thousand miles, my 2002 E53 X5 powered by an M57 engine is still going strong. If you're looking for evidence of excessive oil and filter changes, a full BMW service is probably not the way to go. Just to entice fleet purchasers with the promise of reduced service costs over time, BMW claims 20,000 miles or two years, which is bad for the engine.
  3. Hopefully it's not something major, but my S204's plastic engine covers and pipes wobble like crazy. It's a poor design; I would wreck the vehicles if I could. Mine is a lot quieter once I take off the engine covers.
  4. it's hard to tell, and you can end up following unicorns in circles before you figure out what's making all the noise. On the other hand, if they've taken off any heat shields or coverings, it might be a vibrating unicorn. Is the sound emanating from the vehicle's interior or outside, the front or the rear? Though I've never heard anything similar, I think it might be worthwhile to investigate more.
  5. Yes, if you're referring to exterior lights instead of inner ones. At specific speeds, you can activate either the high beam or low beam functions, or the adaptive headlights (ALH). They all range from 19 to 25 mph, with the exception of ALH's Highway mode, which operates at 65.2 mph or faster. Refer to the handbook for instructions.
  6. Mercedes-Benz 220 CDI from 2012 Seeking advice on what might be a problem
  7. Am I looking at the right battery? The local motor factor gave me a battery based on what their system indicated should be on there, which might sound foolish. It had trouble cranking when I returned it to Motor Factor, so they contacted the manufacturer, who informed them that my battery had a higher specification because it had all the possible extras. Nothing has gone wrong with the new battery; it appears identical to the old one, but it has a hundred more CCA. You risk damaging your alternator if you don't inform the ECU that you've installed a new battery.
  8. Naturally, both the Mercedes-Me account and the mobile app are free; you are under no obligation to pay for the supplementary subscription services. 'Free' implies that you'll have to part with some personal information to use it, but that's also the case with Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and so on.
  9. MB may or may not be on the Vidafone network in the UK depending on the current situation. Technically speaking, GSM devices can function even without a SIM card; in fact, you can use a SIM-free phone (but only to dial emergency services) and still make GSM voice calls. Mobile phone companies won't let your device use their network to make calls unless they have the correct billing information, which is stored in the SIM card. So, the subscriber data is hardcoded into the communications module and identifiable by the vehicle's VIN; a SIM card is thus unnecessary for the vehicle. In the same vein, the idea of contemporary "eSims" is to store subscriber data on the phone rather than the SIM card. Before you can pay for services, you'll need to register your vehicle's VIN and create an account with Mervedes me online. At that point, you'll be able to view all of the car-related services that are for sale. Subscriptions will be required for all of these.
  10. How many days had passed since the vehicle was last parked?
  11. I'm confident you'll love it and smile for miles 😃 😊.
  12. Indeed, I am cognisant of that; I am merely attempting to ascertain the precise requirements. Visiting a wheel shop is a commendable suggestion; however, I am uncertain about the availability of such establishments in our region, as most have transitioned to online platforms.
