The W203 fan activates without the ignition key.
MDMH757 replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
Indeed, the 270 CDI undergoes a vigorous drive occasionally to assist in maintaining its cleanliness. Do Mercedes possess that as well? They appear to be disparate systems to me, although my knowledge of these or diesel engines is limited. I appreciate it. -
Greetings everyone, Upon removing my key from the ignition, if one waits a few minutes, the radiator fan activates at maximum capacity; however, if the ignition is turned on again, it deactivates and operates properly without overheating. What might be the underlying reason for this? I appreciate it.

CLS X218 complete Airmatic standard elevation
MDMH757 replied to Doncaster34's topic in General Car Chat
My husband possesses one of these, yet it lacks your Airmatic suspension and only features the air rear suspension. His vehicle resembles your photograph. Would his stature align with your comfort preferences? Inform me, and I shall contact him to retrieve the ruler... -
Do the MOT inspectors not insert a probe into the exhaust pipe to assess the NoX emissions? I would surmise that the absence of a DPF would result in the emissions failing the examination. I personally would not feel comfortable with it - when is your MOT scheduled?

You make a valid point. An image can serve as a useful memento at any time 👌

Almost all of the oil will stay in the filter and very little will spill. Gather a lot of paper towels and scatter them around the house.

The fuel consumption of self-charging HEVs.
MDMH757 replied to rab60bit88's topic in General Car Chat
Do you mean the total amount or the amount per trip? The second one updates automatically based on the number of miles driven since reset, but the third one takes a long time. -

Get the mpg by doing the tank-to-tank test. Fill up the tank, hit the road, and then fill it up again after a decent amount of miles driven to get a more accurate picture of your actual mpg. The fuel economy of my previous hybrid vehicle, the 2020, ranged from the mid 20s to a peak of 175 mpg. The average fuel economy for the 16,400 miles covered by Ave is 54mPG. -
Hey there, I'm thinking it would be best to stick with stock for the time being till I figure out how to fix the new dpf.
-
A terrible map melted my dpf, and I need a reliable garage or tuner to fix it or remove it. After the replacement parts are fitted, I would like the software to be resolved as soon as possible while my car is being fixed. I am located in Derby and would be very grateful for any recommendations.
-
I appreciate the feedback, but I've decided to put off the upgrade for the time being in order to address certain "deferred maintenance" issues that have arisen.

Hello everyone, What do you think about replacing the outdated head unit in our 2003 SL500 with a newer model that has Bluetooth and Carplay? The existing command unit is the original, with a Nokia cellphone that is hardwired into the center console; regrettably, there is no plug-in module available. I am thankful.

Rebuilding the gearbox for the 2018 BMW X1
MDMH757 replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
Any respectable auto box specialist worth their salt would have worked on Aisin gearboxes in the past, and they should also be familiar with the problems that the BMW variation has, so I don't see why this repair can't be relied upon. You may rest assured that any gearbox supplied by a BMW dealer will be a refurbished one. -
Need help finding the correct tires! Sport Edition E91
MDMH757 replied to Flexfer's topic in General Car Chat
Inexpensive as Camskills may be, be wary of delivery and fitting costs. They do, however, provide a wealth of information on which "A" certified Wet Grip options are out there, so you may choose wisely. Non-runflats are more likely to be grippier and quieter, so savour the comfort! -

If you can keep from swerving left and right over the axle, then by all means, go for it. -

I wouldn't put front and rear wheels on the same axle, but it's fine otherwise. -

MDMH757 replied to Flexfer's topic in General Car Chat
Are non-runflats places you'd be open to visiting? If that's the case, I'll go that path; in the twelve years that I've had my E91, I've avoided runflats for the most part. Last time, I splurged on Costco's Goodyear Asymmetrics. -
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.

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.

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.

Concerning the automatic dimmer and brighter light settings
MDMH757 replied to torque2me's topic in General Car Chat
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.
