  1. 33mm will protrude beyond the advised dimensions. Most Mercedes wheels are positioned too deeply inside the wheel arches for my preference, necessitating spacers for an aesthetically pleasing appearance; hence, an extension of around 10mm may enhance the visual appeal.
  2. I consider myself fortunate to be retired and own many vehicles, allowing me the opportunity to contemplate matters without pressure. As is often the case, if I were to do another, it would be far simpler and more expedient (albeit it is unlikely that I would do so again). 😉🤞
  3. Indeed, as you said, it is a snug fit. I successfully extracted it, but I had to detach the coolant pipes and the fan housing, which was not referenced in any YouTube videos or postings. This facilitated the removal of the alternator and turbo, eliminating the need to disassemble the exhaust manifold.

  5. Thank you for your comment. Given the dearth of replies and little assistance on YouTube about a C Class, it can be inferred that few individuals are willing to attempt the removal of the turbocharger. It seems much more convenient when using a Mercedes van. After some frustration, I successfully extracted it without having to remove the exhaust manifold.
  6. I have chosen to attempt the removal of the turbo, and as others have said, it is not a straightforward task. Nonetheless, I have now detached the turbo but am encountering difficulties in removing it. I have used YouTube and Haynes to get this point, but now I need other methods. Some assert that it is possible to rotate the turbo out, which I cannot do, while others claim that it is necessary to remove the exhaust manifold and disconnect the EGR. Has anybody extracted one from a C-Class diesel equipped with a 651 engine? Nothing has proven straightforward, and the removal of the manifold is as challenging due to the concealed EGR bolts. Could someone please provide guidance on how to detach the exhaust manifold heat shield, which seems to be clipped? I believe it must be removed in order to take off the manifold. Thank you
  7. Hi, I too had a problem wit the engine to my 2021 tryumph but everything was solved quickly. Regards
  8. I appreciate the suggestion. I will certainly search for it. Are there any other concerns to be aware of? I have not acquired a new automobile in over two decades.
  9. Indeed, I did. I explicitly requested a tan inside with a machine grey exterior. He needed to locate one and deliver it to his dealership. I may be resigned to whatever actions he takes against me. Assume a bent position and grasp your ankles.
  10. A few of hours later, the issue is that the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus in my desired colour is now scarce.
  11. I am purchasing a new CX-90 Turbo S Premium Plus on Friday at my local dealership. Do you have any suggestions for acquiring it at the lowest feasible cost? Or at the at least, avoid being exploited? They are offering me a discount of $3,000 off the list price, which I assume is the current norm for Mazda. Are they really steadfast about the price? Are there other benefits I should advocate for? I am presenting a prospective trade-in, but I am willing to sell it independently. Any guidance would be welcomed!
  12. If the vehicle is equipped with Stop/Start technology, it must utilise an AGM battery. The battery should be labelled for verification purposes.
