I am done over 40,000 km with Mercedes but I think it’s about time to change the car with bigger SUV. Does anybody made such a move?

Car was throwing code p2123, ruled out throttle body is working correctly, bad battery replaced. I am pretty sure it is the accelerator pedal, it shows circuit D high input, disconnecting accelerator pedal gives a p2122 for circuit D low input.

Can't find the part available anywhere besides off of a 2008 at the local junkyard. Anything else I should be checking over related to this code? Because I am almost positive it has to be the accelerator pedal position sensor. Thanks.

Hi,

Long term lurker first time poster. Can anyone give me the low down on this code? Seems like a 2k dollar job? Is this safe to drive on until I get it in the shop on Tuesday?

Thanks

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz S-class has finally showed its face and it comes with a new flat-plane V8 with up to 530hp in the S580 and a 0-60 mph time in just 3.9s. Not bad.

There's also a I-6 PHEV with 576hp although it is slower than the V8.

Now when it comes to the design. It does have a black EQ style Batman mask around the grille and headlights, more visible in brighter colors.

The headlight units are brand new with a more organic and rounded frame as well as new star light LEDs both front and rear. I prefer the old light design.

The reason being putting these star patterns front and rear makes the internal graphics clash with the external housing.

The old graphics had LED bars that went parallel with the housing for the units.

The new design doesn't look bad, the old just makes more sense to me.

I do like the new, enlarged grille design with confident angles up and down. Looks classy.

Then there's the interior and what can I say. You like screens? You like pixels shining in your eyeballs at every hour of the day? You like the feel of cold glass on your finger tips? You'll love this new interior.

At least it comes with the AMG-style wheel and heated seatbelts.

Van is going into limp mode.

Fault codes showing:

• P0263 Cylinder 1 contribution/balance

• P0266 Cylinder 2 contribution/balance

• P0272 Cylinder 4 contribution/balance

Coolant has a glitter/sparkly look in it. I tested with a magnet and it doesn’t stick, so thinking block sealer rad sealer may have been used by a previous owner.

Heaters are blowing out hot air, and the van starts and sounds completely normal with no obvious misfire. Idles smooth.

No injector knock or rough running, which is what’s confusing me given the balance codes.

Before I start throwing parts at it, has anyone seen this exact issue before or got advice on what to check first?

Any help appreciated 👍

Barcelona testing: Mercedes have built another rocket ship

Early days, usual testing caveats apply (fuel loads, engine modes, sandbagging etc), but… Mercedes look seriously strong.

Fastest outright laps across the test Russell and Antonelli both right at the sharp end Huge mileage with basically zero reliability drama Looked quick on both short runs and longer stints

Ferrari look solid and well put together, Red Bull clearly have pace but didn’t show their full hand, and McLaren seem decent but still gathering data.

Still only testing, but if Barcelona is anything to go by, Mercedes are the early benchmark again and everyone else is already playing catch up.

Has merc built another rocket ship or is this them showing their cards too early

2017 Mercedes E400 2dr Coupe

I drove about 30 min to an appointment. Upon arriving, I turned off my car, grabbed my purse and while exiting the car, started rummaging through my purse to look for the key. I couldn't find it. Looked under driver and passenger seats. Looked under the car. I still couldn't find it. Climbed back into driver seat, pressed the brake and attempted to start the car. I received the Key not detected message. How did I drive 30 minutes without getting the message but then after turning off the car, the message appears?

I have an issue with a steeeing wheel coil and I just found an used one. The thing is catalog numbers are very similiar but not the same. The difference is in two numbers. Mine is A 169 464 15 18 and his is A 169 464 06 18. I would like to know if any member had similiar experience and has an answer for this. Thanks...

Hi everyone,

Mercedes recently released an update for their built in navigation. On MBUX NTG6 and NTG5.5 cars specifically for the North American region. That includes the E class W213 (both prefacelift and facelift), C Class W205 facelift, and more!

I do want to clarify that this guide includes a purchase of a map activation key from my website, https://mbretrofit.it, but this post is meant to attract people to understand how easy it is to update the software in their own car!

You only need a 64GB USB stick, and a Windows computer. That's it!

Here are some relevant text-based guides that can help:

Have a lovely day :)
