Re: Plug for draining

Never seen one before, however it would be cool to get one if you locate one. If you happen to come across a part number, please inform us. After cutting the center out of a piece of fine aluminium mesh—which I believe was part of a body repair kit from a long ago—I have cut a few little discs from ...

Re: The 300e w124 has an issue with petrol fumes.

Re: The 300e w124 has an issue with petrol fumes.

Can I clean the breathers, no matter where they are?
Am I in for some big operation, or is this only a cleaning job?

The 300e w124 has an issue with petrol fumes.

Expert guidance would be extremely welcomed, however I have a good feeling that this issue is caused by obstructed breathers someplace. The vehicle starts up and runs smoothly, but every once in a while—usually after a long drive—the odour of fuel becomes noticeable. A "whoosh" sound indic...

Re: Parking sensors were changed.

Weird, but true: the inner right-hand side connection and wiring work as intended with a worn but functional sensor. Their supposed plug-and-play functionality is something I still stand by. I don't have anything further to suggest other than to make sure the sensors and both inner connections are i...

Re: Parking sensors were changed.

You would have thought that swapping out a functional PDS (that had been doing its job admirably with your vehicle before) with a brand new, authentic PDS would have solved the problem. I think there's a glitch going on here; could you please verify that once you reinstalled an earlier PDS that had ...

Re: Parking sensors were changed.

I regret to inform you that the two centre ones, which are a shade of satin grey, had to be purchased from a parts supplier in Germany at a higher price. I purchased two outer ones approximately ten years ago to retrofit front parking to my 2011 S4 because there were numerous NOS genuine ones availa...
