Oh my goodness, is that just to change the thermostat?
By the way, is there a RealOEM for MB that works similarly to the one I used for my other German vehicle? Fantastic for parts n and observing the structure.

Re: Issues with M254
I suppose that only individuals who are troubled are driven enough to write about it, whereas happy consumers simply move on with their lives 🙂. I'm aiming to fall into the second category. Assuming I continue to purchase oil, I may not have issues for some time at 19k miles, considering that we onl...

Re: Issues with M254
I thought I heard pistons snapping. Unfortunately, most of the posts were from the United States, and that didn't make me feel any better.

Issues with M254
considering a 2022 W206 300e with 19,000 miles and an M254 engine. Who thinks this is? Is there cause for concern? Countless horror stories involving M274 and M264 engines have been read by me! It would be great to hear about someone's positive experience with this engine and its good mileage. Thank...

Re: Restocking on the Steering Rack
I recently had the rack on a '24 PHEV replaced and I'm in Canada. It took approximately 32 days for the repairs to arrive and be fitted after I brought it to the dealer in -30 temperatures when the power steering stopped working. As far as the dealer is concerned, the rack and motor arrived in separ...

Re: E60 530D (218 BHP) Diesel Cleaner/Fuel Additive
However, for those who may pursue ideas related to the inlet manifold. I have read about walnut blasting; but, I am too frugal to consider it. Furthermore, while examining my engine, there appeared to be significantly less accumulation compared to the swirl flaps. Equipped with a toothbrush envelope...

Re: E60 530D (218 BHP) Diesel Cleaner/Fuel Additive
I lack confidence that Fuel Doctor or other fuel system cleanser will restore this buildup to its original condition. The intercooler and hoses had oil, albeit less than anticipated. I rinsed with petrol and dried in the sun, then expelled compressed air from the rear into the radiator core, which d...

Re: E60 530D (218 BHP) Diesel Cleaner/Fuel Additive
I have utilised Fuel Doctor in diesel vehicles for over ten years without encountering any problems. To my knowledge, it is the sole system that decomposes water from condensation or supply pollution, effectively filtering out particulates. It also addresses bacteria, which I can attest is quite tro...

Re: Dashboard alert
If a drivetrain issue is indicated, there will be saved code(s).
What apparatus did you utilise for the scanning process?
