Re: W202 C43 Brake Calipers against W210 E55 Brake Calipers

Thank you for your contributions; they are much appreciated. I visited the dealership, and fortunately, repair kits for these calipers are still available. I discovered far lower prices from Frentech on eBay; but, I want the items urgently, and they regrettably can not provide rapid shipment. I conf...

W202 C43 Brake Calipers against W210 E55 Brake Calipers

Does the w202 C43 use the same braking system as the w210 E55? I am attempting to restore my front calipers and am encountering difficulty locating a comprehensive rebuild kit.

Re: Issue with Android Head Unit

I regret to inform you that I am unable to assist; nonetheless, I must emphasize that you should transition your PC to Windows 11 as soon as possible. Your suggestion to use an Android phone as mass storage via AA or Bluetooth is irrelevant, since you do not own one, making it the most futile remark...

Re: W205 6-Speed Manual Transmission - Oil Replacement

Draining the oil first and then being unable to remove the filler cap results in a gearbox devoid of oil, which constitutes a significant issue.


Those plugs will be secure.

Re: What is the G36?

The design is somewhat boxy, evoking memories of the little Suzuki 4x4 vehicles from the past; it is, at best, unremarkable for on-road driving; maybe it is more suited for collectors due to its scarcity? I do not want one; yet, I purchase my vehicles for driving purposes, not for aesthetic admirati...

Re: Coolant antifreeze for the 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ B 200 CDI (246.201)

OP, you have two options: provide your registration and VIN to a primary Mercedes-Benz dealership's spare parts department and get the response, "Mercedes-Benz exclusively offers the red fluid now, and it cannot be mixed; you will need to perform a complete system flush, Sir." Alternativel...

Re: Coolant antifreeze for the 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ B 200 CDI (246.201)

It is all red now (from MB); you will need to do a flush and replacement, unless you choose to only augment with Prestone, which is said to be compatible with any coolant. What evidence supports my certainty on this matter? Recently, I had many fluid changes on the 2008 SL63 AMG; the red fluid was i...
