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...

Re: W169 A180 CDI - failure to start
It is excellent news that you have identified the issue. Uncertain as to why that would be more expedient, however. A relay functions either correctly or not at all.

Re: W169 A180 CDI - failure to start
Do you possess a relay for exchange and testing purposes? Is there voltage present at all live terminals of the relay? Is there a suitable foundation?

Re: 2010 Mercedes E350
When was the gearbox last maintained? I experienced the identical problem, and a gearbox service resolved it.

Re: Considering Pencarreg Logistics for a repo car purchase any red flags I should know about?
I wouldn’t be so sure, a mate got caught out just last week by a fake listing he found on AutoTrader. The car was listed at more half its usual price £7880 and he sent the money thinking it was a quick deal. Luckily, his bank refunded him within three days, though they did charge a £100 admin fee.
