Potential causes may include a stone lodged between the splash guard and caliper, a malfunctioning handbrake cable mechanism, such as a screw detaching from the splash guard, poor design, or issues with the rear strut top mounts.

Thank you, does the antifreeze only need to conform to the 325.6 specification, or is the actual MB product the only one that really fulfills this standard?

Merc has advised that I must completely drain and flush the existing blue fluid and replace it with the red fluid. I will now investigate the method to assure the complete evacuation of the blue fluid and see whether any seals need replacement, unless I can locate further blue fluid.

Appreciation is extended. Last night, I was unable to get the code for the sensor located above the turbo. However, I will make an effort to obtain it today, as well as any other codes that may arise. One of the codes that appeared was 28CD00, indicating a missing code for the radiator shutters.

The code for the air mass is 290900.
