    Recommend me a diagnostic scanner to buy

    Apologies for barging into this conversation, but maybe I can get some help, and offer some help? I bought the iCarsoft CR Pro about 3 years ago, and while its main purpose was Mercedes Benz, it offered a very good range of scans for most makes of vehicles, and up to now, was very good with...

    W212 bumper removal issue

    Then it should have its comrade on the other side of the bumper? I will go back working it this morning, and see if I can find where exactly it was attached to the bumper, and glue it back in situ. An iCarsoft scan should tell me then if all is OK.

    I don't know....its within a few inches of another sensor, mostly likely is, but they are only on the driver's side.??

    W212 bumper removal issue

    Thanks Blobcat. That's what I'll do, it should have left a mark on the bumper where it was.

    W212 bumper removal issue

    This is a different issue, and not related in the slightest to Dipsticks etc, but I'm at my wits end trying to figure out how to start a new thread.....so apologies in advance. And if some one could put it the correct forum, I'd be grateful !!! So my present problem arose when I had to remove...

    MB Spec Synthetic Engine Oil

    In a previous Eclass I owned, OM651 engine, 722.6 trans, both the engine oil dipstick and transmission dipstick tubes were within a few inches of each other rear of engine, and next to the bulkhead.

    MB Spec Synthetic Engine Oil

    Concerning flexible transmission dipsticks for MB 722.6 trans, does not matter how long it is, once it's long enough....the important part is the black plastic measuring tip at the end, the one with the diamond shape on it. It's this shape which allows it to enter to the correct depth in the oil...

    When MB were queried on their "Sealed fir Life" claim, which later proved not to be the case in the real world, they countered by saying " Well, we never said whose Life, did we? ":oops::oops::oops:

    MB Spec Synthetic Engine Oil

    Well, the oil is one thing...but oil filters are something else....I'd be going for the genuine article in this case,as you mention, the price difference is negligible when you think about the myriad problem that.you faulty filtration can cause.

    W212 E350 cdi coolant leak

    Does this engine have the heated fuel filter, where the hot water from the engine block is circulated through the fuel filter too? In the OM651 engine, its a very common Leak issue.

    MB Spec Synthetic Engine Oil

    My point was AMgeed, that regardless of the name on the oil container, if it was approved by MB, then it was good to use. There's lots of "oily" stories out there about why brand X is better for your MB engine than brand Y. The catch is of course as always, it comes at a higher price. And oil...
