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...
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.
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 !!!

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.
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.
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...
