    W210 E280 in limp mode but code wont clear after repair?

    I don’t think that part 2 result is necessarily a problem. The 1 usually indicates an open circuit on a digital meter, and that’s a greater resistance than 20k, so seems ok. It’s the starter interlock test, so it’ll only crank in P or N, so if it cranks fine you don’t have a problem imo.

    Head gone ?

    I’ve seen this before. As others have said, the material at the bottom of the hole is very thin. In desperation of having to buy a new head the customer elected to go with my bodge fix. I drained the coolant to stop the water coming out, cleaned the hole and put silicone sealant on the bolt and...

    W211 inlet port shut off motor or turbo actuator.

    Only other possibility is partial seizure of the arm or vane ring inside the turbo. Very occasionally bits of the inside of the exhaust manifold come adrift and can get stuck in the vane ring

    C63 Delayed gear change

    C63 Delayed gear change

    If you had the engine running and a lot came out either it’s overfilled (unlikely) or the standpipe has become dislodged

    C63 Delayed gear change

    If the engine wasn’t running, then yes, a lot will come out. With the engine running the pump lifts oil from the transmission sump and keeps the valve body filled up. It’s a litre or so I would think

    C63 Delayed gear change

    Yes, that’s how we do it when carrying out a fluid and filter change. The tool I have we leave connected while running the engine and warming it up. As it approaches the temperature we pump a little more in and then allow it to spit back out to get the level spot on. It’s an experience thing...

    C63 Delayed gear change

    The level is set via the standpipe, as you seem to know. You need to have the engine running while checking the level, and the oil must be circa 40 degrees centigrade
