Weird Y10 error message, any idea?

Hello, I have 06 CLK500. Today I went to local indie shop for motor mount and sway bar link change. They changed sway bar and passenger side mount, but they were stuck for driver side mount. They are not Mercedes specialists. Since it was almost closing time they said come back later and they will remove subframe to change driver side. After leaving the shop, I felt steering wheel is super stiff. I scanned the code and yes, I got the error code. It saids C1014 State: Current Y10( SPS... Weird Y10 error message, any idea?

Remote key or Spare key with chip cut and programmed.

Hello Everyone. I'm a locksmith in Phoenix Az. Recently acquired a Kr55 with optional Scan PCF7935 upgrade. With this setup a customer can mail me either a flip key with remote, or just a regular key for most models(with working chip in it,) that can start their vehicle. With this I can make either a spare flip key with programmed chip and working remote, or a spare key with just a programed chip and no remote.

Is it possible to modify the tandem pump to make the ADS rise and lower faster?

Just wondering if anyone has attempted this or heard of this being done on another model or brand of vehicle. I'm inspired by the current Maybach Gle and its rapid rodeo up and down party trick.

Weird problem... no instruments / accessories car running

Hi been having this problem for about a year. Sometimes the car will start and run normally but accessories are dead. No speedometer, no rpms, no turn signals, no a/c, etc. If I restart the car accessories come back on. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the key fob or the ignition switch?!?! Why because sometimes I insert the key fob and I am unable to turn it (and no. it's not the steering wheel locking). I have to then reinsert the fob for it to "register" with the car. Also...

How to remove intake manifold brake vacuum port

I want to remove the plastic port that is attached to the rear of the M113 intake manifold. I suspect that the plastic port is a pressed fit. Has anyone removed this plastic port? Note that I have removed the cap (#23), the lock (#17), and the seal (#11). I want to remove the remaining plastic piece that sits inside the intake manifold.

So I picked up a pretty clean 93 300D coming up on 2 years ago. Put 17K miles on it since I got it, only thing it's needed is oil changes. Fantastic vehicle. That said, one thing that I've just dealt with on it is the climate control system. It's either blowing an inferno or an arctic blast. There is no middle ground, So the temperature wheel ends up being hot or cold and I just toggle it on or off as needed. Which sounds worse then it actually is. EC does work where you get air...

Reading MAS Codes on 90' W126 300SE - X11/4 8 Pin Connector - 50% KOEO Duty Cycle

Hello everybody, i have a question about pulling codes from a MAS Module on a 1990 W126 300SE with the X11/4 8 Pin Connector. My problem is, that when i purchased the car in 2020 the KOEO Duty Cycle was 70% (as it should be). Now it is 50% static, but when the engine is warm it is fluctuating as it should. There are no fault codes saved in the CIS ECU, so now i thought that it would be interesting to know if there are any in the MAS. But the manual only states that i need...

Hi! So I am trying to replace the fuse in that pre-fuse box, removed everything except that bloody panel wich slides up. It just simply wont move. The box is screwed to the floor and is not possible to remove, because you need to go under the car to do so. There is no clips also. 2:56

Replacing/ Repairing 1989 300SE radio

I just got a 1989 300SE. The previous owner had somehow managed to activate the anti-theft system on the radio, as it is showing all dashes across the display no matter what I do. Also, the powered antenna won't extend. First, is there anything I can do to repair the stock radio before replacing it? I would prefer to keep it as that is likely the most cost effective, and already have a FM transmitter. Is the broken radio causing the antenna to not extend? Second, I have read a little about...

Using Wood Blocks When Lifting Car?

Hi guys, I bought a 5 ton bottle jack and 4x 3 ton stands for my W140 a month ago but have yet to use them - gonna do a coolant flush this week. My question today since I do like to baby my stuff in every sense of the word; is it safe to put wood blocks between the jack / jackstands and car to prevent "damage" to the chassis that may cause rust or whatever down the line? Of course I will be jacking in the proper spots so by damage I don't mean punching through the floorboard. I ask... Using Wood Blocks When Lifting Car?

Steering wheel not returning to center

I have a base model CLS550 2011, I've had this issue with the steering ever since I bought the car from a dealer. I bought it used but didn't notice the problem at the time. When I turn on a corner the steering wheel doesn't return to center like it should, it does so but very slowly, to the point I have to bring it back or hit the curb. I was told it could be just because I'm going slow, but I tried doing it at higher speeds and although the wheel does return to center a little bit... Steering wheel not returning to center

Unwanted Downshift to manual mode, unable to shift up or down

the car will automatically kick down into lower gears and downshift on its own into manual mode even though the car is still in drive. the car will not upshift. The only way to clear this while driving is to place the shifter in neutral and then back into drive. There is no common thing I am doing that creates this condition, it will shift and drive normally then all of a sudden it just downshifts by itself. my car is c180 2013

Hello, I've just purchased a 2000 S430 that has been taken care of by a little not so old lady and maintained very nicely. I apologize in advance for such a rudimentary question, but here goes. The car when previous owner bought the car it only had one license plate on the back. When I looked at the front bumper there were no signs of a front plate mount no holes in the bumper. I did a ebay check on front license plate mounts and they appear necessary to drill a couple holes for wood screw... New to S430

Best leather conditioner?

Basking in the beauty of my new to me '89 300SE with 32k miles. Understanding why so many people are on this site - These cars are amazing. I just want to shut the doors a few times/day for the aural pleasure alone. But I digress/am preaching to the choir. Anyway, the Brazil (chocolate brown) leather interior is in excellent shape, but it could use a conditioner. Reading about a lot of options. This leather is pretty dark so I don't want to use anything that will make it look hazy... Best leather conditioner?

Recommendation: Robinson Instruments Auckland NZ

After 400,000 miles, the speedometer on my 1982 280GE was jumping, clicking and burring - if that is a sound - and the odometer had stopped working. Removal is very easy, and I took it to Robinson Instruments in Onehunga, Auckland, New Zealand, a specialist in rebuilding instruments, notably VDO. It was ready five days later and the total bill, including 15% tax was NZ$291 (US$166). The tech said he had to take it apart three times to fix... Recommendation: Robinson Instruments Auckland NZ

SL600 ABC error

I just took delivery of a pristine, low mileage 04 SL600. When it came off the delivery trailer, the white SBC "visit workshop" error was on. The seller says he has never seen that error. Is this possibly due to the 1000 mile trailer ride or is this something serious? Is there anyway to reset without Star?

How To Prevent Water Intrusion in "Blind Spot Assist"

Anyone have a solution to protect the "Blind Spot Assist" from the elements? Mine has been replaced 4 times. I live in Minnesota. The system is subject to harsh conditions several months of the year. Wet, Frozen, Ice, Salt, Brine. I am trying to come up with something that could shield it. Any ideas? I've thought of large mud flaps, covering the detectors and it's connection harness with a plastic shield, or covering it all in silicon caulking. The system just doesn't handle the harsh...

R107 ‘81 380SL No Dash Lights

I've been restoring an '81 380SL for several months and it's finally roadworthy after fuel delivery system replacement, tank screen and sending unit replacement, rear shocks, springs and sway bar links, and linkage bushings. I just discovers that the dash instrument lights don't work, and the odometer works sometimes but not all the time. The question I have is whether the instrument panel is pressed in and removable from the front after removing the steering wheel without removing screws.

Grey box in trunk?

I was going to take a picture and forgot but I'm guessing this one will be so simple that someone who knows what it is can answer me without a picture. In the very front of the trunk down in the spare well, sitting in front of the spare is a grey box. About 8-10 inches wide, 5 inches front to back, and 3 or so inches thick. Has an unusual looking cable connected on one side and sits in a black plastic frame that holds it up off the floor. Right over the drain plug actually. I did a couple of... Grey box in trunk?

U1700 transmission re-assembly

Hi everyone. I've got my gearbox away for a rebuild (eventually I could not get 5th and 6th). When I mate the gearbox back up with the transfer case, I have to first refit the main transfer gear (I think its also called Transfer Case Input Gear) and the two tapered roller bearings on it, into the transfer case. There is provision behind the Transfer Case End Cover to fit shims to pre-load the big bearing. I think the end-flat is 0.06mm +/-.02mm. I have feeler gauges, but an unsure how to...

2012 C250 suddenly has multiple issues with sensors, gauges, wipers, etc.

Hey everyone. My 2012 C250 suddenly started having a plethora of issues that I have no idea where to start with solving. My symptoms are intermittent but are beginning to happen more frequently. All of my gauges rapidly shift up and down between the correct reading and zero. This includes engine temp, speed, and rpm. All the while this is happening I'm getting alarms notifying me that cruise control, abs, and tire pressure sensor are all inoperable. Blinkers seem to no longer function while... 2012 C250 suddenly has multiple issues with sensors, gauges, wipers, etc.

M276 NA High Pressure Fuel Replacement Pump Steps and Required Resets- Help Please

I followed this video how to get to, and remove the pump: I have just performed the PCV Valve parts replacement, which is a major pain in the neck requiring the partial removal of the High Pressure Fuel Pump. Unfortunately, my GLK350 (M276 NA) will not start immediately after "finishing" work. The engine turns over, and even seems to spark for a second, but never idles.
