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.

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...

Introduction

What's up everyone. Just purchased myself a 1998 SL500 in almost mint condition. I've always loved the look of 90's cars. I was the owner of two fox body mustangs in the past and for some reason when i saw the sl500 i was reminded so much of them. To my surprise, it was also a 5.0 V8 but with way more horses it's been two weeks since i purchased it and I'm in love with the way it rides and drives. The power is also great when your on highways. I've recently tinted the vehicle, did a... Introduction

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.

As a backdrop, my trusted mechanic and friend to the classic Mercedes community retired about 5 years ago, so I've been learning how to self service and perform small repairs on my two W124's and W108.

My 4matic is a 1990 300E with 117K miles that I've owned for 10 years. The system has always worked flawlessly and has been routinely serviced (front / rear axle...

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

Mechanical pump OM602.982 Where to buy ?

Hello, I am looking for where to buy a mechanical pump for OM602.982 original engine (original injectors and turbo).

1982 380 SL Too many miles ?

My 1982 380sl has 165,000 miles on it. It was a one owner before I got it and the body is excellent. The leather interior has some cracks in the seats but in general the car looks good. The single timing chain was recently replaced and so was the fuel pump and radiator. It has had a major tune up with all the plug wires replaced. New tires and some other minor parts replaced. The car runs good with an occassional hiccup. My question is, with the number of miles on it, if I keep it much... 1982 380 SL Too many miles ?

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.

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

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.

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. I have a feeling I am missing a step for either resetting a fuel cut-off... M276 NA High Pressure Fuel Replacement Pump Steps and Required Resets- Help Please
