Re: AMG changes gears

As for cold-weather low-down shifts, I've had those too, but I'm not too worried about it because everything is fine as the oil heats up. In my 2007 W211 E320CDI, I had a similar problem; switching from second to first gear was a bit of a shock at times, but that was only when the car was cold. I ...

Re: W212 Insufficient gas pressure

What does this fuel rail pressure mean while the engine is at idle? The value fluctuates between 26000 and 32000. Many thanks

Re: W212 Insufficient gas pressure

Thank you. I will take care of it. A few years ago, I had an issue with a B6 Passat. I removed the pump from below the rear seat, and to my surprise, the tank had a lot of gel or sludge.
Once I got everything cleaned up, it was ideal.

W212 Insufficient gas pressure

Hello, my 2012 E250 CDI W212 is up for sale. I keep getting the P0252 fuel quantity control valve code whenever I accelerate rapidly, and the EML light comes on. Yesterday, I changed the valve, but the EML light came back on after only two minutes of driving with the code P08791, meaning the fuel ...

Re: Pressures for 1,6 tdi 225/35/19 tires

I possess the black version of the model 2 and the sticker that displays the two tyre pressures.

Even with 36 psi all-around, the ride could be rough on certain roads.


To my knowledge, the lower pressures are only a "comfort" pressure that provides you with the option.

Re: Problem with the 8-speed automatic gearbox in some BMW 5 series vehicles

Only members of the forum have firsthand experience with dealerships; in my own experiences, customers are always handled extremely well, shown various payment plans and new car options, etc., but they simply do not know anything about cars and allow the salespeople to explain everything to them ...

Re: Problem with the 8-speed automatic gearbox in some BMW 5 series vehicles

Since you've already paid to have the issues checked, you should insist on receiving the codes.
