Re: The panoramic sunroof on my W205 won't open.

Much obliged for the response… I believe I have found the solution to the repair problem. There is a plethora of information on YouTube, but I am unable to remove the glass because I am unable to reach the nuts on the front. How do I do that? That's what I don't understand.

The panoramic sunroof on my W205 won't open.

At the moment, the sunroof is electrically stuck closed and won't open. The driver's side stays down while the passenger side partially lifts when you try to open the maually via the motor with an allen key. If I can't lift the driver's side to gain access to remove the glass, how can I investigate ...

Putting aside flat tires

I was wondering if anyone has swapped out their X1's run-flat tires for go-flats. Because I reside in a rural region, potholes are causing me to lose a fortune's worth of vehicles. I've gone through no less than three tires so far this year. Even though I'm worried about damaging the suspension, I'm ...

Re: Model year 2014 F10 520d

The parking brake won't engage sometimes if the pads are very worn. This happened to me.
when it was revealed that every single problem
It was my rear brake pads, I discovered.
I was the only one affected by that.

Re: Turbo failure in the X5 E70

Personally, I think the DPF is to blame for the turbo's failure more than the other way around.
If the turbo is becoming really hot, it's likely that the DPF has to be removed and cleaned.

Is it really going to transition from small to big turbo? I'm worried that a vacuum problem is keeping it ...

Re: Recognise a component from a 1989 420SE

Salutations! I really value the time and effort you put into videoing your MB linkage. We will examine next week when we return to the automobile since I believe I can see where the 'unidentified' portion from your video may be going. Once it's back on the road after a year off, I'll share my ...
