Re: Assistance for Pedestrian Protection System
I have not seen any instances of someone disabling the system; what would be the rationale for such an action?

Re: Assistance for Pedestrian Protection System
Intentional disablement differs from wear and tear, and insurers increasingly employ forensic investigators, particularly where substantial compensation payouts are anticipated.

Re: Coolant antifreeze for the 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ B 200 CDI (246.201)
Mercedes used blue coolant until 2014, after which it was replaced by pink coolant.

Re: Could you assist me in identifying this sound - brief video
Greetings
I photographed each of the brake pads and discs. Aside from appearing dusty, are there any apparent issues present? I observed that the pads are nearly in contact with the discs - is that typical?

Re: Could you assist me in identifying this sound - brief video
Greetings Thank you for your counsel; that appears to be a plausible explanation. I was merely uncertain if it indicated something more malevolent. It may seem trivial, but when assessing whether one object is hotter than another, one often evaluates the temperature by positioning the hand nearby to...

Could you assist me in identifying this sound - brief video
Greetings Could someone assist me in identifying the potential sources of this sound? Information I possess. The sound intermittently occurs, not consistently from the outset.

Re: 2014 C218 CLS250 with AMG badge?
It is present on the inner matting, but absent elsewhere. Does anybody know whether they were installed as standard equipment? If it is aftermarket, it is being sold!

2014 C218 CLS250 with AMG badge?
Greetings, everyone. Merely a little matter. Did Mercedes affix AMG badges on AMG Line vehicles? I own a 2014 CLS250, which has a CLS250 badge on the left side of the trunk and an AMG emblem on the right side. If it is factory-installed, I will retain it; but, if it is not, I plan to remove it, sinc...

Re: Dilemma about the E70 X5. Before or after Lci. (3 litres per day)
You are in the same predicament I had a few months before. I opted for the LCI 40d; yet, having had a late E53 3.0d for the last decade, I still have misgivings over the N57 engine. In truth, the earlier pre-LCI M57N2 surpasses in most aspects; nonetheless, the LCI features an 8HP gearbox, CIC, enha...
