It can be tiring but you can never mix it up. Every connector can only fit in one socket.
If you still can, try remove it so you can dry it properly.
Thanks for the tip I’ll try to remove them, was just scared of mixing up the connectors. Thanks for the guide.

Opened my front fuse box and saw water in it. My electrician is far from me but told me to remove the brain box and put it under d sun to dry up, and I plan on loosing the fuse box as well to dry up properly
Just budget to buy another ECU and get a panel to through your drain ducts else if it rains again it will damage your ECU. Avoid parking where water from the roof falls directly on the car.

You dug this up from how many years ago?Ask gazzus if he still has spacers....you use it in place of O2 sensors to deceive the ECU that Catalyst is present.

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by EgunMogaji2: 3:35am On Aug 23, 2022
I have GL450 that has the "889 KEYLESS - GO" option which should offer the push start. The truck never came with the push start button so I purchased one off of Amazon.

It doesn't start the car even with the key inside the car?

Any thoughts? Thanks.

PS: I wanted to ask before I start recreating the wheel in case someone on here has gone through this.
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ashimiyy(m): 4:55am On Aug 23, 2022
Just so you know.
Forget that crap about converting your car AC system to manual (using fixed displacement type of compressor). Use that automatic (variable compressor) it'll work if you get the right one for your car.
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by aylipple: 7:56pm On Aug 23, 2022
Good evening. Please, what's the best ATF to use for a Mercedes Benz (2010) GL450? I want to replace the gear oil for the first time & unsure which is best before the mechanic will just use anyone. Thanks.

I’ll be doing this to my MY09 GL450 soon but I’ll be replacing the transfer case chain and oil hopefully this weekend.

Fir the transmission you need oil that meets MB 236.12

I believe that Fanfaro ATF VI meets this spec.

Shell ATF 134 meets the spec and available on Amazon.

Mercedes also have their own oil that’s available on Jiji

About to pick up a 2015 ML350. It'll be first personal foray into the MB world so I'm not sure what to look out for.

Please drop tips and advice to help me carry out a good inspection.

Mileage is low (less than 50k) so that's some consolation.

The Mercedes oil has been adulterated so much. Most of the oils being sold are fakes. Except if he can get from a trusted supplier.
Personally if there is a genuine LiquiMoly then i will suggest he goes for that. Higher chance its original.

Very correct. I'll pick this as it is most likely genuine. Unlike the Mercedes being sold.

Which engine? M111, M271, M272 or M112?
Also color of smoke will really help.
Is it black, blue or white?
