Good morning bosses, please i would like to know if there would be any side effect, because my A/c compressor pulley stopped rotating and even broke. The serpentine belt shredded to pieces and before now the A/c doesn't chill like it used to, even after refilling the gas. So I asked my A/c guy he advised I change the whole unit from automatic to Manual else the same thing would happen and that the manual chills more. The car is c280 4matic 2007.

Go to a standard workshop. Any issue bothering on AC repair has to employ the use of vacuum pumps. Did you use it?

My w203 key fob is not working. Currently using the plastic flat key to start the car.

How much does it take reprogram the key fob or do I have to buy another key fob and reprogram.

Advice is needed.

Then for how long can I use the manual key.

Cheers

hello house.

my car is consuming so much fuel. i have done other stuffs to make it better, which included change of AIR FLOW SENSOR.

I ran into this very short video on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TBnIYsycek

pls watch it,it's just 3minutes length.


in the video, the guy talked about Fuel Pressure Regulator.

infact, all the symtoms he referred to are similar to what I'm currently experiencing.
Especially with the HARDSTART.

The thing now is that I use a W203, M112-Engine.
That is the one they call ML-Engine.

but in the video the car used for demonstration is the w203, compressor engine.


I can't locate the Fuel Pressure Regulator im my own engine.

Please where do I locate this in my w203, M112 engine?


I actually showed my mechanic this video of the regulator which they used the compressor engine, he said "there is no device like this in my own type of engine".

pls guys be of help.

Thanx.

Key fob has started working back again. Should I still go ahead to change it and reprogram?


Still awaiting suggestions please

For the m112 engine...I believe the fuel pressure regulator is inside the fuel filter.... Maybe you need to replace the filter with an original one. What are your symptoms?

Change it. The failure starts intermittently until you get stranded in an unwanted place

okay. I wd check into the air filter for it.

1. Hard starting in the morning. Takes like 7 seconds for car start. It kicks for like 7seconds before starting.

2. Fuel finishes at a very ridiculous rate.

3. Car jerks on high speed. I believe that's what some call "hesitation".


The mech said my nozzle-set is bad. He unscrewed this part I attached below. I turned on the car and fuel was gushing out on its own.

he said it's not meant to be so. That he is meant to press the inlet of this nozzle before fuel gushes out.

That he is meant to press with a pin before fuel gushes out.

Fuel nozzles don't get bad like that. I didn't mention air filter. I said FUEL FILTER. And for this specific engine..hardstarting is a sign of bad fuel pump/blocked filter. PLEASE FIND A REPUTABLE MERCEDES BENZ MECHANIC...NOT TREE SHADE/TOYOTA CLOWNS

Somehow I don't agree with the post.
We all know that car designers and engineers are mostly boxed.
There are lines they can't cross while engineering a vehicle...they must follow standards,codes and regulations.
A car owner or a freelance tune dealer is not bound by these laws.
In many countries you can tweak ECMs,modify vehicles for any purpose you want.
For starters....removing the cat from any car that has one will improve fuel economy, acceleration e.t.c significantly.
Since catalytic converter removal allows for exhaust gases to exit a car's engine at increased speeds, engine back-pressure is reduced, which lessens engine strain. This reduction in engine back-pressure and engine strain enables an engine to work more easily, and thus reduces fuel consumption and increases gas mileage.

Exactly and no vehicle manufacturer will agree to this since they are bound by laws in different countries to have the cat in all the cars they make.

Two variables. Affordable. Why did you see only fuel efficiency? 2021 goals!

Because they listed fuel economy? I don't understand this logic.

"And" means both variables are inclusive.
