I'm GrooveOn, 😀 a self-taught ‘Mechatronic Engineer’ spending 3 decades across Automotive, Aerospace, Rail, Construction and Heavy Engineering to name a few, never resting until I find a solution!
Specialising in automotive, diagnostics and fault finding repairs, I tackle the job often for the first time, so you get a ‘real-life’ understanding of what’s involved and not a scripted video.
My goal is to provide free, highly useful tips and information to give you the confidence and encouragement to tackle that job for yourself that you may have been putting off. (I also make a wicked Thai green curry!) 😉
Hello mate just watched the vid . Really enjoyed it. Just wanted to ur advice because one of my clips to attach the grille is broken so what would u recommend?
@@adambadat1974 hi there, I had the exact same issue, in the video I used banding strap, or use similar, try using some good epoxy or id you can some small screws as well on the inside. If all else fails and you are not that handy, you could use tie wraps 😉
Hi Groove On, I really like your videos and I need some explaination over de steering wheel function. I'm an owner of a SL500 2003 and when I tried this function it ask for a road test and i'm stuck with with it since then. The ((ABS)) symbol steel light up and I can't erase the road test code with the iCarSoft. Please help....
Du bist so Krass!!! Die Action steht in 2 Tagen vor mir und es kraut mir echt schon davor! Du hast das so klasse gemacht vielen dank für das Video es war eine richtig gute Arbeit.
no help for me! i click upload file and it doesnt change, the save button doesnt light up and it says file is not an image. its a gif image, 375 kb, please offer me a suggestion
Sir you are a wealth of information. Thanks for sharing. Just bought a used 2012 SL550 (still an R230 in Canada) and look forward to seeing all your tips!
Hi There - I was just watching this video and I wanted to share some more key fob tricks. With my R230 if you press the open button twice all the windows roll down. Press the close button three times all the windows go back up. Press the open button three times, the vario roof opens. Press the lock button three times, the vario roof closes. pretty neat huh...
@@GrooveOn possibly...mine is the Sports package.. I want to change the Command system to a newer system with back up camera wifi, bluetooth etc but i still want to retain that old look on the dash. Any suggestions sir...
@@FrederickEsiri I have all of the items apart from camera, using a Mr 12v module. You can get units that look retro still ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FCCMRnVwk5U.html to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KV0eL6yb5WY.html
Yes they handle well in corners. but If you are looking for comfort in these cars lol forget it and look for something else. Engines are bulletproof reliable but suspension parts are made out of tin foil 😂 and the car. You will feel each & every single bumps, potholes, wind noise on the road. Save ur money & go for german its not all about engine relibility. comfort that counts too
My engine light came on after putting it high and I put it lowest setting but it’s still on checked the code it says it’s a problem with sensor what should I do I’ve reset to factory settings on the box
I've just put a deposit on a 2010 type s to daily. I have an mx5 and want to keep the commuting and winter miles off that. Looks like it will be a nice commute.
I have the iCarsoft Pro and it is a right pain going through every module looking at faults and clear. Dunno why iCarsoft didnt have the option just to display fault codes, Would save so much time
So, if the trunk closes automatically and locks, then the actuator is okay, but if the trunk closes and locks, but there is still a gap and the rear tail lights don't line up (2022 C-class coupe), then more likely, the pull-down motor needs replacing? (unless there is a fuse (maybe 213) that is the problem? If I put some pressure on the closed trunk/boot, the tail lights align and there are no gaps. Thanks for your videos.
Bought the launch scan tool off ebay from the official launch seller, wanted the elite they sent i believe is a lpwer version was told the elite version i wanted has cosmetic damage , not available. Was curious about launch, now not so much think i will look elsewhere
Had my actuator done under warranty and have just turned on keyless to find that door doest unlock/lock car but all others do. Maybe they put in the wrong actuator 😂
Thanks so much for posting this video. My blowers were stuck on full blast, the blowers-off button didn’t work, I had to remove the fuse to make it stop. After fitting a new heater resistor it works again. (79330-S6M-941 from Jap service parts) Things to note: I snapped the panel trying to bend it to get to the bottom screw. Not sure how it comes off. Took one clip off but think half the gear surround needs removing to do it without snapping
Hi. For some reason the roof on my SLK 350 R171 will not open with the key; only with the inside switch. Any ideas? And can the silicone be a problem if a little gets on the paintwork?
Thank-you for this video mate had same thing with mine saw this video so was first place i looked and found same problem all fix now thank you ,now subscribed
Nice car ! So I did another video showing how I disconnected my CD changer and used a device called Mr 12V. They are very early videos so apologies for the quality ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FCCMRnVwk5U.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KV0eL6yb5WY.html www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124978427864?_skw=mr12v+bluetooth+mercedes&itmmeta=01J7TH9X7KY2TR2ESDVDJ7CJX8&hash=item1d194b77d8:g:CIYAAOSwcJRhe-zx&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkplxtYnfN0%2FXpexnFxq5C91T8IVzdU4ZYWGujhIz4NmRmmWrR4V8j4ALiT%2FyCrIlGPHoDUlBTCX5RxreFf4%2BuOBPBEpynnDmCP20bZTkUXogJ3arWstrTnJ7bCI55Y5MUgIRvDyDWWsHy3dNGaMF56zZbTq6e3GPV%2Bb3iin8xy8GwPFkLJhT0n4oOuZyRksjFMCCTZdV4W2%2BZADfCnX9JrvY1t203Hrm9ay5LNiaQQmRO2qpMwyEO6ilB%2FyVb1heRLhO04c70E8JVUW9oaKuTALpyYO0jiKweVnNmy7TFilw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM8tOn0b5k&edge=1
Not much material out there, but you seem to be the man. I have a Mercedes e class cabriolet 2015 and for the life of me I can’t seem to find what’s causing this rattling from the rear. I don’t quite have this 2 bolts like in your other vid. Any help would be grateful.
Hi there, is the rattle still there with the roof down? I would first start with cleaning and lubricating all the rubber joins as well as any plastic parts using a silicon lub or spray. To give you an idea here is the method on my Mercedes SL ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-COY1q2GmRUE.html
