Re: 07 S550: ABS light on
It hasn't happened again. Would be nice to catch it in the act but I may still just do both rear wheel speed sensors at next oil change.

Re: 07 S550: ABS light on
That thing I said. I guess it's one of the rears. Could just do both.

07 S550: ABS light on
31,000 miles later, BAM, ABS inop. 20250709_064357.jpg Near 100% chance this is a wheel speed sensor which is supposed to be a common issue on the W221. So I'll put this here. I will scan next opportunity. https://www.fcpeuro.com/Mercedes~Benz-parts/S550/ABS-Wheel-Speed-Sensor/?keywords=Abs&year...

Re: 2017 GLS550 148k Service
I would recommend: - making sure those are correct. I didn't read the description but I don't really trust FCP euro's catalog either and you can't go by visual - price out OEM - Replace all of them unless one is really expensive and that one also feels totally fine. It should feel smooth and make ze...

The online catalog isn't good in general. I use my offline copy of EPC (electronic parts catalog).

Re: Extra car for teen drivers
Holy crap, it has Distronic.

Pretty well equipped. Including backup camera. Probably worth snapping it up if you can get it for like $12k or whatever. Or even $12,500.

Re: 14 E63S: steering rack replacement
Turns out the steering wheel was still off a small amount. Center was slightly to the left. So I decided to check via scan tool since the car constantly tries to find center to provide a compensation offset for the steering angle. Rather than lug out the Xentry laptop, I decided to try the Launch x4...

Re: 14 E63S: rear knuckle lower control arm bushings
Now the car as at the dealer for alignment but I also asked them to quote me to replace these bushings. Again, I spent a day on it, so I put in a fair effort already. We'll see what the dealer says. It's too bad because maybe this could have been avoided if I just spent the extra money to get the O...

Re: W221 S550 hunt
Ended up sort of impulse buying a CarPlay/Android Auto module for the S550. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807142775592.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.2.288e2659dECtvm&algo_pvid=1fe4f493-086b-4543-bf96-854e1be102d1&algo_exp_id=1fe4f493-086b-4543-bf96-854e1be102d1-1&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22o...

Re: Wife's new car (2014 Chevrolet Malibu)
Saving this. Add CarPlay and Android Auto to the Malibu. This MIGHT be the only product on the market that doesn't require complete screen replacement. Still, it says 4-5 hour fairly involved install with soldering required. Plus extra work to integrate with the factory mic so I assess that every Me...
