Diagnostics Mercedes ML
The owner of a Mercedes ML arrived for a scheduled maintenance and the owner also had questions about driving. Mileage check time has passed. As a standard, we start with computer diagnostics. We do this with the help of Star Diagnostic, a special diagnostic equipment for Mercedes. Let's look at the pendant. Changing oils, filters, etc.
Computer diagnostics showed an error in the wheel speed sensor, the mechanic checked which element was not performing its functions. Found that the wheel bearing has axial play. When we carry out diagnostics and repairs, we inform the car owner, tell him how the service is carried out. The owner wanted to immediately replace it with a repairable one to save time.
Suspension Mercedes ML
Often the presence of a malfunction is indicated by the corresponding indicators on the dashboard, we advise you not to ignore them. It happens that at the initial stage, repairs cost a penny and are done in a couple of hours, and when it goes on, both the price and the complexity of the work increase significantly.
All suspension elements are interconnected. There is play in the bearing. The bearing connects the wheel of the car and the suspension. It has a magnetic ring from which the sensor receives information. Since there is play, the magnetic ring comes into contact with the sensor when driving, damaging it.
