I wonder how many viewers went out to check their grab handles after watching this video - I know I did. Does your VIN come within the range of that TSB, I'd have thought yours would be a Sxxxxx and already had the dielectric grease applied. If it recurrs see if there's a build up of film inside the lenses, cleaning inside with a rag wrapped around a pencil or screwdriver worked for me. No more problems 3 years later. Do you have any advice for autolights that seem to stay on sometimes even in bright sunshine ? I've tried a new rain sensor, new light sensor in the dash grille, no difference. I'm thinking the wiper position when parked might be a problem.
@carfanfan3 жыл бұрын
Mine didn't fall within their range but that was issued around that time. I think it's an affliction that affects just about every X250 by now. I haven't had any issues with my auto lights. It could be some dirt I side the little lens which sits in the molding that covers the rear view mirror.

Graham some led bulbs only have one way polarity. If you look at the base of the T10 bulb, if there are two wires curled over each side, break the opposite ends off each of the wires so on one side you have one wire and the other side you have one wire. That usually fixes the problem

@carfanfan3 жыл бұрын
Hey Simar. It's the thermostat that's faulty. When the engine is cold, the thermostat should be closed to let it warm up quicker. This gets the oil to operating viscosity. If the thermostat stays open, the engine doesn't warm up quick enough and the oil stays cooler. This can cause long term damage to the engine. Get a new thermostat my friend 😉

@@simar98 Hey Simar. There shouldn't be a need to reset anything once you replace it. If the new thermostat is operating properly, the engine will warm up quicker and the sensors will pick it up and you should have no lights. It's a good idea to replace the temp sensor as well. The coolant reservoir also has a level sensor and this can also cause the code. However, if the coolant tank is between the full and low marks then there should be no issue there.

I use a car shampoo by shield but really, any car shampoo with a built-in wax is good enough. For the wheels, I use a mag wheel spray that you spray on and it removes all the dust particles from the calipers and wheels and then just spray them down. I rarely clean wheels as that method does the trick. As for the interior, never use harsh chemicals on the leather, it makes the paint crusty and then the leather starts to crack. Use a water damp cloth to clean it and then use a leather feed - something similar to what they use on horse saddles ;)
