Our waste water sensor is stuck on full with the warning triangle flashing in the overhead computer. Even when it is empty, the reading is full. We are in Canada and have tried using waste tank cleaner etc., but without luck. Does anyone have any ideas or recommend a fluid that will clean the sensor...

Image of fluid attached now!

I am having my heater motor serviced today and the old heater fluid will be drained out and replaced. See image of my existing fluid. I have heard that you need special glycol in the heater system, not just automotive glycol. Is that correct? What is suggested is Propylene Glycol (USP food grade). D...

Thanks for all the feedback! Ian

Another image that may help attached. Are you supposed to release these 2 plastic clips and slide the inside unit forward?

2 attachments missing from our existing display in situ. Attached.

Update on overhead display. We are going to replace the overhead display, once we check for loose wiring etc. Couple of images attached. We have removed the dome light and see the case the display is in. How do we get the display out of the case so that it will pull forward to inspect wiring etc.? I...

Thank you, I appreciate it.

However, my light fitting is an older model than the one in the document. In the attached images, it is quite different.

If you have any idea how to remove the older version that would be great.

I am looking to replace the central control until display and need to remove the overhead front light unit to get access to the display.

Can anyone help me as to how I remove the light unit? 3 images of the light unit attached.

Thank you, Ian

OK, thanks.

If anyone else would like to let me know their approximate oil consumption, that would be great!

Just checking to see if mine is out of line.

Hi Stefan. So how many kms would that be for you in the year? Thanks,

Ian

Our 2008 JC is a 3 litre V6 turbo with 120,000 kms on the odometer. It looks to me that we are using about 1 litre of oil per 5,000 kms. Does this seem excessive or normal? I see that the Mercedes manual states it may even be as high as 1 litre per 1,000 kms!! Any insight would be appreciated. Thank...

I am about to upgrade to Lithium. I have the Victron smart charger and the solar MPPT Victron in place. I have also been told I need to change the old Westfalia relay under the driver seat to a 12v battery to battery charger. As a result, I purchased the Victron Orion TS 50amp 12v to 12v charger. Wh...

Thanks for the links and advice re replacement! Patience looks like the key.

Much appreciated.

Thanks for passing that along. My JC is a 2008, so has the later version bathroom. I am not sure if the bathroom taps are the same. Best solution would be to just replace the cartridge and leave the tap in place. Does anyone know if that is possible on a 2008? Attached is an image of the bathroom sh...
