Car has only 106kmi. I did a scan on it, nothing too serious popped up
except as below with ESP. Running OK but in trans limp mode so will
need to get the ESP sorted.
Cleaned the car up, it was not too bad at all, a good vacuuming and wash
got it looking better. Will need a good paint buffing. Interior pretty
clean, leather almost all quite good, one tear in the driver seat, will
probably scrub the carpets at some point. Console lid release is
broken, will have to sort that out. Plastic does not hold up well. It
has the seats that the bottom goes forward and makes a lot longer leg
support, very comfortable. The lumbar bags aren't working which I think
is a common failure but could be a fuse or something. Not critical but
would be nice to have.
Found a loose/bad power connection at the power point in the passenger
footwell, got that organized so most of the power funkiness has been
sorted out but there might still be some niggling issues, more to come.
Battery is not draining now so that is encouraging. The trunk lid
release switch works intermittently as does the auto-lowering/raising
windows when the door is opened and closed. Windows work though. I
have not been through all the fuses yet.
Hydraulic suspension pumps now and holds, probably needed some
exercising to clear out any goobers in the lines and struts, so that is
good. Still getting ABC error but that might go away, not clear why it
should be there. I might be able to clear it.
Has ABS and ESP errors which might be due to a bad module or connection,
will take a look at that. Might have another module, in any case they
are available on eBay for $35 or so.
Fun times on a very cool complicated German car! Not bad for $1500 now
that I have some of the issues sorted and the remaining ESP thing
doesn't look too bad.
