new member, need some help.
hi there everybody, i've just bought my first benz, a 2002 E320 avantgarde and i'm having a few problems with it. Sorry but i've tried searching the forums adn can't find an exact answer to my problems....... first off, the service light flashes and beeps everytime i switch on the car. I just had the oil changed but it still beeps and flashes when i turn the car on. How can i disable this beep??
second, i have a rattle from my exhaust. I've ben told its the cats. the exhaust shop says i could take out the cats and just replace them with a straight pipe and have no cats on the exhaust. This is very cheap but what would it do to the car?? i've been told its legal in my country to do this. Alternatively, what kind of price in US$ would new catalyctic converters cost? is there any other way to fix this problem without replacing the whole cat??
Oh, also, my car didn't come with a manual. is there any website where i can find an online manual becasue there are so many gadgets i don't know how to use, like the tv and other little things? Thanks a lot, i appreciate the help.
