Hi guys, i've come back from long trip (900 km+) and i decided to wash it on my own. Across my house there is 5 minute car wash with self-service water jets. I know that they are not the best solution for washing, but it was 10 p.m. and i was tired to wash it as it should be done. So in front of the car it was a lot of bugs and flys and i wanted to get rid of them, so when i pointed the water jet to front bumper and license plate the water pushed away this piece ot plastic part beneath the car. I'm not sure from where exaclty droped but i think it was behind the license plate or somewhere between low bumper edge and Distronic's sensor.
I've drove the car since then another 300 km (190 miles) and there is no problem with the car. All functions work, Distronic's functions are fully operational, Thermotronic works perfeclty, Air matic too. I'm not worried but i want to put it back where it should be. So, do you have any sugestions from where it may be ?
Well no, i've double check it and there is no sign of MB stapms and part number. I'm thinking that it may be some plastic cover for something or some house exit. Even may be it has been forgoten from factory But this is too much for Mercedes, may be..
Well i can't be sure on 100%, but i think it's from the car. Because before to drop down on floor it was a little bit jammed on registration plate. But it may have been ejected from washing equipment, like spray nozzle. But if it's part of washing stuff, i suppose that i should have hear when it hit anywhere on the bumper or registration plate. One of our local MB club made a guess that it's possible to be part of parktronic sensors but it's just a guess.
Are any of the parking sensors loose if you touch with your hand? If it's suppose to hold the sensor in place, I would of expected the sensor to fall inside the bumper when while you was jet washing.
