***** in my Joints and ESP defective
Hi guys,
Sorry meant to say all my joints are balling up with pain.
Changed my all ball joints, upper/lower and arms and drag links.
OMG its almost killed me at 4hrs a side and alot of energy drinks, TWO people would really help when using the crow bar to get the old ones out!
Steering definitely has less clonks turning and over bumps.
Tracking is out and steering wheel is way off centre....................................
at 30 mph ESP defective comes up, is that because of the tracking problem? Or have I damaged a sensor (I did remove them from the hub before I started the work)

MBWorld Fanatic!
I think youre spot on in your thoughts about the tracking throwing off the ESP. If I remember right the ESP uses the wheel angle sensors as part of its system. Get her aligned and see what she does.

Yes aliment done and no ESP malfunction now.
I swear every time someone says "that's a nice car you have" I get another malfunction and this time its SRS?
I am starting to really not enjoy this car

I really have had bad experiences with this car in last 6 months, nearly every couple of weeks.
now tonight SRS and ESP inoperative are displayed on the IC .
Can the service memory showing full, interfere with the IC,
as the service menu shows lines like this below, instead of service information?

I appreciate the your situation, did you sort all problems with the valve covers?
