    2002 MB VARIO 815D van...............

    Sorry, can't help you with this. You don't have the switch? So it's a 4x2? We've had the warning light once, the sensor at the wheel was melted. So didn’t need a diagnostic, it was obvious after having removed the drum on the rear axle.

    2002 MB VARIO 815D van...............

    Is your question, how can I read out the diagnostic or is your question how can I solve the problem with the ABS? On your dashboad you normally have a switch to shut down ABS, in that case the ABS light starts burning in your dashboard. Maybe you accidently pushed this switch? About the...

    Gray Water Tank in an LK/LN2

(double floor) We go with the camper on skiing trips and we've already had temperatures down to -29°C. Never had any problem...

    ABS in an 1120

    We have that switch to on our vario. It is to shut down the ABS in snow for exemple or when you drive off-road. The ABS light in the dash starts glowing when the switch is engaged and the ABS is not working. The red light is for indicating something is wrong with the system. For example a...

    Balancing Tires 385/65R22.5 with a "balancing powder"

    As you say, you may not have any sharp edges. But it's only for the technical control that it may be a problem. If it is not very obvious (like your wheel nuts), police will never say anything about it. At my knowlegde, they (technical control and police) don't look at the wheel nuts in...

    Paying VAT when purchasing a truck chassis for export

    When you buy from a private seller, you just pay the price he asks. There is no VAT. That's only for commercial sellers. The private seller already payed VAT when purchasing the vehicle and afterwards there is no VAT anymore. If the person was a commercial, he could buy the vehicle without VAT...
