Replace your alternator it's not charging.

We have had check engine lights on all vehicles for 35 years--so why the question? Check for OBD Codes,look them up & diagnose them

You can buy a double sided one with 16mm one side 18mm other.But plugs do vary and you can get 14,16,18,21 that l know of. LUCK

In order to replace the right front lower control arm you will a spring compressor. That's the most important tool you will need so that the spring does not fly out at you when you lower down the control arm. The control arm bolts are 21mm or 22mm nuts & bolts depending on if alignment adjust bolts installed or not. If adjustment bolts are installed then you will want to pay attention and note to which side the notches face so that you install them back into their original position. The ball joint nut will either be a 17mm or a 19mm. 16mm for the shock and a 22mm & 17mm for the sway bar link. Compressing that spring is the most important part of the jb though so don't forget to compress it.

there is two or three rods under the car comming from the gear stick and go to the gear box these rods change the gears on the car

Under tue bonnet by the brake booster

All of the following:

1. Change all fluids including coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and crankcase oil. I would strongly recommend increasing the viscosity of your crankcase oil at this point, and use higher viscosity oil from now on. Change the oil every 3000 miles from now on as well.
2. Replace oil filter and transmission filter.
3. OVER-LUBRICATE (really) all lubrication points on the suspension, pushing out and wiping off as much old grease as you can. Inspect all bushings for signs of cracking, wear, or chapping.
4. Perform a MAJOR TUNE-UP, replacing spark plugs, wires, and coil packs.
5. Check all brake systems for signs of wear and proper operation.
6. Re-pack all wheel bearings, inspecting them for excessive wear or failure.
7. Check front tires for uneven wear. Perform a front-end alignment if there is any uneven wear or cupping on the front tires.
8. Rotate tires, inspecting wheels for cracks or other damage.
9. Check all lights and signals for proper operation and full illumination.
10. Use penetrating oil on the battery connections to eliminate and prevent oxidation of the terminals.
11. Lubricate all power window mechanisms, door latches, door hinges, and power seat mechanisms.
12. Lubricate hood release, trunk release, and any other hinges in the vehicle.
13. Use electric-safe penetrating oil (such as WD-40) on all switches, wiping off excess lubricant.
14. Go a little crazy with the penetrating oil on anything that moves or pivots, again wiping off any excess.
15. Tighten anything loose on the interior.
16. Clean the throttle body using OXYGEN SENSOR SAFE throttle body cleaner (if you're unfamiliar with the correct procedure, look it up or ask me).
17. Replace the fuel filter.
18. Add a bottle of FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER to the tank. Don't add any more fuel until the tank is nearly empty.
19. Check the operation of the shocks/struts, and replace as necessary.
20. Check for engine codes and correct any identified errors.

That should keep you busy for awhile :) It's worth it.

there is electr. leakage.

You will need a new window regulator

Go to the dealer or call them, tell them this is my car and the radio has a code. I need to listen to the music and this car of yours is not letting me. They will give it to you or try reset it for you. Ask how much though before you do anything. They are expensive and they will not let you free easily without paying. No such free service especially from Mercedes.

what color is the smoke has it got a blue tinge to it if so its the oil ring if its just loads of smoke the other possibility valve oil seal the spark plug seal which is in the rocker box or valve cover this stops oil seaping throught the plugs into piston you could get a compresion test to see if its a cylinder seal
