    2005 W211 E320 cdi Headlamp Lenses

    The lenses do polish out to a as new condition. However, don't put lacquer on them but go for the 3M UV-resistant foil. The lacquer will start peeling in a few years. I've spoken to a guy which reconditions headlights professionally and he told me that the factory lacquer is applied at a...

    722.6 TC problems

    I made two videos - here you can see the rpm drop slightly from ~1500rpm and the car jolts slightly, in a few seconds the car upshifted - the same happens here but around ~1600rpm, again the car jolted and a bit after the clutch was applied the gearbox upshifted..

    722.6 TC problems

    Why do you think it could be the conductor plate? It sounds like a classic case of slippage due to failing TC, no?

    722.6 TC problems

    A bit of a background first. I have a 2007 E280 CDI 4MATIC (hence the 722.6 and not 722.9) with 200k km (124k miles) on the odometer. Soon after I bought it from its second owner, I noticed that the first few shifts when the car had sat in the cold were very rough. After some reading I reached...

    E280 CDI oil leak?

    I've noticed something that looks like an oil stain in the front of my engine on top of the oil pan (?). I think it has become larger during the past couple of months but I don't have any photos from before. Where could it be coming from? It can't be the oil cooler leak as it happens in the back...

    CLS grande edition cold start problem

    There are a few versions and some of them are known to be faulty, that's why I'm asking. This is mine, for example. Beru are OEM. They go for around 100 quid on eBay.

    E280 CDI hard cold start smoke

    My W211 E280 CDI needs some cranking to start when the engine is cold. Now that the temperatures dropped, there is a noticeable amount of white smoke coming out of the exhaust until the engine warms up somewhat. I am suspecting the glow plug relay as I know it's a common failure on OM642s but I...

    Unlock E280 CDI ECU

    I know that the E280 CDI and E320 CDI are the same but the formeris de-tuned and there is a portion of the ECU which is locked out that contains the E320 CDI data. Can this be unlocked and how? I believe I've read somewhere that it requires physical intervention, i.e. it's not like a remap.

    W211 folding wing mirror

    I have electrically operated wing mirrors. The one on the driver's side of the car (continental EU) is broken such that when I unfold it, it doesn't stop at it's previous position but unfolds all the way. At a speed of 50km/h there is a feature that "hardens" the mirrors and when this happens...
