2010 A207 aircon won’t switch on. Light just flashes a couple of times when pressed and then stays off. Can’t detect the compressor clutch engaging. Thought it was just low gas pressure but local garage checked refrigerant level and was all good. Plugged in my icarsoft and there are no codes. It...

When I bought my 2010 A207 it had been fitted with some cheap aftermarket AMG copy wheels. They were only a year or so old. I put on some decent rubber but couldn’t get on with them so they are up for grabs. Lacquer is going so they would need a refurb and one has a small crack but holds...

One of the front ball joints on our 2010 E350 has worn after 90k miles. Have ordered four Lemforder arms which just come with the nut for the ball joint. Ordered four new bolt sets and cups. They are described as A0003330971 camber/caster correction bolts. The last time it went in for an...

2010 with 80k. Had all four corners of brake pipe and hoses changed 18 months ago. Not used any fluid since then. Wife drove to work today as normal. Came out tonight to red brake fluid warning and pedal going to floor. Pitch dark so couldn’t see any fluid underneath etc. Other than an obvious...

The original battery in my 2010 A207 eventually started to die. Tried ECP who I have used before for batteries but their prices were ridiculous. They wanted over £200 for an 80Ah unit! Bought online from Battery Megastore. £143 fior a Varta F21. Interestingly although not a stop start car it...

I recently dropped my key on the floor and the IR functions stopped working. Tried new MB batteries with no joy. Had a look at opening it up but this type of key does not come apart easily. 2010 silver sided type for A207. I was looking for a low cost repair but the best I could find was £150 in...

Hi, the display in my 2010 A207 has started to act up. Goes blank or scramble’s after about 10mins. The audio side of everything works ok. If I switch the unit off for 5 then it will come on again for a bit. I will check for loose connectors on the back but the way it is acting it looks like it...

Hi, I notice my A207 handbrake is squealing a bit and not holding the car unless pushed on hard. Due to lack of use no doubt and a bit of corrosion on the drums. Is it ok to drive with them partially on to clean them off. The bmw 3 series I used to have had this instruction in the manual and it...

I have just purchased a second hand set of alloys and although the face is fine the barrel has a couple of blisters that I would like to sort before pressing them into service. Ideally I want to sand them down, treat then give the whole barrel a spray. Masking the wheel will be a problem as they...

My 2010 A207 came with copy AMG 19 wheels that are not holding up that well due to poor finish and a magnetic attraction to kerbs. I don’t really want to commit to a refurb as that will only cure one of the issues and I’m not convinced on the quality of the wheel on the first place. Not wanting...

Hi, my 2010 A207 350 cdi put on the engine management light today. No limp mode or other message. Put my icarsoft on and it read this code with the following text “The control deviation during rail pressure regulation is too high’. Code was historic so cleared it, took it for a test and all was...

Hi, attempting to change the lamps in the front of my 2010 E350. The car has option 608/619/621 which is the Hid with cornering and ILS. I have managed to change the cornering H7 and the hid unit without too much hassle. The other H7 is proving a problem though. This one is nominally the high...

I have just been trying to get a couple of parts for my car and have been surprised how difficult it has been. A PAS HP hose and a thermostat for an 2010 A207 don’t sound like unusual parts but MB Salisbury were quoting an estimate delivery time of Jan 22! The dealership have been really helpful...

Hi, Has anyone tried one of these? I have a 2010 A207 without Command (with nav though). The bigger screen and connectivity is attractive but it is quite an investment for just that. Wondered if anyone has taken the plunge? Looks like a feasible diy job as there is no codes or messing with Star...

Hi, Looks like I am losing pas fluid and have booked a ramp to have a look to see where it is coming from. Pump and the fittings around it look ok so it is probably lower down. Any common areas to look for? If worse case it is the rack itself has anyone used a steering rack refurb shop rather...

Hi, wonder if anyone could give me some tips on how to go about fixing the passenger seat in my 2010 A207. The electric adjustment of the backrest only moves for a few degrees and then there is the sound of skipping gears and no movement. The question is can the gears be replaced/repaired on...

Hi, recently bought a nice 2010 E Clas convertible. Hood works well and I have given it a clean and proof with Autoglym. Ran some gummi over the seals after giving them a clean. So the question is has anyone had their hood maintained by a hood specialist. I contacted Cayman Autos who have quoted...

I recently modified the jacking points in the sill to let all the rainwater out that gets trapped in the sills. Sure enough there was a fair bit of water in there and I can see that water drains out from my newly modified jacking points after it has been raining. I was getting new rear tyres...

I fear I know the answer to this but do I honestly need to spend over £150 for a thermostat? There is nothing wrong with the housing and actual valve is just a standard type of unit. There seems to be limited availability too, is there an issue with these valves as they seem to be a common point...

A0038270204 old style iPod to mmi lead. Bought in error as it is for a later car than my 2010 A207. Free to a good home with a non genuine 3.5mm lead and lighting adapter.
