I have a 2006 W211 E320 CDI Estate and am looking for an independent supplier of new OEM parts. I'm considering replacing the majority of the coolant hoses and possibly the water pump. Is there any member here who can access new OEM parts or has a business providing such parts? Has anyone a...

The title of this thread may not indicate the exact problem I'm having. The tailgate opens fine and it closes alright as well but the actuator runs on for about thirty seconds. I think this is because the locking mechanism is having problems engaging the striker plate/bar which needs adjustment...

So! I've just had a quote of £190.00 for a new battery from Mercedes Benz dealership for my W211 (2006) E320 CDI Estate. That is the price including VAT and not fitted. I expect these kind of prices but, I want to investigate some options so, I have a couple of questions. (classic Mercious...

Thanks for that. I did Google and find a diagram, but this is much better. I've printed it off, cut it to size, stapled the sheets together and popped it in its little holder in the SAM on the side of the dash.

Hi Everyone I hope you're all keeping safe and well under lockdown conditions. What I'm after is the fuse and relay location diagram sheet that comes with the W211 2006 E320 CDI Avantgarde estate. The one that came with my car is missing. It usually sits in its holder on the offside of the...

Thought I'd better mention that the car has the SBC braking system and the wheels are 16in diameter and will remain so. Standard set up.

In the next few months I'm hoping to replace the front discs, calipers, pads and flexible brake lines on my 2006 W211 E320 CDI Estate. At present the set up is as the car came from the factory as new. Considering the age of the vehicle, I don't want to go overboard but I might as well go for...

Hey! Here's an update to salve my searing mind. Actually, I'm quite chilled out about everything and, I have to be because things have moved on apace since I last posted. I was worried about that actuator and then the airmatic suspension failed so I decided to bite the bullet and take the car...

Back again with further questions. I bought the actuator motor for the intake port shutoff (MA642 150 04 94) D5-01 Servomotor and three ball socket clips (MA642 091 01 50) D6-03B. Two questions. 1) If I replace the servomotor myself do I need to remove the air intake manifold i'e' split it...

No, it's just me. The local dealership are ever so nice and always ask if I need help in any way. It's just the overpowering fear of the money that sets off a sort of rebellious streak in me. I once suggested they should do away with these football nights I sometime get invited to and plump for...

It's not worked out too bad really. I paid £209.00 inc VAT for the local garage to use their OBD2 reader, supply and fit the new air filters and clean out all the vacuum hoses, check the fuses, check the actuator arm, check the turbo oil seal, clean out the filter boxes and Y section and...

I've just found a YouTube video where you take the cover off the actuator and solder the small connector which is a stainless steel wire. The symptoms I've had in the past with 'juddering' after start up and driving off and the fact the actuator arm is moving freely points towards that. But...

Things have moved on a bit. My local mechanic changed the air filters and cleaned out the vacuum hoses and he checked all the fuses under the bonnet. Still no change so the car went to Mercedes yesterday and was put on STAR and this is the feedback after I've paid the £99.00 inc VAT for the...

Thanks for that. I live between Rushden and Bedford on the A6. I work in Bedford and have used Mercedes Benz in Ampthill Rd. Bedford in the past and an independent on a small industrial estate off Barkers Lane. Bedford and the Bosch Eurocar Centre on the Caxton Rd Industrial Estate. All three...

Thanks for your replies and advice. At 8 a.m. on Friday 3rd May the car went in to the garage for the filters to be replaced. They were done quickly but I only received a phone call at 4 p.m. saying that the car was still sluggish and so further research needed to be done. Today the main...

I bought this 2006 W211 E320 CDI estate in January 2017. I used three quarters of my budget on the car and used the other quarter to have all oils and fluids drained and replaced and all filters replaced. I replaced the charcoal filter and the cabin filters but, for the life of me I don't know...

The car went in for the MOT and it failed on that front offside lower ball joint so that was replaced and the nearside was replaced as well and while the hubs were off the upper ball joints on both sides were replaced because they were getting worn. The only other thing it failed on was the...

I'll have to re-read up on it. My understand is that the SBC unit does away with the need for a brake master cylinder and when you press the footbrake there is an electronic message sent via wire to, I suspect, some kind of solenoid or the slave cylinder on each hub. All I know is that it is...

Thanks for your replies. This is the problem with work. It gets in the way of everything. Time is a major problem but I'm on the case.

Door securely closed (the other three never get opened much). No 'door open' warning. Seatbelt securely on. The other four rarely get used but no warning signs on the dash. No parking sensors. My old W210 had them but there's none on this car. There's no indication of any warning on the dash...
