As the title states, having changed my headlights like for like (carried out the black headlight housing mod again) I now get this message on the instrument cluster. The lights work fine, and auto self level when initially starting the car at dusk. Having searched the forums and the net, I have...

Hi, Can anyone advise if Active Parking Assist only works in your direction of travel... IE it will only work towards the left (in the UK)? If not does anyone have any tips on how to get it to active when parking on the right... On the P symbol I have noticed that the arrow has only ever...

I have a 2007 e280 Estate there is a fault code 9023 which is a fault with the sensor for curve illumination it reads as deffective or blocked any ideas how to fix this?

As per title really. I've wired in an active compact sub for my CLK, this is to be used in conjuction with the COMAND APS that i've added to the car. I'm having trouble sourcing a switched 12v live (or 'remote' as it says on the amp) so it can turn on when the COMAND does. I've looked...

Gentlemen Is there any way that I can dampen down the sensitivity of my 2002 CL500's proximity sensors. They are always giving false warnings at the front. I have heard that painting both parts of the sensors might do the trick, but Mercedes says no it will just mess things up, can you guys...

How do you activate the active parking assist function?? :confused: I couldn't find any instructions in the handbook?

Would anyone have a set of the active headlights lying around? I actually only need the driver side because I can see the previous owner has replace the headlight with a normal one :(

anyone had experience retrofitting a carbon cabin filter to a car which didn't have this originally? I have just bought & installed the below aftermarket upgraded pollen filter with a thin layer of activated carbon. Not sure it it'll make a huge difference given how thin the charcoal layer is...

Just wondering if anyone has a pump for the active seats on a w211 (52 plate) going spare, my motor has burnt out and all the carbon vanes in the pump have broken up. Maybe someone might know of any other pumps that could be used and where I might buy something that will do the job, I can't...

Hi all, My dads W211 220 CDI is due a service soon. It has option 581 fitted so it has Thermotronic Climate Control with the extra climate control's for the rear passengers. I am a bit confused looking in the service booklet stating Dust Filter and Charcoal filter, does my car have a...

For over a year i had the "corning headlight deactivated" error, this was being caused by a faulty motor in the headlight unit. I could have deactivated the cornering function on the headlight but i actually liked it so i was about to replace the headlight (£675 from MB), but i read it could...

Another brilliant innovation that is likely to become a long term pain in the butt! The premise here is that, if you hit a pedestrian, sensors are triggered and the back of the bonnet rises by 50mm at the far corners to cushion the impact. Not hit anyone (or anything) yet in 30 years of...

So I moved the CL500 off the drive as I needed to change the ABS sensor from my Lexus IS300, changed that and really pleased as it worked a treat... then brought the Citroen C5 2.2HDi just for a typical service oil, filters etc... finished that and really pleased too. I then went to move the CL...

Is the new ML (166) the first 4X4 to be able to parallel park itself (active parking assist)? I know Lexus came out with the tech first, albeit with teething problems and took ages to park but I believe the new ML is the first 4X4 to have it as an option.
