There's a wiring diagram on HK audio location and wiring? that appears to show orange, brown/orange coming out of the amp, and getting split into green, brown/green for tweeter, and green, brown/green for bass. Just wondering if anyone knew where exactly that split is?

Hi, looking for some help with the wiring from the Harman/Kardon amp in the boot of my w204 to the two door speakers (tweeter and woofer/bass) on the drivers side. I've had a look at the amp in the boot and it looks like there is single orange, brown/orange coming out of there, and I've had a...

Interesting article on brakes here by Carroll Smith -Warped- Brake Disc and Other Myths

Can I ask where the parts list came from? I'm looking for a list of parts related to the differential (the standard open and the 471 option locking diff).

Does the exhaust come off/get cut for a diff installation?

Does it pull as well (so if you let go of the wheel, it turns by itself in one direction)?

Affalterbach will do it on the w204, but Merc UK and two different dealers so far have told me no. Maybe an indie with access to Merc spares? I hear great things about the Quaife.

Micheling website (Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S Tyres | Michelin UK ) only has 1 PS4S tyre at 255/30 for 19inch rims - 255/30 R 19 91 ZR(Y). I put a pair of these on last week, replacing a pair of P Zero Nero GTs (6000miles and through to the chords on the inside shoulders, but still about 2mm...

I've spoken to Sytner Bristol and Sinclair Cardiff about a retrofit of the 471, and both said they wouldn't do it (AMG quite happy to do so, but require a 1500 mile round trip and a few days with the car). Would be interested to know if someone has been carrying out this work.

Sinclair in Cardiff. I've found mention of a recommendation for 5w40 for the m156 in the c63 on the AMG Private Lounge forum, but that's back in 2008 (pre facelift, pre changes to prevent headbolt issue). Is there anything official?

Interesting. Can you elaborate on the drain down issue? MB dealer just gave mine a B service and used 0w40 oil. All previous services used 5w40.

Dealer told me that the only adjustment is front toe as standard (via a trackrod adjustment). They said they could fit adjustable bolts to open up other settings as demonstrated in this thread. If camber and caster are not adjustable as standard, does that mean something has either broken, bent...

This applies to the following: Mercedes Benz 204 (C-Class 2007-15) AMG Europe version/USA : M156 03.2011- (Sedan/Wagon/Coupe)

Cheers guys. What are you guys using to check and alter tyre pressures? I've got an IR thermometer so can check surface temps (but not carcass-need a probe type pyrometer?) across the tyre pretty quickly, presume I don't want to see centre higher than inside and outside? Done a fair bit of...

Europcar Cardiff gave me a GLE350d when my c63 was in last year. It's just been serviced and had a CLA shooting brake for the day from Sinclair.
