    Active Brake Assist Not Working , Car Stopped

    no, nothing to do with the winter tyres, happened c. 10 months ago as well, very briefly on an A road, pulled over, switched off and restarted and all was ok. I informed the MB dealer where I have it serviced, they didn't know of anything like this happening and couldn't find anything although...

    I was driving on the M6 this morning and an orange warning message came up, can't quite remember exactly but it was to do with the Active Brake Assist, showed the symbol of the car with some zigzag like skid marks and said ABA not functioning consult owner's manual and the car slowed down to a...

    First time Mercedes owner - service due, help

    Did you get this sorted? I would have gone to the indy and asked them to update the MB database with the service performed. I've been quoted £2k for a 3 year plan covering 4 services. I know the next one is a B service and the 2nd to last or last one will include the gearbox. I thought about it...

    Air Suspension Compressor / Pump W213 2017 E220D SE Premium Estate

    had the air compressor replaced on Saturday at Merctech in Speke. Bill came in lower as the supplier of the new pump does a part-ex scheme, so not sure if that means I got a reconditioned one, forgot to ask! Anyway bill was approx £730 incl vat. Car now running as it should. Interesting...

    E Class 2020 Facelift Intelligent Light System beam pattern request

    I have a 03/2017 E220D SE with the same problem. It said on the options list from the dealer (bought used in Jan 2021) that I have the adaptive LED lights, and I keep getting flashed all the time. I noticed that I don't have a front fog light selection on my fog lights button and don't see any...

    Air Suspension Compressor / Pump W213 2017 E220D SE Premium Estate

    just in case anybody is interested, have had 2 quotes, basically cost is c. £780 incl vat for parts and labour! Dealer is paying for it as it happened in first 30 days. Must say I'm really pissed off as I specifically looked for a very low mileage car so I wouldn't have any issues like these...

    Air Suspension Compressor / Pump W213 2017 E220D SE Premium Estate

    Does anybody know if the air compressor is the same for all E Class models or are they different from the W212 to the W213? Indy garage is trying to source one (W213) for me now to cure the dreaded 'Malfunction' warning symbol...

    AIRMATIC MALFUCTION

    I've cancelled the diagnostic test but booked it in for a service end of March which is when it is due, they can check for error codes then. Car has only done 18k miles so it can't be wear and tear, and coming up for 4 years so I couldn't imagine any pipes, bags etc have perished. Yes could be...

    Bought a 1 owner FSH 2017 E220D SE Premium with 17,000 miles

    Been posting for a month and just noticed the introduction message. Based near Liverpool, expecting to keep my Merc for a good few years as it's the £20 tax variety. Already impressed how a car this size with 194bhp can have better fuel economy than the wife's Grand C Max 1.5 TDi!! Hopefully...

    AIRMATIC MALFUCTION

    bit of an update, I found an indy in Speke, MercTech who charge £60/hr including vat and booked car in for Thursday 28th, however since last week the malfunction symbol no longer comes on. Should I cancel the diagnostic check? As the car had probably been standing for some months before I...

    AIRMATIC MALFUCTION

    Excludes VAT! MB indy in Liverpool is £72/hr + vat so won't be going there! Will be interesting to see who they can find to provide work, also are these warranties worthless down south where I would expect the hourly rates to be even higher!?

    AIRMATIC MALFUCTION

    didn't check but presumably yes it excludes vat as the warranty company would reclaim the vat

    AIRMATIC MALFUCTION

    I took out a 3 year warranty and the car supermarket is 170 miles away, need a repair garage that charges less than £50/hr (they don't tell you these things when you take out the warranty!)
