The full issue is that I when driving (after a short while, 5mins) I get two display faults pop up on the dash (one with a key symbol and the other with a light bulb), the front parking sensors also come on sporadically, there may be the odd flash of the "SRS" light (for a split second) and...

Did you ever get to the bottom of this issue you were having mav01987?

Success, the car is back together and all is well in Merc land.

Thank goodness! The blowing of compressed air and some WD40 did the trick, though it still took some fiddly and pushing the clip down over the retaining bump. All good now. Hopefully with any luck I can now put the other bolts back in and get the car pumped.

I have come across an unusual challenge while changing the rear passenger side suspension airbag (right hand drive), and that is not being able to plug the power clip back into the new OEM airbag. It is the same part number and identical the one that used to be in there but for whatever reason...

Beautifully put!

Yes I cleared all the codes the other day, that is the list of codes that came up after a couple of hours driving.

Thanks for the comments, I don’t mind the heart breaking along with constructive remarks. I've been using the Foxwell NT530 for diagnosis (with Mercedes module), which seems to work reasonably well but probably lacks some detail compared to Mercedes star. As far as codes go, there is a list of...

I recently bought a 2003 E55 (RHD) with a number of issues to work through, thankfully some were addresses recently and I've made further progress with a few, but there are still a number of items that I can see will be testing my patience over the coming weeks and months. Some of the recent...

Might this still be the case if the motor sounds like it's working? I ask because I have the same symptoms i.e. the automatic boot close doesn't work, but something can be heard when it is pressed. I have stripped back the boot covers and found a small part turning when the button is pressed...

I have a similar issue, though I can hear the motor operating when I press the automatic close button in the boot / trunk. It’s almost like there is a cable that should be operated off the motor that isn’t connected, any ideas on where to start the hunt? I’m not sure if this is related, but the...

Thanks m80. I've done exactly that, I plan to use the car a couple of times over the coming days so I'll see what comes back later in the week. 🤞

Hi all, I'm new to the MB world & forum, but have gained invaluable knowledge from the site already as I looked for my car. I love all things motoring (except traffic jams and road tax!) and have had many cars over the years, but I've never quite had the opportunity to scratch the AMG itch...
