Oh so I was driving from Manchester to Leeds during rush hour with a steady pace or 50-60mph. Couldn’t get any higher speeds due to the crazy. My car managed to average over 67mpg over the 50 miles and about an hours drive! 67MPG!!! Wow [emoji50] for a 3.0 V6 diesel! E350 coupe bluetec 7G...

Update Nox Sensors: Got a call from my local Mercedes Dealership regarding my call to MB Head office. GREAT NEWS GUYS / GIRLS!! Mercedes are covering 100% of the cost as a good will gesture! Mercedes HO offered 65% contribution and it was my local dealer that contributed the rest. Reason...

The E350 Diesel is the perfect engine and a proper one FOR ME. Perfect all rounder FOR ME. BACK to the Nox Sensors. I called up Merc Head of office Services and had a list of bullet points that you all had mentioned ie poor quality sensors , common fault , good will gesture for people out of...

Thank you guys for all your posts. I’m gonna use all the info I’ve gathered from this forum and others then contact Mercedes HQ. I will explain the Nox sensors are poor quality and are a common problem and it’s not right that I should be forking out £1200. Others have had it done as a good Will...

Your totally right it’s the NOX sensors. I missed heard on the phone I do apologise. Merc had no attempt to repair the issue. I was told that the error said replace both Nox sensor. Which I don’t believe so I demanded the error code and was told they don’t have it. Said I won’t leave until I...

I’ve called around and a garage has quoted me £433 this includes VAT. For a knock sensor replacement. Garage claims there is only the one sensor. Mercedes quoted me £1200. This is two knock sensors. I’m really confused on the prices difference. I’m also waiting to hear back from Halfords...

Not sure how to remove the SOLVED bit of the post sorry. Genuine Mercedes , I’m upset that this has an issue. Mercedes said £400 each knock sensor and labour on top. Did call another specialist and they quoted £350 each sensor and then labour on top which was around £900. Which is £300...

A couple of hours. 2 maybe 3 hours max I’ve been told. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My E350 coupe 2013/2014 engine light came on recently and Mercedes said it needs the knock sensor x 2 replacing. Quoted £1200!!!! I googled the part and it comes up really cheap so not sure why they charging me this. Anyone else had any issues with a knock sensor. My mileage is 65,000...

I’ve just got myself a can of this silicone spray. Please can someone tell exactly where to apply this. Thanks. Do I just apply the silicone spray alone the edge of this glass panel ? (Arrow on image) I did try this and didn’t seem to get better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just an updated for searches: (mainly for people who come across a similar problem) Buckled Alloy Wheel Buckled my 19” alloy on a pot hole. I knew i damaged the alloy as it instantly had a vibration feeling through the steering wheel. I got my wheels checked out at my local tyre garage...

£200 to £300. I said why is it so much they said it’s just labour. I said that would only cost £10 from my local tyre garage. He said they are many factors that go into it. Remove tyre , sort out pressure sensor, value, install new tyre , rebalance , and fit. Madness! Sent from my iPhone...

Update: So after thinking the repair wasn’t great, I thought get all the wheels rebalanced and checked just in case. This way I can check if the repair job was good or if any of my other wheels were causing me problems. Repaired buckled wheel was perfect, I can’t believe how much of a good job...

These looks much better. Did you sell your old set ? I’ll try to get mine perfect and vibration free if that isn’t successful then individual replacements. But if I need to replace more than one then it has to be a new set and sell my current ones of for pennies :( Sent from my iPhone...

Some part of me is saying just get new alloys all round, maybe try something new. What are people’s opinion for a nice set of alloys 19” on an e Coupé black ? Cost of alloy refurb (diamond cut would cost loads) and getting the alloys perfectly straight will cos me a loads that I might as well...
