Just found out the MASS air flow meter has gone on my car (1994 E220) I know this is a common problem on this car but how much are they to buy new from the dealer? Having had a look at it, it looks like some of the ones fitted to VW's, has anyone priced a VW one and do they fit OK? The car...

Thanks Ian

Anyone know if these wheels will fit my 1994 E220TE? . . . . 205/65/15 they're off an E Class 210 Thanks

The police used to use ML's up to 12 months ago in Lancashire; they were so unreliable they went back to Range Rover & BMW X5's. Mercedes have got problems with reliability on a lot of their vehicles; they also have a lot of serious rust problems too which other makers including VW / Audi etc...

Ford reliability is much better than Mercedes anyway, fleet love them.

Where abouts are you? I'm intrested if your close enough.

Friend of mine has one, he told me the first thing anyone says about the car is the above :D Nice car though :bannana:

I think the surveys DO reflect the reliability of Mercedes. As they do for most other brands. I'd never buy a French car or an Italian car having worked as a mechanic for 10 years, we did so many BIG repairs on French and Italian cars it amazed me. German cars do tend to be better built, but...

An unreliable car is one which breaks down a lot, does'nt matter who makes it. I wont repair a car past it's useful, economic life, whats the point? When people get emotional about peices of metal it costs more money then they're worth.

I think the BMW looks better, too much plastic on the Merc.

LOL

Looks like a Ford Focus with a Merc grill stuck on the front to me :crazy: :rolleyes:

The new BMW 5 series :D ;)

Thats why he's a POWER seller :)

Mine’s been noisy for the past 12 months, are the ones from Euro Car Parts as quiet as the OEM ones? They do sound cheap, dealer wanted around £1000 for a new one :(
