    Best tyres for 2013 CLS?

    I have recently replaced the tyres on my E350 212. It was on the orginal Bridgestones when I bought the car, eventually replaced the rears with Rainsport 3. This was not a good move as the rear moved around a lot (soft sidewalls?) and the uniroyals wore out fairly quickly. I have Michelin PS4 on...

    Possible to add 3rd row of seats to E220 estate?

    If your car has Adblue then I think you can’t fit the extra seats as the Adblue tank takes up the space where the seats would go.

    Confused about headlight switch, mainly the foglights - W164 ML350

    of the stickiness is the rubbery coating disintegrating then it can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.

    Auxiliary battery

    It is located under the load area floor in my 2014 E class estate. Lift the boot floor flap and it is visible. Not sure if the CLS is the same.

    Brake Hold

    When the aux battery in my 2014 e class began to fail it caused this problem. a new auxiliary battery fixed it (along with the eco stop/start).

    Looking for support / advice E63 Differential?

    I can’t help with the diff question but the brake hold on my 212 became intermittent and then stopped completely due an old aux battery. A new aux battery fixed it, so I hope it is simple as that for you.

    Thanks Richard. Seems the Software update I had not only improved my DAB reception but gave me DAB+.

    DAB to DAB+

    I am not sure if my 2014 came with DAB+ capability from new or if it was added when I had a new aerial booster and DAB software update a few years ago. Would be interesting to hear from other 212 owners to see if they can pick up the new talkradio+ channel and if they know if their DAB software...

    DAB to DAB+

    I came here to ask a similar question. My understanding is that my 2014 E350 should not be compatible with DAB+. However I can receive the new TalkRadio DAB+ station. Just after I purchased the car, about 3 years ago, I had the DAB aerial booster replaced under warranty due to poor...

    W212 E350 not changing into 7th until 74MPH...?!

    This thread made me take note of when my E350 changes gear. In E mode it changed into 7th at 54mph. This is with the 7G+ box. My service plan has expired and I was wondering whether or not to renew. Looks like I will be moving to an indie.

    Engine temp gauge not working

    If you leave it parked with the engine running does the temp gauge rise? If you then start driving it does the gauge drop to the minimum again? If so I would suspect a stuck thermostat.

    Best place to purchase an auxiliary battery?

    MB grangemouth was a lot cheaper than my local dealer. Tanya was £20 cheaper but I decided to go with Grangemouth in case the issue was not the actual battery. I thought if I had to take it into a MB dealer it would be better with a genuine battery. It arrived today and I fitted it in ten...

    Best place to purchase an auxiliary battery?

    The auxiliary battery malfunction message has popped up in my 2014 e class. Looks like I need a new aux battery. I popped my reg number into euro car parts and Halfords but neither list the aux battery. Is Mercedes the best place to purchase a replacement or can anyone recommend anywhere else I...

    Anyone know KR13 UGF E63 estate?

    I went for a test drive. Was undecided whether or not to buy. Dealer called me today and said it was sold.
