    R350 - strange rattling noise when A/C air condition is active/used

    I actually nailed it down. It's a pipe-holder that is loose (probably missing a screw and a nut) so I will check with the workshop about parts and possible help. It was visual when the car was in idle/neutral by looking underneath, the holder was rattling in sync with the noise.

    R350 - strange rattling noise when A/C air condition is active/used

    A strange "rattling" noise can be heard from underneath the body of the car when A/C (air condition) is active/used (e.g when the AC button is lit (red LED)). The A/C works fine and it's as cold as it use to be but the noise is something "new" that I haven't heard/noticed before, and, maybe...

    R350 intermittent starts

    Maybe this post belongs in "Electronics and Audio" instead?

    R350 intermittent starts

    Have a new issue with my older R350. Lately the car will not crank when starting. I'm not 100% sure (yet) if it's only when the car is warm or not. For example; Left home the other day, car hadn't been used for a day and it's cold outside, drove for like 15-20 minutes, parked the car, came...

    Air suspension issue

    Removing the fuse for Airmatic (at least the compressor) is sufficient as well I guess? Is this what I would need to patch around this: http://www.air-suspension-shop.com/Compressed-air-hose-cutter...

    Air suspension issue

    I've diagnosed the problem to being a hose that has a leak at one point. I tried (as a temporary solution) to patch it with duct tape but it doesn't seem to be able to withstand the pressure so that's pretty much useless. I saw that there is a "repair" kit available on this site; Repair Kit -...

    Air suspension issue

    Half a year ago I had the workshop change the front suspension. The other day when I started the car I noticed that "familiar" thing that the car was rising (no message on the display though). After that the car has been parked for 2 days, now I saw that the car has lowered itself in the front...

    M272 codes (balance shaft replaced)

    I have to check and see, I know it was a lot of parts listed on the documents I got with the job. The parts you mention (stretched timing chain and worn guides/tensioner) can those parts be replaced without taking the engine out of the car (kind of "quick" fixes)?

    M272 codes (balance shaft replaced)

    My balance shaft was replaced by the dealer approximately 4 years ago (very expensive!). After that the car has done very few miles and we "over-service" the car and follow the scheduled services with the workshop. Now the engine light is illuminated with codes P1208 and P0016. I will have to...

    Rear wiper problem

    One of my R-Classes have recently developed a problem with the rear wiper. When I activate the wiper on the stalk it stops around middle (like 90 degrees turn and point upwards). If I just leave the switch engaged it goes to the end position (180 degrees) and if I continue to leave it it will...

    Good diagnostics tool

    Question is if it has more than fault codes for Airmatic (like reading live values and calibration etc.)?

    Good diagnostics tool

    Thank you for your effort! :-) It seems that the text on the package is kind of generic for all their models?

    Good diagnostics tool

    Could you take a look (if it's easy) and see what type of tests can be performed on Airmatic with iCarsoft MB 2? I have trouble finding decent specifications on the net.

    Good diagnostics tool

    Which specific models from Autel and iCarsoft do you guys have?

    Good diagnostics tool

    I'm looking for a simple (yet powerful) diagnostic tool for my MBs. I have Carly today which is really nice for simple use but I need something that will take things a bit further and which can display live data, calibrate etc. Any good suggestions? I do understand that STAR is STAR but I...
