So I removed the wheel arch and the air pump. A rubber hose coming out of air filter had a cut near the clip, so cut off the bad/ older section of pipe and installed the pipe again. Funny thing is if I move the pump about when its running, I can hear an air leak, but cannot work out where its...

Hi, After 3 years of replacing the N/S Rear Airspring, my 2003 S211 E220 CDI has got the issue of both rear air springs going down this time. Thankfully, this car only have air springs at the back! It started with an airport run a few months month ago where I put lots of luggage in the boot...

So I can connect to the 2 jump start points under the hood directly to charge the main battery? Can I still use the car after removing the aux battery for charging (and isloating/ taping the connectors)?

Hi, I've just bought a CTEK 5.0 to charge the battery as advised by the vendor of new battery. Can someone advise if I need to remove the batteries from the car one by one OR can I simply connect to the power points (+ve & -ve) under the hood and both batteries will get charged from there? Thanks.

Hi all, I've a 2003 E220 CDI Estate. I replaced the main battery of my car 6 months ago with Advanced 019 AGM Car Battery 95ah 900cca with 5yr Warranty. I think the original was 70Ah. For the last 2 days since weather has turned colder, the error message "Convenience features not...

Hi, I had some suspension work done at the front of my car some time ago (lower/ upper ball joints, suspension control arm) but only had the front wheel tracking done (not very reliable/ accurate set up). Recently when the car was lifted on the ramps (to check the wheel bearing play), I found...

Are they easy to replace on W211/ S211 E220 CDi? Any idea on cost? The second hand sumps from ebay were not that cheap really. Also do you need to get a new sump gasket as well when you change sump? The sump on mine was not removed as porous area was easily accessible, only the surface was...

Hi all, My 2003 E220 CDi S211 Estate had for the last 6 months a small leak from the front vertical side of the Engine OIL SUMP. The sump had gone porous from the FRONT (not far from where its screwed into engine) and oil would seep out through the metal on to the anti roll bar and then to...

Finally got it out with help from a friend as I thought I would break it myself. Very stubborn. Really glad it did not break.

Hi, Removing the cover seems like an impossible task. I've located the metal tab that holds the cover. Its springy and I can depress it to the left side, but the cover does not even budge from its position. Don't feel like using too much force pulling it out as it might break. Any other tips...

So any advice on: 1. How do I attach the mirror back? 2. Can the mirror cover (body color) with the indicator lens be opened on its own without removing the motor from front?

Hi Tron, this is a 2003, so a pre facelift. I am attaching the pics. VIN is WDB2112062A324764. Isn't the part number A2038201321? [/url] direct upload[/IMG] [/url] Bilder hochladen[/IMG]

Hi, Hope all are well. Need some help to (hopefully) fix a small problem if there is every such a thing with Mercs! My car is a 2003 S211 E220 CDI Estate (similar to W211 I think). A Beemer zoomed past my parked car yesterday from the opposite direction and clipped the passenger door mirror...
