    Unfortunatley its programmed from the factory so you cant do it yourself. It can be done using Star though. I think Comand online can do it but they are a bit far from you. I believe it puts the outside temperature there instead. Its called something like UK remove mod.

    Wiper Issue W204

    Coming back from Germany last Tuesday all was fine until i hit the UK. Came out of the tunnel and the weather was awful. Heavy rain and strong winds. Whilst on the M25 a particularly strong gust of wind caught my nearside wiper (front) and stopped it moving. I heard a clunk and the wiper sat...

    W204 Rear Light Burnout

    So after fitting the new rear bulb mounts it turns out you do need to use the original brown earth as the canbus needs an earth signal. I tried with a seperate earth wire but had no rear lights. I did crimp and then solder the connections to ensure the best connection possible so hopefully that...

    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    Fixed the rear light earth wire burning out issue on my W204 (both sides) and discovered the tail light and brake light use the same single filament bulb. I guess its a lower voltage on the lights then the full 12v for the brake light. Either that or i have a bigger problem :oops:😆

    C Class regen

    I've been using Tesco fuel and not had a problem with it. Used it in the Citroen before and that did 230,000 miles before i scrapped it (it was totally worn out but engine still strong)and no problem with that either. BUT i do understand the use of decent fuel as i can feel a slight difference...

    C Class regen

    Thanks for the replies. I'd never felt it before with the Merc but i guess that was because of the mileage i did before the lockdown.

    C Class regen

    Morning all, Just a question about the regen process on my C220 W204. Pulled up into the car park this morning and noticed vapour coming off the wet rear window. The rear window heater wasn't switched on by me and switch light wasn't on either. The car felt as as though it was missing a beat...
