Thanks for all the suggestions, I have plenty to think about now. Looks like it might be worth getting the pressure checked and if that's ok I'll swap out the evap temp sensor, It's a cheap part and I might get lucky. I think a leak is probably the most likely problem although I did think that...

I have owned my 2002 E240 with 80k miles for nearly a year now. The aircon didn't work at all when I got it and about 3 months ago I had it re-gassed after which it worked beautifully- ice cold. That only lasted around 2-3 weeks so I assumed that I had a leak and was going to get around to...

Well I had it regassed yesterday at my usual indie and it's fine so far. They didn't find any leaks so fingers crossed! Thanks for the replies.

I have owned my '02 E240 W210 (78k on clock) for about 6 months now. The air con has never worked and was on my list of jobs. I was going to start with a re-gas and take it from there. I was out for a drive today. It was about 25 degrees outside and after about an hour's driving the air con...

I am about to fit new rear outer track control arm bushes to my '03 W210 E240. The bolts will need to be replaced due to rust. Can anybody please tell me the part number or spec of the bolts? It's the bottom bush in the hub that I am replacing. Many thanks in advance.

In case it helps anybody else, after lubricating all the bushes one by one to isolate the noise I couldn't find it. Went for MOT last week and tester found 2 broken springs, one at front and one at rear. I now have 4 new springs and no squeaks (and £520 less in the bank!). Silence really is golden.

Yes, it did sell, sorry.

Just get a pixel repair kit. It's the ribbon cables that fail and the fix is fairly straightforward. Just have a look on Youtube, there are a few good videos there showing the procedure. Basically there are two methods, one involves a special soldering iron (which isn't expensive) and the other...

My W210 has developed an annoying (and embarrassing) creak from the rear suspension and I am struggling to locate it. I understand that this is a common fault with the W210 so which bush is it most likely to be?

I recently posted regarding a problem with my 2002 W210 which has only 75000 miles on the clock with a full service history.. I was getting a CEL and cylinder 5 misfire under acceleration. I changed the plugs and leads and ran some injector cleaner which has fixed that issue but I still have a...

Looking for just the front 'glass' for the instrument binnacle on my 2002 E240 W210. Mine has some cracks. Can anybody help? Maybe a dud instrument cluster with a good cover?

Hi all, I have a 2002 E240 W210 with 65000 miles on it and it has a misfire problem. It runs really smoothly but has a slightly lumpy idle. If I floor the throttle I get the check engine light and it throws a misfire code for either random multiple misfires, cylinder 3 or cylinder 5. Once I get...

Thanks Jobsworth. That's the very thing!

There's a ticking noise under the bonnet on my '02 E240 W210. It's coming from a little electro-pneumatic or vacuum gizmo just by the ABS pump. What is it and does the ticking matter?

Morning all, My W210 has an antique Audio 10CD fitted which is pretty basic by modern standards. I would like to upgrade to a system that doesn't look too space age in keeping with the 210's gentleman's club like interior. I also want it to play mp3 cds and retain the steering wheel controls...
