Hi, My car seems to randomly go into LIMP mode after fuelling up. This is the second time happening after fuelling up. I always use Shell V Power so it can't be the quality of the fuel. I am waiting for MB Breakdown to come look at the car as I can't drive it to the garage. Has anybody else...

Great glad you got it sorted

Aw man, thats not too good. Hopefully didnt impact you too much. With the air suspension driving at some fast speeds makes you feel like you are cruising along at 70 lol.

That is just to stop you having an accident. It autobreaks the car if it thinks you are about to crash. Standard feature in all cars now.

TBH from experience if you are never going to use its best not having it. I bought a C220 few years back just for the distronic and 2 days later developed a fault. The MB garage took 1 week to find the issue after replacing the star badge, radar sensor and eventually after none of that working...

TBH, i don't think MB will give that in writing. I have spoken to 2 MB dealers. My local one in Edinburgh and MB in portsmouth and both told me the same thing. I will be around 3l as well when I go for my next service. I think it's not considered an issue as an E400d is quite rare in...

Active Distronic Assist is an optional extra which costs around £1600. It's not that common but I would highly recommend it if you ever have an option in the future. As mentioned by others a few give away signs that your car has it: -shiny printed MB star logo on front - on newer cars the...

Ultimately if somebody is going to steal your car they will. Any security device is going to slow the thief down and hopefully put them off trying to steal the car. That's the purpose of getting additonal security devices. The thief wouldn't know you have a ghost so when they try and boost...

I had a similar issue. I spoke to my local mb dealer and the master tech said the E400d uses around 1k of oil per 1k miles so its normal. I keep 1l bottle in my boot in case it needs topped up. I first topped up at 2500 miles after a service and will need to top up again soon at 8kmiles. Car...

I think the W213 has only a digital dipstick which you can view on your dashboard. It can sometimes be slightly off however if the oil gets low it will tell you to add x number of liters in. My 213 is the E400d and I usually need to top up 1 litre every 5 to 7k miles depending on how I drive.

Ghost is the best thing in my opinion. Nobody can steal your car unless they lift it onto a tow truck. You can now get a fob for your ghost as well rather than entering a code each time and the fob works only when you are in your car. All approved dealers charge the around same price so don't...

Hi, My driver window switch has popped out. I am guessing it needs replaced and was wondering can I simply pull on it and then replace it with a new one or does the whole door panel need to come off and the switch console removed? Thanks

Thanks. I think you are right there.

I attached a picture above However what you quoted does make more sense than the fuel filler cap.
