Update - light still on... Hi all, Since my last post, I had all 6 glow plugs changed (without having any fault codes read) but the problem has remained i.e. warning light comes and goes. We then hooked up the car to a laptop this weekend and after clearing all the stored faults codes, waited...

Thanks all. I spoke to a mate who is a mechanic and he told me not to bother paying £40 just to have the codes read. He reckons it is a failed glow plug too and he can test it with a meter to identify and replace just the faulty one(s). Prestige wanted to replace all of them for £250 and/or...

Just to clarify, regarding possible loose connection, it is not as if it flashes on and off. I meant it comes on for a while, then goes off. Most of my journeys tend to be pretty short (45 mins or so) and it now seems to come on daily a few minutes into the journey and stays on for a couple...

Thanks.Just had it service 7 weeks ago and forgot to mention it then but that was because it hadn't happened in a while so it slipped my mind. Does anyone here know of anywhere that I can get codes read in North/East London without resorting to MB? If not, I'll find a way somehow...

Hi all, I've had a bit of an issue with the preglow indicator on my 2009 CLS which seems to come on mid-journey now and then. The first time was after about 150 miles of a motorway journey had been done and it kep coming on/going off for the remainder of the journey (anoth 75 miles). It now...

Quick update - ALL SORTED! :) Didn't need to cut anything on the connectors in the end, I just used a flat screwdriver (very carefully) to loosen the black connector so that the white one would fit without the index tab or anything else having to be cut (use a screwdriver slightly bigger than...

Reviving an old thread for anyone who may search this at a later date...had all of this sorted by Mark/Richard at Unique Sounds/COMAND online when getting my media retrofit done. Reverse gear now working as it should i.e. Engaging when I select R rather than ages later! I think they just flashed...

Bloody ipad spellcheck...y'all know what I meant to write lol :)

Actually, no need to check that VIN. I was at my local MB dealership today where they have a ver good parts guy who looked it up for ma, apparently that is a grey one - looks beige to me, but there you go. Looks like it's the first one, as soon as I do a practice run with that spare wire...

Following on from the quick German lesson from Richard, I did a search in German and came across this one MERCEDES BENZ E 200-500 (W211) Innenspiegel - OM642.920 - Bj 2007 - 292860 km | eBay It looks to be the newer style with mic on top, judging by the white connector, which would save me the...

Thanks Richard. I can live with a 'fault' reading on the mic as long as it works - also prompt me to get to you guys quicker too. I was more concerned about the comment about the connector tab as my tabs are white and I don't want to risk messing the connector up, but then I remembered this...

Thanks Richard. The first one seems to have the same mic configuration as mine - mic in the top of the housing, those 'vents' look exactly the same - but my colour is 8J12 as per the second one. Incidentally, it seems to be the same item as the one you originally posted a few days back, just...

Obviously meant 'Nick' !!

Thanks Mick...typical, eh?! And anything about colour codes? I have asked them to confirm but independent verification is always good! ;)

Can anyone help with the other two VIN nos. at all i.e. did they come with auto-dimming and telephone pre-installed? They are both for sale with the same seller Richard linked to and at least one looks to be in a better condition. The actual eBay links are: MERCEDES BENZ E 200-500 (W211) rear...
