Perfect, many thanks. It is indeed air suspension compressor. It stops as soon as I unplug the battery

Hi MB Club, I've just purchased this 2010 Viano and it comes with several problems, one of which is a rattling noise when the vehicle is off and not moving. It comes and goes for several hours after turning off the vehicle. Here is the video of it: Does anyone know what could cause this? My...

Hi there, looks like I am one of those unlucky ones that have camshaft lobe issue. Has anyone had the same issue? How much did you end up paying for the job? And can you please recommend someone in south east? I am based in Kent. 2016 W213 E220d

If I am not mistaken W212 has built in function to adjust the headlights to the other side, no mechanic is needed. Just look up in the settings menu on the dashboard. I'll check mine and let you know tomorrow how to do it

The battery on my wife's Hyundai Santa Fe died. Is it safe to jump start it using my 2011 S212 as booster car? Really don't want to get any electrical faults afterwards.

There are some updates regarding my HU. Yesterday when I just plugged the new HU the Radio started playing automatically, I muted the sound for some reason. As I did not have a CD disk I could not check it but had a USB stick with music on it. When I selected the USB from the menu it recognized...

I have 5-speed automatic transmission (early 2011 S212). How much approximately Mercedes specialists charge for transmission service?

I like leather. Not the fake one (yeah Mercedes) but real. Especially when you have kids, if they leave a surprize of the seats just wipe it and like new again

Normally keep for 1-2 years, then get bored with the car and look for new emotions...

W124 - my first love :) The first Mercedes that I've sat in the early 90's

Beautiful car! Regarding the winter boots. How often does it snow part of the country? Did you notice more tyre noise when driving on the motorway or there is no difference at all?

Looks great, love convertibles with hard top

Hi Mike, I have full car spec by VIN and says that car has Audio 20 and Navigation 20. I also have original booklets for both Audio 20 and Navigation 20. To be honest I wouldn like to keep the car as it came out from the factory, so probably will not go aftermarket head units. But in worst...
