It is likely that your e class will have climate control, in which case there is an electric heater that provides warm air until the engine reaches temperature. In winter my e220 takes 5 or 6 miles to get to temp.

Would this be possible on a 2014 W212 and is the engineering menu available as it is in the w204?

My E220 was supplied with 17inch 225/50 tyres, the E250 version has 17 inch 245/45 tyres. Can I fit the E250 245/45 tyres without any issues?

I think you need comand to play a video dvd, the usb port is likely just audio.

Timing chain replacements what were the reasons behind replacing the timing chains... high mileage...poor maintenance... etc?

I understood that the service care plan includes all additional items such as fuel filter, air filter, cabin filter, brake fluid change, transmission oil change etc., am I right?

Went to Warrington MB just to get an oil filter for W211 2.2DCi, I noticed that MB oil 5w30 was priced at just £27 for 5 litres. Just finished the change and the engine runs sweet as a nut.

just had an oil change by an indie, 2007 w211 2.2 cdi, guy said he has used DEX 3 which is recommended by mercedes. Is this ok?

Great information, has anyone paired another bluetooth phone such as a nokia to an Iphone cradle?

I see that some users claim to have paired an I phone 4 with an I phone 3gs cradle using the bluetooth functionality. Is it possible to connect any bluetooth phone to Iphone 3gs or Iphone 4 cradles? Seems a cheaper option than an HFP unit or similar, ie. buy an Iphone cradle and then use...

my 2007 220cdi w211 is approaching 80k, the last auto gearbox oil change was at 40k. Do I need to arrange another oil change, the gear change is fine. If so do I ask for a drain off or is it sucked like the engine oil?

Having MBSH may not be as important as having Mobilolife, anyone who travels abroad or needs a recovery service will struggle to get the same value from an indie and a recovery service charge as is provided by a MB service and free mobilolife

I am surprised that there are jubilee clips on the fuel pipes, there should be a crimped clip. It looks like it may have been changed by someone who is not sure what should be done.

Sorry, 2007 w211 220 cdi

my w211 c220 has now done 66k on the original brake pads. A recent service advised that the pads need changing as they are at 4mm front 3mm rear. Do I need to change yet or should I wait until a light comes on? Is there a light for rear brakes? Also there was comment that the discs had slight...
