Its been running fine since it was made and no software has been changed or updated - it still has the original 2019 maps. Do you still think it needs an update?

Hi, New fault on my facelift 2019 C220d estate - the navigation shows me on a road, but when I make a turning, it still thinks I'm going straight on the original road! Then after quite a bit, it may jump to the correct location, until I make a turning again. The receiver is still seeing many...

Weren't you saying at the beginning of the thread that this car was worth £7k to dealers????

Hi I've just got myself a SL55. One small problem is that the key only locks and unlocks the car when it is close to the handles using IR. MBS Southampton have said that the key is transmitting radio but the receiver amplifier on the car needs changing. Any idea where that is and the part...

I don't think its worth more than £2k personally, based on the rebuild cost and what it would be worth when its finished.

So what's the car worth if there was nothing wrong with it?

I spoke to the seller and he reckons its pistons or bearings - sounds expensive considering its a unique engine - bored out to 6.1 so presume parts have to come from Brabus. Wheels are not Brabus also, which is a real shame. Previous owner had a go getting it fixed and gave up by the sound of...

Engine parts are going to be VERY expensive!

I think you'll find that this is not based on a CL55 but on a CL500 according to this: Engine tuning is also available for the CL 500 model. The options start with the B8 tuning kit for an increased power output of 419 hp / 308 kW and culminate in the Brabus 6.1 displacement engine with 462 hp...

Is there anything out there that fits the W460 front properly?

Yeah - my thoughts as well, however just spotted this which looks like a W460 with the same front spoiler: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Ben...m=201348259010

Hi I'm looking at this car but wondering how to fix the various bodywork issues, especially the front end. Can anyone advise if that front end can be made to fit or will I need a whole load of different parts? Any advice regarding wheels and back end? Thanks!

Anyone?

I have a Dec 2014 E Class and my DAB is useless too - volume keeps changing and sounds like a stuck CD player. Also the Comand audio fadeout does not work even with the option ticked - Merc did an update a couple of days ago due to info on TIPS but it is now worse than before!

Comand Online audio fadeout Sorry to revive an old thread but I am having a similar issue. I took delivery of a W212 facelift brand new in December. I have been experiencing "no audio fadeout" even with the option ticked in Comand. I took it to the dealer today and they said its a known issue...
