Yes I have seen the other posts about this subject but my question is slightly different and I wondered if anyone can assist. The above messages pop up after about seven or eight miles. Switch engine off, restart and they are gone. Using my iCarsoft tells me that there is a problem with the...

This topic has been discussed before on this forum, I know. Black smoke on hard acceleration. Some folks say it is quite normal, some dont. I do know that there are certain things which can contribute to excessive smoke, one of those being that the car has been 'chipped' (I know this because I...

Good morning everybody, My 2011 E350 needs attention. I have had to have the O/S rear tyre replaced because the tyre was worn down to the casing on the inside if the tyre. After replacing the tyre I had a four wheel alignment check and the report shows that the toe adjustment at the rear is not...

Hello everybody, Roger here. I currently have a 2012 C350 and it is now time for an oil and filter change. Pretty straightforward, you might think, just like the dozens of oil changes I have done before..... Car up on one ramp, remove the protection from underneath, bowl in place, undo the...

Hello everybody. I have a 2006 MY W211 E320 fitted with the Bosch SBC braking system. Does anyone have any info about this other than what is in the handbook and Haynes manual? I have two concerns about it. One is that it seems to be excessively noisy when priming, as if the motor is on its...

Hello everybody, Of course the really hot weather arrives and suddenly the aircon doesnt work.... When I press the A/C button the red light flashes for a bit then goes off. I have had the system recharged and the technician told me that the flashing light (which still flashes) indicates a fault...

Hello everybody. I think I have finally got this post in the correct forum.... I know that this has been discussed before and I found an old post which directs me to a Dropbox link to explain how to reset the service indicator but the Dropbox link doesnt now work, so could anyone explain the...

Hello everybody, yes, I know this has surfaced before. I have two messages on my display that I would like to dispose of. One is a red error message saying 'visit workshop' and a graphic of a car battery. This has been present for about 18 months now and came on when I connected a 12v...

My E320 has an extremely loud creak which appears to be coming from the offside front. Took it to my local indie who of course could find nothing wrong but suggested it may be the lower track control arm balljoint. No charge for the examination, but it would be £95 plus Vat to replace. Hmmm...

Right then. A while back I told you all about this lovely 2005 ML270 I had bought. I also explained that I had a brake problem with it....basically a soft pedal. Car weighs 2.25 tons and does shift when it wants to so confidence in the brakes is a must. I didnt have it. So I replaced the brake...

Hello everybody, I suspect the answer to this question will be the ubiquitous STAR machine, but the forum is a pool of knowledge so I thought would check if anybody has experienced this before... Occasionaly on startup, the four amber warning lights listed above come on. They dont go off when I...
