After a brief but unsuccessful flick through ebay, I'd thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a source for a plain (without badge) front grille for a W213 fitted with the AMG stlye front bumper, possibly in conjunction with the upright bonnet badge. Both, I believe, are available on the european...

Hi, having bought my E last year second hand but from a main dealer and with the 3 year service plan, I'm wondering whether it's likely to be invalidated if I get it remapped. The car is out of manufacturer warranty this summer. It's a 15 plate E220 Bluetec AMG Night edition - 177ps - which...

Hi - has anyone out there managed to set up an integrated wifi hotspot in an E Class (S212 facelift with Comand 5*1)? I know the car can read and play 720p mp4 and mkv video files, and I know it has a wifi radio - it can connect to my iphone's personal hotspot via wifi, and it can see all of...

Just checking in again now I've returned from the dark side of Audi ownership. In 2016 I traded in my lovely, unmarked, remapped S211 E320CDI Sport for an Audi A8 SE Executive 3.0 quattro. Call it a brain fart, I have no other excuse :) Lovely car as it was, it just wasn't a Merc, so I have...

Full set of winter tyres mounted on aftermarket alloys complete with wheel bolts, all to suit a W211 E class (these have bene used on a facelift 2009 E320 CDI sport estate with no issues other than a one-time reset of the auto tyre pressure detection). Wheel details: Proline Cx200 5 Spoke...

Hi Folks, I've just spent the day installing a home-brew in car media solution for my 09 S211 E320 CDI Sport. It includes a power take-off from the 12v power socket in the ashtray, a 4-way 2a per socket USB power supply hidden in the space between the glove box and the dash closure panel, 2...

I am nursing a crazy idea to potentially completely re-engineer the multimedia/entertainment environment in E320, with a tablet main interface and a couple of backend Raspberry Pi's handling things like Bluetooth connectivity and media server duties. One element will include mounting an...

Afternoon all. So I am in the process of sorting out a couple of Raspberry PIs to act as 1) Bluetooth audio receiver (my car doesn't have Bluetooth audio fitted) and 2) An in-car media centre - wifi based so the kids can stream movies from the PI to their iPads on long journeys. I have a...

Is there anyone out there interested in swapping the wood trim in their facelift 211 e class for a perfect set of black birds eye maple trim pieces? I am looking for the golden brown walnut equivalent trim pieces as I prefer the colour. Ideally, you trim will be in a RHD 08 E class estate...

Can anyone enlighten me as to the connections to the cigar lighter in my e class. I'd like to use it as a hard wired power point for a phone charging cable, as it's easy to get to and close to the phone holder location. There are three connections - Brown (assuming ground) Grey/blue tracer...

Folks - can anyone tell me if the wood trim on the rear doors of a facelift 211 estate are the same as the equivalent saloon trim pieces? I'm not massively keen on the black maple finish on my sport estate and am looking to replace with the light walnut that (I think) comes from the elegance...

Thanks to Ollie and the crew at PCS - "Eddie" went in for some TLC last week, including an ATF change and Celtic Remap. I don't have the certificate yet, so I don't know precisely what gains I have on the car, but it feels absolutely mega. The guidance I got was to expect around 290bhp (from...

Just debadged my S211 E320 CDI - despite being nearly 7 years old, no sign of paint discolouration where the badges have been all this time - all it took was 5 minutes with some T-cut and all is good. I've debadged it in prep for a stage 1 remap at PCS - booked in for next week :) Dead easy...

On the back of the " death of diesel" debate, and having become addicted to torque, I've been idly looking through used car sites at AMG E55/E63s. This one has got be worth more than the asking price in parts alone? Buy it, run it for a few months, if anything major breaks, sell it on for...

The rear wiper on my 211 E estate stopped working this evening - I was just giving the rear screen a wash and the wiper went through half it's cycle slower than normal then stopped almost vertically on the way back to the parked position. All of the other Tailgate electrical work - rear...

four questions regarding ventilation/air con on my newly acquired 2009 s211 e class estate. firstly - noticed the other day that even when set fully cold, the air con doesn't blow icy cold. It was pretty cool outside but would have thought I'd still have chilly air through the vents...or is...

I found a loose bit of plastic in the back of my 211 E class estate and would like to put it back where it belongs - alas, I have no clue other than the part number moulded into it - 211 619 17 38 A quick Google throws up the part in one of two places - Front floor assembly or rear floor...

I'm picking up an S211 E320cdi sport Estate at the weekend and will need to get a second set of wheels for winter tyres before mid February (driving down to Italy for a week skiing). The car is fitted with (according to the data card) Sports Styling, Sports Suspension and Sport brakes, and...

Hi all - picking up my first Mercedes on Saturday - it's an '09 211 E320 CDI Sport Estate in silver. Drives like it just came off the production line despite its miles and age. Can't wait if I'm honest. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and found this forum invaluable for pointers...
