I have a W204 2011. Earlier this year I had the "top up coolant" warning come up on the dash. It's the first time since I owned the car I've ever had to top anything up. It had lost about 1 litre of coolant. I kept my eye on it for around 4 weeks and it didn't lose anything. Then I had a...

I've recently got my car back after a nightmare having the sub-frame replaced (took almost 3 months). Now my attention has turned to the steering lock failure that can occur on the W204. Mine is a 2011 model (I think manufactured in 2010 but first registered in 2011). I spoke to my local...

I have a W204 (2011 1.8 petrol) which until today has been an almost faultless vehicle. On the way home today the engine management light came on about a mile from home. When I got home the first thing I checked was the oil cap, only to find gunky chocolate coloured residue underneath. My...

As many of us will know the Mercedes phonebook puts contact names as last name and then first name, i.e: Smith, John I'm not sure if newer models have the option to reverse the names, but certainly my W204 doesn't. Looking around the only suggestion has been to switch the names around in your...

I am now in receipt of my 2011 Mercedes C180. Everything about the car is brilliant. With just one snag. There is a dead spider behind the speedo glass, along with a web that the said spider must have created before its demise. Does anyone know the process for removing the speedo glass, I...

Hi I haven't yet collected my Mercedes yet so I appologise for the question, when I take delivery I can obviously play around myself. It's a 2011 C-Class and was advertised as having an auxiliary port. I did look for this at the time in the glove box but couldn't find it (there were many other...

I'm buying a used Mercedes which is 4 years old. Overall in very good condition but has the usual swirl marks and some light scratches associated with general wear and tear and poor washing technique that I would guess 99% of the population put their cars through. The dealer is going to...

Hi all, I'm about to become the new owner of a 2011 C180 petrol sport. It has taken me almost 3 years to find the car that I like and get rid of my Jaguar X-Type. I hope the Merc proves to be as reliable and nice to drive. Looking forward to having a few more toys though as the Jag was bog...
