Hi guys/gals Not sure if this is the right section, but a quick question about 'claimed' MPG figures. I have a e250 cdi coupe auto (2009) with the 5 speed auto. Anyway the fuel figures were amazing on paper ( far better than my X type Jaguar Diesel). However after a couple of months now, I am...

Hi e250 cdi coupe parking sensors have stopped working. Just the two red lights and the annoying beeping sound. Anyway took it to a well known local garage and his diagnostic machine stated sensor 6 was causing issues. Anyone know which is sensor six??? Cheers

Really hoping that is the only reason. First ever merc and had to convince the other half that these cars a rock solid, just like our Subaru Impreza was. Considering it has only done 37k I am hoping for years of trouble free motoring

i was driving my E250cdi home after having full 'B' service from a local merc specialist. Car running sweet etc, but decided for the first time to put it in sport mode and flaw it a little to see what she can do. Anyway heard a kinda bang and car loss power. Was nearly at home. Checked the road...

Cheers Paul. Did you as you said and all fine:)

Hi, Need to top up my power steering fliud, and see that it cost £16.50 plus the dreaded VAT for a 1 litre bottle from merc dealers. Seems a bit pricey. Can I buy any other power steering fluid from mainstream places such as eurocarparts? Car is a E250cdi 2009. Cheers for any advice

Hi Peeps Had a new radiator fitted and lost quite a bit of gearbox oil in the process. Would it be okay to top it up or shall just go to a garage and have it totally changed ( although it is not due one according to the dealers). Plus its a 5 speed auto E250 cdi 2009. Any idea what type of...

Did not see the link! Now that I have...

Hi Richard So I bit the bullet and did as you suggested ( even went in person to the dealership!). Anyway good and bad news. Firstly they told me they dont sell those plus separately. I will have to buy the entire loom. Good news is, it doesnt cost an arm and a leg. £58.50 plus VAT. The...

Henry. Never looses sunction and is bullet proof. Like a merc;) Its no coincidence that most hotels etc use Henry hoovers....

Massive thanks for that advice mate. How did you figure out I was 'scared' of my local dealer lol! The crazy thing is the looms are going for £100 odd on ebay. PS I take it you work at a Merc Dealership ?

Take it on the chin and just pay for it of I was you. As many members above have stated already it really is not worth it. Anything less than £300 you are better keeping the insurance peeps in the dark...

Just wondering mate, what do you then? Squirt a bit of Millers stuff everytime you fill up then? Can you really feel the difference?

It was a pain trying to read it without a magnifying glass. Eventually took a picture and zoomed in on the photo :) The only number I got was this: 0225451926. Googling that number with the words Mercedes I found what I believe is the plug ( known as clutch housing plug socket). Only problem...

Hi, A few (3) of the plugs connected to the front parking wiring loom have been damaged on my E250 coupe. Just wondering will it be possible to get new plugs or do I have to fork out for a new wiring loom, which seeing on ebay are going to £100 plus.

My previous car was a Jaguar X type 2.2d. Was blowing far too much black smoke when accelarating hard ( was damn quick for what it was). Anyway I friend who was a mechanic suggesting simply blanking the EGR valve off. Brought a metal plate ( around £3.00) from ebay and he just placed it in...

Just wondering Acid, those are impressive figures, but what do they mean in real terms, ie the 0-60 time, mpg?

I figured that was the case, but the big kid in me still wants the 0-60 figures

Just curious, all these figures for remapping seem very impressive ( 50 bhp extra and so on). Out of interest does anyone know what is the 'real' on road difference? Lets say a standard c220 hits 60mph in 8 seconds, if it was remapped and given the extra 50bhp, would it actually be able to put...

Discovered they dont match :(
