Glad to hear some of you are now making progress. As an update I can confirm my paint is approaching a year and there is no sign of any more blistering.... Fingers crossed.

I have asked the same question at dealers to be told it's due to the European suspension geometry for when driving on the right... Bull crap. If they can go to the effort of putting a steering wheel on the otherside they could also correct the geometry. As mentioned above take it to an...

I wonder why merc spend millions on development when you can just fit a performance filter like a k and n.

What size are these ?

If you can see the varying shades don't accept it. Simple.

My w204 does this on cold mornings if the car is parked down hill. Never topped it up though. Not sure if a sensor issue or I'm oblivious to the water pump problem mentioned above.

Neither, walk to work.

Don't worry about the bumper as it's not covered by the paint warranty as it's "trim" not bodywork. Or so I was told when my claim was being considered. But in all fairness the bumpers were the only panels with no blistering.

I will be perfectly honest somebody called J it seems your in in for hell of a struggle. I found my two local dealers had little interest in the problem because they did not supply the car. After waiting 2 weeks for an appointment to inspect the paint I was told it's rained so it could not...

Nothing happened with my car until I threatened bringing it back for a refund, although I had the benifit (if you can call it that) of only owning it 2 months. From handing it back to collecting it repaired was 3 months in total, although a courtesy car was provided for the whole duration...

The rear wheel doesn't look to special either.

Hi buddy, I don't envy you with getting the problem sorted, I had enough difficulty getting mine repaired after only purchasing from mb them self 2 months prior. Still not 100% happy with it to be honest but it's not worth the hassle of arguing with them again. Lesson learnt though as...

My 350 does crank for noticeably longer than any other diesel I have owned. Thought about it but never had it looked at.

Was great until it started smashing into gears violently. Software update Friday didn't fix it so it's going back again this Friday.

Hi, The last month or so i was certain my W204 was shifting in a way I can only describe as more clunky. Car was booked in at an Indy on Friday who with star checked for codes which there was none, however there was a software update available to fix a known transmission issue. With...

Shouldn't make any difference as the engine will hardly be squirting any fuel in whilst off throttle.

Mine was 3 months from the dealer collecting the car to me getting it back.

I believe most systems calculate a difference in wheel speed via the abs sensor. So the car knows a difference from when it was last set but not an exact ammount it is different by, hence the "check pressure" The cars with an actual readout I have no idea.

Thanks HB. I would be happy to replace them that often or yearly, but at that price they will have to stay in a bit longer.
