Researching the W204 (S204 to be more specific) has highlighted a possible timing chain issue, is this problem overhyped on these 1.6 and 1.8 petrol engines as I thought MB engines were tough as nails if looked after? I’m looking to buy a petrol 2012-2013 C180 with around 59-60k miles… should...

Hello all, a returning forum member here, I owned a 2007 B Class in 2015 and sold it 2019, and am now ready to become a MB owner again. Where's the best forum section to ask for buying advice on a petrol W204 Estate circa 2012-2013> TIA

I've had my a/c re-gassed 3 times now in the last 12 months, my local independent garage did it twice (April 2016 and September 2016) and the most recent was 35 days ago at Kwik Fit - none of them could find a leak and now it has lost it's cold air again :( I do hear a strange...

Can anyone confirm the speaker sizes in the W245? I think they are 16.5cm in the front doors Either 10cm or 13cm in the rear doors. Not sure about the central dash mounted speaker?

Haven't been on the site for a while so here's a quck update on my little B Clss, just had my roof wrapped in gloss black vinyl and the rear side and back windows tinted by Car Tuning in Wilesden, top guys there and highly recommend their work. They even covered my petrol cap with a nce carbon...

Hi all. Bought my B Class in November 2015.... never used the aircon set to cold until it got warm around April this year and the air was only luke warm - not cold at all..... so I took it to local independent garage and they re-gassed it for me and it was ice cold. All fine for the next few...

Hello all So I found out the correct way to measure a wheels width is to measure form the bead seat to the opposite bead seat (Shown in Photo 2) Question is.... on this alloy shown below that is 7.5'' wide... the inside measurement is 7.5'' but the outer edge to outer edge is 8.5''... is...

Hi all Desperately need to replace my upgraded 18" alloys as they get kerbed too much being that they have zero tyre protection! I think my stock alloys that are now sold were 17x7" et49 PCD 5x112 with 215/45/17 or 205/45/17 tyres I'm looking at going back to 17" just need a cheap...

Fitted an Aluminium effect dash trim kit to my 2007 W245. Fits very well, feels a bit like a latex rubber if you've been lucky enough to feel that texture lol. I applied some 3M Primer to aid adhesion and it has all held well and seems secure enough, time will tell. Main Dash Before and...

I spent an unsuccessful 30 minutes trying to get tar spots off the roof of my car with AutoGlyms Intensive Tar Remover after reading good reviews about it. I'm not knocking the stuff but I think most tar spots are only a car for a few weeks if that before they are removed. Now my car was...

Is it mainly the older cars that get treated to such lavish and time consuming detailing? I've just spent an hour washing, drying my car... I am struggling to find time to do more planned detailing like Polishing and claying etc. I thought I was OCD about car hygiene but some of the guys put me...

This bulb is in the tailgate, is the actual lens supposed to be pryed off to access the bulbs behind it, it looks too rigid. Stupid W245 owners manual is useless for this as it doesn't show how to change these bulbs, maybe they want dealers to do it?

Just went to install a car seat in the back of my 2007 B Class W245 to find out it isn't suitable.... The rear seats have such a steep decline on the seated part that the child seat ends up putting the baby at an angle that is too upright, it needs to be 45 degree incline max. Seems these rear...

My alloys look great but are a pain to clean being multi cross spoke with, count it, roughly 60 gaps that needs inserting to clean per wheel! That's a total of poking some form of brush or cloth covered finger and giving it a good fingering excuse my French, 240 times for all 4 wheels. I...

Hi all I got two keys with my 2007 W245 B Class, however one is not locking the car :( Both keys are the 2 button type ( lock and unlock) and both keys start the car and unlock it.... However 1 key then doesn't lock the vehicle... I think the actual lock button is broken as I can't get it...

Anyone got a picture of some mud flaps fitted to a 2005-2011 W245 B Class?

I recently upgraded from 7x17'' alloys to 8x18''.... went down in profile from 45 to 40 series to keep the rolling radius the same on my '07 W245. but I think the turning either on or off power has deteriorated and the steering feels heavier now. I am still using the same width tyre of 215...
