    2007 E Class sat nav

    Hi and please excuse any ignorance on tech! I’ve never had decent use from the Mercedes sat nav and always up until now just plugged in old faithful Tom Tom. The issue I have is that the postcode option just appears to give the first four digits rather than accepting the entire seven, which...

    Parktronic rear

    My rear parking sensors haven’t worked for a few years and as this is the only current fault I’d like to address it. I recently bought an iCarsoft MB2 for fault code diagnostics which has already helped out on showing up a dud Reluctor Ring. The present readout concerning the Parktronic was that...

    Tyre pressure sensors

    Hi All, I removed the valve sensors in all the rims a while ago as I was replacing my tyres and prefer to manually check pressures. Of course I now have the dash reminder to check and reset this. How can I disable the message and if it can't be done manually through the Command system, is there...

    Rear ABS Reluctor/Impulse ring replacement on 211 estate car with air suspension

    Soon after sorting out my rear air suspension woes I got an ABS fault which made me bite the bullet and buy an iCarsoft MB V 2.0 diagnostic tool. Sure enough it suggested a fault with the L/H/R wheel speed sensor which I have just renewed, but without sorting out the fault code. So I have just...

    722.9 box oil and filter change yesterday

    Bought a 2007 car secondhand E class wagon 320 CDI V6 with 25 K on the odometer from Jersey a few years ago. Car had just been serviced and had had the Auto box oil and filter changed too before I collected it. All by the Jersey main dealer. The car was from a friend. During the next engine oil...

    Here's a weird one

    2007 211 E class estate 320 CDI. Last used the car a week ago and all was good with no issues. Started it today and as I drove off an ABS warning message and illuminated yellow triangle came up on the dash. Also the steering feels a little heavier than before. Questions are, is the ABS and...

    Which gearbox have I got please. 2007 320 CDI 211 E Class Estate

    As per the title I'm struggling to figure out exactly which auto box I have. There is no dip stick. I'm leaning towards 722.9 box with 7 speeds, and would like to order the correct level tube, bolts and filter. Am I correct? Transmission oil and filter was last changed about 35,000 miles ago by...

    Close

    Nipped into to my local town just now and nearly broadsided a lady who timed her move perfectly for a deathwish. I was travelling along an A road with a junction to my right and an Audi A1 waiting to come onto the road and go in my direction. As she was still waiting and looking my way when I...

    Oil leaks 2007 E class 320 cdi

    Had a bit of a leak and mist over the front of the engine that I feel I need to try to cure. It appears to be coming from a join where a hard plastic canister joins a rubber pipe from the inter cooler and the alloy pipe that leads up to the Garret turbo. The car has a mere 69,000 miles on her. I...

    Help please. 2007 E class 211 wagon Brake fluid renew and bleed

    I've just replaced a section of corroded brake line by joining it to the steel line at the rear beneath the covers. Unfortunately, I cut the line last night in preparation of finishing the job this morning and about 400 mls went into a measuring jug underneath by this morning. Not a problem I...

    Still got issues on 2007 E class estate rear self levelling air suspension.

    A couple of days ago I changed out the rear (non-ADS) air suspension bags. All was good as the car immediately came up and sat correctly, and it drove well without issues until my wife took it to work;). Today the message came up on the Command screen that the car was too low, and right enough...

    Different types of suspension in 211 wagons

    I have an issue with my rear self levelling air suspension and need some clarity on why my 2007 Elegance estate car might be so different to the other trim specced estate cars that the Arnott spring conversion set up won't work. C-3080 Arnott Rear Coil Conversion Kit - 02-09 Mercedes-Benz...

    211 Wagon 2007 E class rear air suspension down.

    My low mileage (71,000 miles) Estate car appears to have lost pressure as the tops of the wheels are now within the arches. A message with a picture came up 50 miles from home stating 'Malfunction'. Picture of a car with arrow pointing up below car. The message wasn't in red similar to the time...

    Occasional hesitation on drawing away when cold 2007 320 CDI E class wagon

    I've managed to avoid any garage visits for the last 60,000 miles by doing the necessary oil, filter and suspension work to date, but have an issue that occasionally occurs before the engine is fully up to temperature. It is the V6 engine by the way. I don't hammer the engine before it's fully...

    Brake pipe renewal. Front to back on 211. Advice please.

    It is a 2007 E class 320 cdi estate. The longest pipe is heavily corroded at the rear O/S and needs replaced. I have taken off the covers and see that it is only the last two feet of pipe that has any corrosion. The rest is as new but appears to be one piece from the flexi-hose at the rear...

    Power steering fluid for a 2007 E class estate

    Just done an oil and filter change and noticed the Power steering fluid was on the lowest mark on the dip stick. I can see no indication in my owners manual or in the engine bay which fluid to use to top up. Any pointers please as I don't want to use something incompatible and my nearest dealer...

    2007 211 E Class Estate door mirror indicator replacement

    Hi, I'm struggling to figure out how to replace a cracked indicator lamp set into the nearside door mirror. I am worried about forcing the glass out as it feels as if it will break, and all the youtube videos appear to cover other models with differing wing mirrors. Any ideas please...

    Broken spring on 211 E class estate

    A front spring broke while the car was sitting and had not been used for four days leaving the O/S wheel almost touching the inner wheel arch liner. 49,898 miles. Strangely a BMW 3 series of the wifes did exactly the same thing a couple of years ago. I wonder why they break while they are not...

    2007 211 E Class Estate door mirror indicator replacement

    My mirror indicator strip was cracked under the care of the first owner and now has unpleasant green growths within the lens. I have spent about 2 hours trolling through youtube and this site trying to find out how to disassemble the plastic outer housing to allow the replacement of the...
