    Glow plug light

    I was under the impression that if the glow plug blinks it indicates a glow plug issue but if it remains on for a certain time it is the glowplug relay-I'm sure somebody with more experience than I will be along shortly.......The correct relay can be brought on Ebay for around £130.

    Front wheel bearing.

    Thank you for your answer. Going by your response would i be right to assume all Mercedes passenger vehicles of this era (2008 RWD-not SUV et all) employ the same method?

    Front wheel bearing.

    2008 CLS 320Cdi I have seen various topics and videos regarding the correct set up for these bearings regarding endfloat varying between 0.01-0.02mm (with a DTi set-up) or 1/16 of a turn loose from the nut seating-these are general mercedes videos/comments but none are specifically for my car. I...

    Whine on over run.

    Morning. Thank you for your response. That was my 1st thought too and a relatively cheap and easy fix!-Do you know what viscosity is used and quantity required please? Would a propshaft bearing make a similar noise?

    W219 CLS Xenon problems

    Having completed this job last winter can you confirm you have definitely fitted them correctly? They are not the easiest items to fit BUT can still work for a time if you fit them wrongly. Obviously you need to be a contortionist to start with but I did find it took several attempts to fit...

    CLS W219 camber issue inner tyre wear

    I had a similar issue at MOT time. The vehicle had 2 new front tyres and a 4 wheel alignment check and adjustment. Not a major issue to reject the car IMHO

    CLS (W219) Mileage/Reliability check-in!!

    The D/S/F Electric window mechanism seems to be a weak point as the window is frameless hence each time you open the door the window opens slightly. Depending if the other doors are used frequently these will follow suit. My drivers door failed after 48,000 miles. I attempted to replace with a...

    Help needed with a few issues on a W219 320CDI

    It may pay you in the long run to connect it to STAR-Mercedes diagnostic system-rather than guessing and spending time and effort on the wrong items.

    You may also have to reset other items like memory seats/door mirrors-not 100% sure-but just be aware of it.

    My first w219 front window regulator replacement

    After reading a forum I brought the cables and plastic wheel from ebay via a 3rd party in the belief that it would be straight forward. After removing it,which took about 45mins and trying to get the correct tension I bit the bullet and brought the proper item. Ended up buying from our local...
