Well I'm a fussy git and believe that everything can be repaired so I will strip it down and have a go. I'll keep you all posted with the progress. In the mean time if anyone has any idea on how it's done please let me know.

Hello everyone My car is fitted with a cabin heater for pre heating the car before the engine is warm. I understand that this only works when the outside temperature is below 5 degrees and the switch light next to the cigar socket is not illuminated. My conclusion is that mine is broken...

I have bought a couple of mecrs over the last few years and was wondering why they only ever have one key. Do the previous owners keep them as a souvenir or maybe the first owners are really careless and just lose them all? Do people that buy new cars have a draw full of old car keys? The...

Yes checked the door pins and all seem ok. When I close the doors the loghts go out so I'm assuming the car recognises that the doors are closed. It's almost that the car thinks that the windows have a hand in it and the safety override kicks in to stop it opening Does anybody know how...

Hi Sorry for the late reply. I tried the window normalisation as a first thought but it didn't work. The windows will go up to the closed position, then will drop back down a bit. I think that maybe the sensor that judges the windows hight may have failed. Just wondering if anyone else has...

Hello everyone I have just bought a year 2000 CLK 320 for the wife. It's a beautiful drive and looks and performs amazingly. The only problem is the windows don't go all the way up properly. If I use the auto up it closes then opens a centimetre the only way i can gey it to close is if I...

Hello I have a silver 2002 W210 E320 avant-garde. I'm looking to source a replacement bonnet (flying brick of truck) an offside front wing plus a drivers door as rust is setting in. In know the whole car will just be a pile of rust on my drive in 10 years it's that my car has less than...

My old van was a 111 and I used to get 30-35 fully laden on the motorway. I now have the 116 and with more power I'm still getting the same results.

Has it been badly remapped? Just a thought. Not sure how you would check that either.

Can you send me a private message or register with the forum so I can send you my number. I'll read codes and give you full access to star to help diagnose you fault. Plus a free reset of any current codes after you have fixed it. £20

I would definitely get it on a star machine. I have one and im based in Poole if that's any help. Your car is getting to the millage where the electrical transfer plate in the gear box is due to fail, not a massive job if you are willing to get dirty. I did it on my E320 and my auto vito on my...

I've heard many people have issues with gear box fluid change on mercs. I don't know anyone in York but I would make sure the garage has done the job before. It will require using a star machine to check the fluid temperature before they can check the level. I'd probably bite the bullet and...

Hello. Welcome to the forum.

Good thinking on the car getting confused. I'll look into that. The cold temp booster is auxiliary heating for the cabin during winter months.

Hello I have a 2002 W210 E320 Cdi, it has also been remapped to 250bhp sport 2 years ago. I've been getting some strange performance problems. For about a week the car was really lumpy when cold, once it got to temp it was fine. Then that issue went away and now when it's cold it drives...

Job done, a little awkward on the exhaust side but a huge difference. When I inspected them the os one was missing the bottom bolt completely and the ns one had torn the centre out. No wonder the car was vibrating. Thanks again for your help.
