After 4 and bit years of Mercedes ownership I've decided to move on and go from diesel to electric. My C class coupe was my first Merc and I'm sad to see it go but with my city introducing a £9 a day charge it just doesn't make economic sense. I can lease a Hyundai Kona for the same money as...

I had a remap on my 2014 C220CDi from 172bhp to 210bhp and since this the mpg has has shown very impressive figures, e.g. driven carefully I have 80mpg reported. Does the remap cause optimistic figures to be reported, or does it actually allow the engine to use less fuel for the same performance?

When I bought my 2014 Merc C204 I was trying to find a dashcam that would fit where the rear-view mounting mirror cover was. On Aliexpress, these two were advertised for an E class looked like they would fit as they had the same design as the cover. This is what my cover looks like so you will...

My front parking sensors (2014 C class coupe) occasionally beep and show the 4 red middle LEDs, other times it seems to work ok. Is there anything I can check before getting it booking in for a MB star diagnosis, or are there any free-ish OBDII apps that will give more information?

AFter an own-fault accident with a low wall and a bad scrape down the side of my front bumper, my front parking sensors are not working. They just light up the 4 red centre lights and beep at me. Does this indicate a bad sensor or is there some way to reset it?

Yesterday I did a longish drive (Bristol to Slough) generally at about 70mph apart from a long section of 50mph roadworks and I'm really pleased with 72mpg. Is this good or average for a C/W 204 with the C220d engine? It was using standard Tesco diesel too.

2014 C220 I had a problem a few times today where my Audio 20 unit started constantly skipping forward to next track as if I was holding down the >>| button. I could only stop it by removing the USB stick and re-inserting and then it was OK. If it was a physical problem with the button, it...

I've just bought a Becker Map Pilot off ebay (2015 M054 model) for my C204. Will I be able to update it with the latest firmware & maps for free if it has never been registered, or will I have to pay ££££ anyway as it is a 3 year old unit. I've also seen an upgrade for £25 on ebay where the...

Since this happened to my Dad in his A class... 2007 A Class - Doors won't unlock ...he is paranoid about it happening again as he only does short journeys and the battery rarely gets a good charge. His driveway is away from the house so can't use a C-TEK battery conditioner, so the only...

My dad's A class doors won't unlock, with the plipper or even with the physical key. It can't be the weather as they have had plenty time to defrost. Its a 3 door and the passenger door and boot are also locked shut. Any ideas, apart from opening it with a half-brick?

Hi. I'm considering a remap on a diesel 2014 C204 CDi which should take the power from 170 to ~205bhp. Has anyone else done this and would you recommend it? Any effect on MPG? Reliability? Insurance premium? Thanks

It appears I have a coolant leak from the fuel filter housing (OM651 engine) and am told this is a common problem. Has anyone else had this and how much was the fix? It looks like I need one of these, and its probably not a basic DIY job. Genuine Mercedes-Benz OM651 Water Outlet - Fuel...

I've just had my car serviced at a Mercedes specialist and they said they couldn't find it on the Merc service history system. I have two proofs of service from previous owners so can they be retrospectively added?
