I could be wrong but I think caps are made of ally alloy, nearly every other part is steel of some description and also a moving part guess the oil settling on the caps turns them that kind of orangey brown, bit like nicotine stained fingers in old days before ciggy filters. You can usually see...

And my 722.6 Trans started acting up at 225k; did a valve body refurb using Sonnax valve body repair kit and new conductor plate. As others have said start with simple and cheapest things , Check oil level and also oil contamination of electric connector plug, then Trans oil/filter change. Most...

Have you tried disconneting the battery for 15-20 mins and then reconnecting? wont always work but its a cheap first move. I had an Icarsoft MB 2.0 and it read my S211 transmission? Now have an Xtool A30M which is Bi-Directional does most of icarsoft does on Benz including actuating air bag...

Cheers guys, Getting old so sometimes I dont remember when it is but been looking at how to change ATF in my 7G Tronic plus box in my new to me 2012 facelift S220cdi and noticed I had messages 👍

Any kind of lubricant on the aux belt is defeating its purpose, it needds friction to drive alternator/AC etc. On my S211 I had a weird vibration thought it was injector misfire or engine related until I lifted the bonnet and could see the aux belt dancing and bouncing around turned out to be...

you hsve snswered your own question. It became hard after a spring change and as previously said spring options on mercs is a minefield, get them from a dealer and you should be back where you started.

Guessing it could be you rim size? from a quick search rims are from 17-22": so aspect ratio and width go up accordingly, each rim increase gives a slightly firmer ride from the previous one. 10yrs back I had a W163 with 17" rims and it was pretty plush but road surfaces have got worse since then.

Hi, replaced air bags on rear of my s211 2008 everything seemed to go ok but car wouldnt fill air springs. used my got hold of an XTOOL A30M and have now gone through the fill procedure for both sides which seems to be ok but I have a query: the settings available are 1) wake-up which I get as...

Hoping to get set of rear shocks for my 2008 estate and spotted a pair of Monroes spectrum at a good price. But Monrose site has 2 variations and the only appears to be stroke length one is 320 mm the other 331mm have asked factor if they will fit and gave my reg but they now want OE part no...

I would disconnect the battery for 15mins to reset the transmission and and see how it reacts from then but if you cant confirm if a trans flush has been done get it done soon. Then should do a full reset of the gearbox adaptions and allow it to relearn.

ChrisHGTV has covered most of what I would have said so heres hoping its an airline leak and good luck with your chemo.

Have you had it looked at? do you have airmatic or just self levelling rear?

Got a similar problem on my 2008 220CDI Estate with 220K. Been looking at chinese bags on ebay, looks like just under £200 for a pair I am going to fit myself but you could ask a local garage to fit or indie? Probably worth replacing dampers at same time due to age/mileage. Merc replacements...

My old s210 had an erratic start problem, would start drive but when stopped wouldn't start unless at least 30 min wait and got progressively worse, which was cured by new crank sensor. And as you said pretty cheap to buy.

Think they were only mentioned as a viable Star alternative to the OP's original indie

you may get away with a tranny oil flush has anyone checked the transmission oil level?

you could possibly have a conductor or connector sleeve plate issue but without codes from a good scanner or a Star scanner you ar peeing in the wind.

I have a W211 E220Cdi estate on a 58 plate with 216k, car was driving ok one day next day changes felt a bit strange and then next day after driving a little bit lost drive, felt like it was in neutral. Switching off/on ignition gave a brief normality, but soon returned to no/very little drive...

Great you got it fixed and good to know about the great service you got at Terry's.
