    Radiator fans running all of the time

    Hello, on my E270, today I've noticed the radiator fans are running constantly after start. This happens with air con and all heating off. Engine temp is normal, coolant level is normal. I've scanned for fault codes, everything is ok. Any suggestions? Perhaps the fan temp sender is faulty...

    S211 Cruise Control

    I've never seen these yellow segments ever before, a web search doesn't bring anything up. Does anyone here know what this means? Cruise control appears to be working normally, but just the segments appear different with the addition of the yellow segments.

    Identifying an MOT station

    Does anyone have access if I give them a registration number to the test station who performed the last MOT on a car? I'd love to buy my old car back from years ago and wondered if I knew the station, then perhaps they could pass a message on. Thanks.

    S211 Rear Air Suspension

    Right, I've the dreaded rear suspension fault. My Estate rear end is on the bump stops, I'm assuming an air supply issue such as a single pipe to a manifold from the pump? I could hear the pump running, so it's trying. I'm not familiar with the lay out and where the pipes run. Could someone...

    Gearbox shifting issues.

    With my 5G tronic (722.6) for a little while now gear change when cold could be a bit sharp with the occasional groan. If the road is clear enough I can give it some brisk acceleration and it shifts fine with no groan. Sometimes the occasional judder. I did the gear box reset once and it worked...

    S211 Front brakes

    Hello, silly question inbound. I'm just inspecting some parts so need to ask a silly question, as I can't remember. Regarding the front brake caliper carrier bolts. Is the thread in the carrier? I.e, the steering knuckle/casting will have clearance holes, but the threads screw into the carrier...

    Dartford Crossing

    Should be simple. How do I check if I need to pay? I can only find a 'check which ones you've paid for after you've paid' but I can't find out if I need to?

    2010 C220 parking sensors

    A friend of mine as a parktronic fault with his 2010 C220 Blue efficiency. I've read the codes and it says sensor 7 is faulty, but which sensor is sensor 7? There are ways we could find out, such as unplugging sensors to see if we generate another, but for now it would help if someone here...

    Wobble at speed

    Hi all. So my S211 early on would have a slight wobble at speed, say 50 mph plus. When I replaced one of the large lower ball joints, the wobble went, presumably a nice new tight ball joint dampened the effects. The wobble is back but is getting worse. Its very noticeable through the steering...

    S211 knocking when braking and going over bumps

    This should be an obvious one, even for me... I've done control arms before, but it's been a while since I've worked on a rear wheel drive and the set up. It feels and sounds as if it's coming from the front left, a mild click to knock when braking to a knock/clunk when going over speed bumps...

    Oil Level - How level does the car need to be?

    So, on my S211 E270, the oil level reads 6.2l on the dash when on the drive. My drive has a slight downward slope, this slope has never made any difference to the dipstick level on the Golf. I know this as if I park the Golf at the side of the garage which is level flat, the level on the...
