Update: The leak was from the fuel filter housing which is a very well known issue with this model E-class. Didn’t realise the leak could be so big to result in such dramatic rate of coolant loss. Anyway, the housing was replaced and everything looks perfect after a pressure test. Thanks...

Thanks, at the massive rate it's losing coolant, it cannot be a small leak. It's probably either a faulty EGR cooler or the dreaded head gasket. Left it at the garage, will see how it goes.

The car is going to the shop first thing tomorrow. If it’s the head gasket, how come the temp never went above the usual 90? Is that possible?

Yeah, maybe not absolutely flat but not steep incline at all.

You mean full beyond normal?

Does this look normal?

Makes sense, but if temp sensor is not touching the coolant, then how did it normally come all the way to 90 and stayed there like always? And how did I not get the low coolant level warning earlier?

Didn’t see anything immediately noticeable, although not a thorough inspection. Just wondering how can the system be out of 2.8 litres of coolant and still keep the engine at normal temperature?

Hi all, I saw the message “Top-up Coolant…” on my 2013 S212 220 CDi a couple of days ago and today it took a whopping 2.8L of coolant to get it back to the normal level! The message showed up a few years ago as well and it only took about 250ml to get it back to normal. I’m surprised how the...

Hi all, Since a few months ago the rear left suspension couldn’t hold the height for more than a half a day, but when I started the car it could just raise the vehicle to normal height, it also happened to the left front side a few times. Earlier today I got a puncture and had to mount the...

Nice, if I don't want a courtesy car I can bring the car in a morning and wait until it's done, right?

Thanks a lot. I will call later to book the service, you have availability in about a month, right?

Thank you for the detail. That’s exactly why I’m confused because the mileage is now around 92k while the gearbox oil is normally due to be changed around 77k or 5 years (if I’m not making a mistake). The gearbox oil has indeed been changed at 77k, so regardless of the fact that the car doesn’t...

My 2013 S212 is showing me it’s due a Service BD in 30 days. But the the gearbox oil have been changed over a year ago. So what does that mean? Another strange thing is that it was showing it’s due service B7 previously but it changed to BD a while back. Any idea what’s going on?

hi, the Assyst Plus on my 2013 S212 is showing it’s due “Service BD” in 30 days! Initially it was showing B7 but it changed to BD a while back. Searched all over internet and there’s no mention of such thing at all! Anyone seen this before?

Thanks a lot, already booked the car with T&M for Tuesday, though the Engine management light turned off by itself! Read the manual and it says you don't need to get it checked if the light turns off. Suggestions?

Thanks again, can't find Olly's contact details online, though I guess he's down in Southampton which is quite a distance especially if I have to leave the car there. I double checked the warranty cover and couldn't find anything about "Mobilo" in there. The car has indeed full dealer history...

Thanks Will, I'll get in touch with them. Which one do you think has a better availability? Cause I want to sort it asap. And yes the car has warranty, the dealer offered me to collect the car and get it back all the way to Wales to fix it or asked me to find a good garage so they can liaise...

Hi, I'm looking for an excellent Mercedes specialist in Surrey (preferably around Woking/Guildford/Weybridge area). I recently purchased a 2013 W212 and the Engine Management light is on, so it needs to be checked asap. Thanks in advance.

So what is Service BF?
