Wonderful thank you for the responses I have noted the above

Hi, my brother is buying a second hand e220d premium saloon w213 68 plate tomorrow , what are some of the things to look out for when we check this particular car model Thanks

There was no noise at all after the pads and discs were changed but then the noise reappeared around a week later , I drove around 400 miles during that time . I’ve found something strange today , If I turn the wheel slightly just before coming to a full stop there is no grinding sound .

Hi , I have recently changed my front and rear pads and discs on my e220 w213 but I I’m still getting a really annoying grinding/scraping metallic sound literally just before I come to a full stop or when manoeuvring at low speed , for example parking my car , or stopping and starting in slow...

Hi , I have an e class premium plus with 20inch turbine alloys. Went to the tyre shop because my alloy wheels cracked . The guy in the shop is insisting I change the tyres to a thicker size like 275/45/20 to prevent my new alloys from cracking again . My question is will I encounter any...

Just done a full tank and ive managed 420 miles mainly town driving in London with a short 60 mile motorway run. I've calculated and ive achieved 36.72mpg with this full tank. Do these figures sound normal for my e220d?.... its riding on 20inch alloys too

Currently 23k on the clock bought at 17k, mercedes told me it was also serviced at 17k so I've put around 6k on it myself. All tyres have adequate pressure, I've also tried premium fuel with no change

Hi, I've got the e class E220d w213 Facelift and im experiencing very poor fuel economy. Im getting around 350 miles for a full tank driving in town, which is much lower to the preface lift e220d I owned before. The only difference is that this new face lift is running on 20 inch wheels and the...

Hi, Ive just got the E class W213 Facelift and I'm experiencing slow gear changes sometimes. For example going from 1st to second gear sometimes the car holds on past 2000 rpm and same for second to third this happens multiple times during the day when driving the car. Occasionally when I've...

Thanks for the update, that's good to hear the problem is solved. Unfortunately I have no warranty so I will be going to an indy to get the work done. So just instructing them to change the rear shock absorbers should be enough? Because you mentioned shocks and struts

I am sure I have the same problem as you. Heard it slightly at 30k aswell when I got the car but it was very hard to notice so left it, now at 90k it's much louder and frequent, can't bare it anymore. Exactly like mine, it's only on uneven roads I hear the noise and sometimes also when the back...

No still haven't got it sorted , it's a bit worse now aswell. Maybe it's rear shock absorbers that need to be replaced...

Right thanks for the reply....I think I'll try that first, one of the mechanics did mention this part cause its cheap. Ill report back once it's replaced, whether the noise has gone or not.

Hi all , I have this dull knocking sound coming from the rear of my e class w213. It is noticeable only when driving at low speed (5 - 15mph) on rough uneven roads and manholes etc. It's not particularly loud but you'll hear it really well once the radio is off or at really low volume. It...

Oh okay I'm guessing you mean the two at the rear of the car ? Mercedes took out the front two shocks last week cause they were squeaky when driving on road humps. I forgot to mention that I went on a test drive with one of the Mercedes mechanics and it happened whilst he was in the car , but...

I do try my best most of the time but the state of some of these roads in London make it almost impossible

Hi , I have a problem with my E class w213. When driving at speed 30 40 mph + and hitting a manhole or pothole the car tends dramatically jump to one side , which doesn't feel normal. I have changed both front tyres with new ones but problem still exists. Anyone know what it could be ? Thanks
