My control arm bushing replacement was a great success, the car is much better. Some people would leave it like that - after all, I've made a big improvement, I should be happy - but not me. All I can think of is how much better it might be if I changed everything else... And yes, I know this...

Front lower control arm bush, the big hydraulic ones, need replacing in my X218. I've looked on Autodoc and there are a few options but the only decent make is Meyle HD. These seem to be rubber only and are firmer for better handling. I don't want that, I want OEM comfort. Bushes are available...

I've split several of these whilst doing my control arm bushings. You can get generic ones from GSF or elsewhere online, are they any good? What do people do in this situation? I don't think I can replace the ball joint on the control arm without a whole new arm.

I don't drive in London except occasionally to Heathrow, at which point I'm either on expenses or I'm spending so much on a holiday that £25 is a drop in the ocean. But I'm wondering if you could retrofit SCR to an engine such as the OM651 250 CDI in my CLS estate. It's late 2013 and...

I have a 2013 CLS estate with the standard sound system and Command 4.5, and I am considering a subwoofer to round out the music at normal listening levels - not going for eardrum bursting bass. The Harmon Kardon system comes with a subwoofer that is shaped to fit into the spare wheel well...

I have a 2013 AMG Sport CLS with the two bar grille. I like the one from 2014 on with the stars/diamond pattern. They are available on eBay. Is it a straight swap?

I drove to Nottingham and back on Friday and on much of the M5 and M42 the road surface is rough. On anything other than completely smooth roads I could feel the grain of the road surface through the steering wheel, and the edges of every imperfection. My car is a 2013 CLS with 18" wheels and...

It's a CLS 250 with OM651 4 cylinder engine. I've been hearing a bit of a shudder on start/stop operation since I had it, so I've been looking around the engine and I noticed that the engine cover was vibrating a lot on the left. Turns out that grommet on the left hand side isn't actually...

Hi, I've got a CLS 250 CDI shooting brake from 2013. It is listed as AMG sport on the V5. I think the shocks are old, they look as old as the rest of the chassis. They also feel like they could do with a refresh. I couldn't get the part numbers on the current shocks to match with anything...

The B pillar creaks when the car chassis twists over bumps, and the plastic surrounding the adjustable seatbelt thingy is the worst part. I could just spray loads of silicone in there but I think I'd like to do a better job. How easy is it to remove the B pillar? Do they just pop off or is...

My car is a 2013 CLS 250 CDI and there appears to be a crack in the hard plastic pipe going into the throttle body. A common problem according to the dealer which is why they had the part in stock. Anyway I think I have to remove the whole EGR valve assembly to access the bolts to remove the...

On my black non-metallic (obsidian black?) 2013 CLS SB there are a fair few scratches on the rear bumper as you'd expect. Some are clearly very light, a couple are enough to feel with a fingernail, and there's a couple of tiny spots that are gouged up and there's a bit of plastic that's proud...

I've got 19" staggered wheels on my CLS and whilst they look good they are too rough and really quite noisy. It's a high frequency noise rather than low roar, and it seems to be the actual noise the tyres are making rather than vibrations resonating, as the same sound is really loud if I open...

Forgive me if this is already covered but I've searched a lot and this is all rather specific. As per my other thread I've recently got a 2013 CLS 250 with 86k miles, and I'm not sure if it's got transmission problems, or will do soon. I was expecting a Mercedes to be very smooth and it's not...

Hi folks, just bought my first MB and as always I can't resist tinkering. For reasons I won't bore you with our old car crapped out the Sunday night before we were due to go on holiday on Monday. That was the last straw with it so I went to a car supermarket looking for anything with a towbar...
