I have a 2012 S212 with an NTG 4.0 and audio 50 unit. It doesn’t stream music and the sat nav is a little antiquated when compared to the likes of google maps etc so I’ve been looking at upgrading to something that will include apple CarPlay. I’ve tried an android unit and whilst it ticked a...

What a difference it makes when the pipe is sealed!! Got the pipe off today, it is a bit of a nightmare to do but got there in the end, whoever had fitted the pipe in the first place had “nicked” the seal when fitting it, god knows how as it’s not that hard to fit properly. New seal on and pipe...

Thanks for the info and part number, I’m guessing that these sit on the plastic ends of the intercooler and inlet pipe work that the rubber hose clips onto, is that correct?

Finally I have got to the bottom of this, ironically whist doing another job on the car. Replacing the NS drl and had the inner arch off, looking at the steering rack I could see it was “wet” my first fear was the rack seals were going. Started looking up from the rack and could see where the...

I presumed it was boost related as it stops when it gets to 2000rpm or when I have a fairly wide throttle opening at low speed. Hiss is the right word for it, and it does appear to be based on the RHS, maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree

A short vid at standstill, you can hear the pressure loss in the background

A bit more info, the car has done 100,000 miles and has full Mercedes service history, I’m new to this engine so just need to get some pointers on where to start looking. My first thought was that it’s a vacuum leak as the noise is constant up to about 2000 rpm when it shuts off, I believe...

2012 E220, from about 900 to 2200 rpm I can hear a constant air leak, almost like a boost leak. Only occurs on light throttle, no smoke or eml, I’ve only had the car a week so don’t know if this is normal. Any suggestions?

Thanks, il drop them a message

I was hoping for late 40’s maybe early 50’s, temp is showing at about 85-90 on the dash. I have a “whooshing” sound from 1200 rpm up to about 2500 and wonder if it’s a vac line or inter cooler hose with a small leak, going to investigate that this afternoon. That said it could be a normal om651...

About a week ago I bought a 2012 E220 SE Executive Estate, it’s done 97,000 miles and is immaculate, the history file that come with the car is impressive. So in a week I’ve racked up about 1200 miles and had a chance to start to form an opinion and also have some questions as well. Pluses -...

I have just bought a 2012 w212, it has a NTG4.0 with an audio50 unit in it I believe. I’m finding it very clunky in its operation, especially handling phone calls and disconnecting the calls, the unit will freeze, show the call as still taking place and then disconnect the phone. Then it will...

Hello, I'm Jason, I've just bought my first Mercedes, a 2012 E220 estate. Currently enjoying finding out all about it, no doubt I will be asking questions in the future and hopefully in time sharing advice and experiences
