I thought I'd post this as i couldn't find much on the internet. I mentioned to my wife the other week that the Viano a/c was working well still after i replaced the condenser and the compressor 4.5yrs ago, along with one electric fan and for good measure whilst i was there put a new radiator...

Bit of an issue with my tailgate on Saturday, I opened with the key but stopped it with the key when it was half way, then it wouldn’t shut, just kept opening as it tried to latch, few up and downs and eventually it shut but didn’t sound right as the latch did whirrr and pull down as it would...

Hi i've just had the recall to update the software on my Viano, it's a 2014 not adblue engine with 330000miles. Needless to say I'm not especially keen to get it done as it is most likely, in my opinion, to affect the performance or mpg, like most emmission related things it s a compromise...

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced tool which can successfully calibrate the Airmatic on my R class? I bought icarsoft MB3 but it turns out this can't calibrate despite the supplier confirming it could. I've also seen loads of clips and details of how it's done. mostly they don't make any...

I have had a small leak on the left front, noticeable after a few days standing and noted in previous service history, checked the airbag and couldn't see any leaks, when checking the top of the strut i did manage to knock the air pipe out very easily and this needs cutting off and refitting...

My R Class is suffering with occasional random false alarms, now I can see a lot of talk about the most common cause is the siren unit itself, is there any tell tell signs this is the case or is there any other likely causes, the car has recently had new battery but still the random alarms...

Hi I have been experiencing occasional loss of power, only done it twice, both times on start up or maybe just after, no warning lamps, engine running smooth etc. so the plan is to hook my diagnostic tool up and take some readings next time it does it, I believe it may be the turbo or actuator...

So, a while back my Viano started to smell diesely and one of the injectors was blowing by, so I decided to have all replaced as the mileage is 327000, it ran much better, smoother pickup and more power plus better mpg, well worth it then? Well, maybe not as it has just failed mot on high...

So I have had my R350cdi for around 4 months now and have sorted out a few issues, including seat belt buckle with faulty wiring on the switch, broken cable in the drivers door preventing locking and unlocking of the door using the switch, faulty anti pinch strips on the tailgate which prevented...

On my R class the door lock/unlock switch doesn't work on the drivers side, its not the switch, anyone had this issue? I intend to take the door lining off and i'm sure it will be a damaged ribbon cable or something.

I wish to retrofit a reverse camera to my R Class, has anyone done this? I was wandering if the camera lead is fitted to all wiring harnesses which would save me a job of feeding the cable through.

Hi Recently purchased a 2011 R class 350cdi, ideal people carrier and a complements the Viano nicely, now the car had a couple of issues and I have to admit it is nowhere near as well built as the outgoing Jaguar XJ8 or for that matter our old C class we had years ago, but it is an interesting...

So I was just thinking about the engine in my Viano which has done 321,000miles and as far as I can see has had no work done on it, apart from ancillaries like water pump, alternator and recently an a/c compressor, it runs sweet enough but is probably a bit down on power compared to my Vito with...

Hi, a few year ago I had a 2010 Vito sport which developed some steering noise when turning at low speeds, at the time it was a company van and went in to be fixed and they spent ages looking for the issue, saying in the end it was a dry joint that needed lubricating and they found this by...

Hi Well I have just purchased a Viano, with the need for more seats and some luggage space, I found a bit of a bargain in a 2014 Viano 2.2, albeit with 315000miles on the clock, so it is really clean but has a couple of issues, most of which are already fixed including blocked rear washer...

Hi Not been here for years, sold my trusty rusty C230k 3years ago, still drive a Mercedes Vito for the last 4 1/2 years, now looking to buy an R class, now there are many 6 seaters out there but I need 7, has anyone converted one, I was thinking I might need a full middle row of seats from a...

Does anyone have a recent link to the russian parts site? Mine isn't working, or maybe the site is down?

Hi All Not posted for a while, been busy moving house, C230K estate has developed a really bad squeek from back suspension, will be having a look tomorrow whilst fitting new brake pads to front, any one experienced this on the 202? I'm sure i can find it but any pointers will help as driving to...

i am thinking of buying a 2004 E class diesel, as i do my own servicing i was wandering if these cars have an oil drain plug? or will i have to purchase a pump to extract to oil? also am i able to reset the service indicator ( as i can on my c class) or is there a need for a special tool? i was...
