    What's done during a W211 service A' ?

    I'd recommend checking the turbo seals whilst he is at it, they are notorious for splitting and allowing oil into the inlet port shutoff motor, I check mine regularly and change it after each service.

    W211 Alarm Siren.

    Cheers guys, might do mine as I don't have the mirrors folding in on locking generally anymore and it would be better to know it has locked.

    Car Mat Sets (W211 - E320 Sport - 2009)

    Why not just order the proper Mercedes ones? (If they still stock them), I've got the proper W211 sports ones in mine and a genuine set of rubber ones (in the car at the moment) and neither were particularly expensive and they are really durable.

    Love the Mustang personally, I did approx. 1000 miles in one through Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas last year. I'm keeping an eye on prices and hope to get one when they've come down in price a bit, it HAS to be the V8 though.

    2006 facelift E 320CDi v6 limp mode

    Yes exactly the same thing happened in my case, I put my foot down to accelerate hard and the car gave up and felt like it had 50bhp. The turbo seals become lose or wear and allow oil to seep out and cause the EGR port shutoff motor to cease which puts the car into limp mode. Its therefore a...
