Poly V Serpentine belt snapped on Monday. I have the correct MB belt A002993429664(thanks for the help btw) & have been advised to check all the pulleys to find the cause of the failure. The 1st photo shows the old belt- it looks pretty ancient to me. I cannot find the exact belt diagram for...

VIN number WDB2112202B055872 Can anybody confirm the part number as A0029934296- it's the serpentine belt for the power steering, water pump & alternator. I need to order one in France(in French) on the telephone so would like to be as prepared as possible. Whenever I use the online tools I seem...

I had winter tyres fitted yesterday & shortly afterwards the check brake fluid light came on. Maybe a coincidence or possibly a leak too. I have some MB Multi grade oil MB345 spec part number A 001 989 24 03 13 which I assumed would not be the same but then read that clutch & brake fluid are the...

Sounded horn yesterday & it stopped mid toot. Checked & cleaned connectors to horn today without success. I then discovered the horn fuse had blown(53A) which I then replaced but blew again immediately although I got a muted toot out of the horn. Did I understand correctly that if I disconnect...

Hi all. Had a puncture so have the temporary on. It took a 2m scaffolding pole & all my weight(100kg) behind it to remove the nuts. It's going into a Renault Dealership on Tuesday to have new tyres all around(supplied by me)- fitted & balanced for €60(reasonable for France). So this morning I...

Partners daughter & son in law live in a flat in Lyon with "secure underground" parking(I use the term loosely)accessed with an electronic fob, not only a main front door but each garage has it's own internal door. They are in their mid 20's, work very hard & took delivery of a new VW Polo just...

VIN number WDF63981523223750 Part number for Starter motor needed. Many thanks.

Hi all. I had a problem last year with the Viano not starting when hot. I wondered if it was heat soak as when it cooled down it invariably started. I also read that it could be a poor earth connection. It hasn't been used all Winter so went to take it out of hibernation with a freshly charged...

Hi all. I have had this happen with at least one of my E Classes- I was able to get it open on these occasions & clean the faces(a little lip can form too)& lubricate. However without warning, on pulling the bonnet release the right hand side unlatches but not the left & as a result the little...

I have never seen this before in all my years..............

I'm looking for the part number(Mercedes & Hella if possible) for a Bi Xenon Headlight Ballast for a 2008 W211 Facelift. Many thanks.

As per the title...............

When I got my W211 E280 in August the bulbs were very yellow & hardly illuminated the road at all. First the n/s bulb blew & very shortly afterwards the o/s. Just fitted the new Osram Xenarc D1S bulbs & the o/s is still not working. Presumably the only other thing is the ballast? Just bad luck...

H15 Headlight Bulbs for Cars, Motorcycles & Vans - Main, Dipped & Fog I just used the above link- thanks & it came up with D1S for my W211 Sport with Bi-Xenons, some have said D2S though on the Forum, can anybody just confirm D1S or will both fit before I buy them please? The ones fitted have...

Just had new front springs & top mounts fitted........... all was well & car drove nicely but the garage advised the tracking needed checking due to uneven tyre wear & steering wheel slightly off centre. This was done on a Hunter 4 wheel alignment machine but I noticed that the technician had to...

I popped into the above this morning to try & get a service print out for my car. Very friendly & helpful, the assistant heard me asking another person what I wanted & volunteered to do it. Unfortunately there was only one service shown in 2010 but they spent time locating the supplying dealer &...

I was in the area & thought I'd pop into the Ace Cafe in North West London. Classic Car night is the 2nd Tuesday of the Month but they have many other specialist nights such as German or Italian nights for instance. I used to go up there in my Isetta in the 2000's & on a good Summer night there...

My S211 was built late 2006 & registered in 2008 but the build sheet shows 205B for owners manual & service record-English. I do not have the wallet with them in but is there a cubby hole inside where they could be hidden? I may be imagining it but I think I found my wallet(previous E270)hidden...

Hi. Has anyone by chance got a 2008 Facelift W211 E Class owners, Comand & Audio 20 Manual in the wallet? I have downloaded it online but I'd like a hard copy when I'm in the car. They are about £30 on Ebay. I'm also after a set of Sports Mats for the Estate too. I have attached a photo of what...

Car is a Facelift W211 E280 Sport, I was cleaning the interior yesterday with all the doors open for 4 hours or so. Went to start it & the battery was totally flat. New battery on order but in the meantime I charged it overnight & got it going but the front suspension has collapsed on both...
