    Mercedes Mobilo rant

    Last Saturday was the first and only time I have ever used the Mercedes Mobile service and blimey, did they let me down big time... Got a puncture (as indicated by the tyre pressure monitor), tried putting more air in (I have a portable air compressor) but it lost the air again quickly, managed...

    A2 service for 2020 E400d

    Hi, Could anyone let me know what the cost of an A2 service for a 2020 E400d would cost? Are they fixed costs? I've gone online but it only quotes "A" service not specifically A1 or A2. Thanks in advance.

    How long do (used) cars stay on sale?

    OK, so I know its a broad question, but I was wondering how quickly dealer's like to move cars on? (Apart from the obvious "as soon as possible") I'm trying to establish how long (main) dealers like their cars to stick around for. Of course I understand there's no hard rule and some cars will...

    Two (simultaneous) bluetooth audio connections on W213

    Hi all, Does anyone know if it's possible to connect two simultaneous bluetooth devices to a W213? (Connect and listen to both). Some devices do allow this, but I wasn't sure if a 2020 W213 could do this or if it's only one at a time? Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

    E400d to E63

    Hi all, Currently have a 2020 E400d (which I love) and am toying with changing to an E63. Have seen a nice 2018 model and am thinking of trading mine in. Both have circa 30,000 miles. I was wondering what E63 owners thought of their cars and also recall reading a thread about E63 engine issues...

    E63 type rear diffusor on E400d

    Hi all, I'm interested in having the E63 type rear diffusor on my (2020 W213) E400d. I can see there are aftermarket parts or maybe genuine MB parts. Has anyone done this before? Anywhere in the UK that would do this? Any idea of costs (aftermarket or genuine)? Thanks. (Please don't reply...

    W213 E400d 4matic using oil

    Hi all, Following a previous post asking about engine oil for a W213 E400d 4matic I eventually purchased 1L from Mercedes after it said it needed 1L on the dash. I've been following the indicator closely and it's already heading down the electronic dipstick to the point where it's nearly at...

    Switched 12v supply in front of vehicle

    Hi all, On the W213 is there anywhere in the front I can get a switched 12v for dashcam? Or do I have to run it from the fuse box in the back? Thanks.

    E400d 4MATIC oil question

    Hi all, My E400d 4MATIC W213 says it needs an extra 1L of oil, but I don't know what would have been put in it and I'm concerned about which oil to add. The manual says 229.52 and I can't get ahold of a genuine MB 229.52 can of oil, so I need to add 1L before a long journey on Monday...

    E400d W213 Oil Dipstick?

    Hi all, The electronic dipstick on my E400d W213 is showing that the oil level looks low (it is still saying OK) but looks low on the screen, so I was going to check it the old-fashioned way (level, cold vehicle, then check dipstick), but I cannot find a dipstick in the engine bay! I checked...

    Distronic Retrofit E400d W213

    Oh no, it's another retrofit post! Firstly, would it be possible to kindly (and politely) request that anyone that's going to post "Don't bother, it's too expensive, just buy a different car, etc, etc..." please do not bother replying to the post? Thank you. As a technically-minded person, I...

    E400d boot unswitched 12v supply

    Hi all, Good to be back after a short absence (had a mid life crisis and bought a Mustang!). Just taken possession of a E400d (W213 I believe) and I'm looking for an unswitched 12v power supply in the boot (for a tracker), is there a place I can tap into in the boot? I haven't had a good look...

    Checking oil on W213 E350d (2016)

    Hi all, I have a 2016 E350d W213. Yesterday a message popped up saying something along the lines of 'Oil low, top up engine oil'. I wanted to check the oil level but have no dipstick. I googled and saw that it should be in the 'Service' section of the display, but it isn't. The only other...

    Dashcam switched power on W213

    Hi all, I've purchased a nextbase 213GW (mixed results so far) and need to wire it in permanently. I need a switched feed from somewhere, the obvious starting point is somewhere in the rear view mirror enclosure. Question is, is there a suitable switched 12v in there? Power requirements are...

    Satnav/GPS way out

    Hi all, Recently the GPS location on the satnav is way off, putting me in Germany most of the time, though it is completely random. Is there a reset or anything I can do, or does it need to go back to MB? It's a E350d W213 2017 with the split screen, half digital half analogue, not sure if...

    Squeaky wheels on E350d (W123 2017)

    Hello, My E350d has developed a squeaky drivers wheel, happens when turning the wheel, even ever so slightly turn of the wheel produces quite a loud squeaky noise, obviously difficult to explain in text. It's only the drivers side that does it. As I've just got it, I should probably take it in...

    Help! Ticking sound, clutch? smell and strange engine behaviour

    Hi there, Picked up my new (used) E350d 2017 (W213) last week. All well until today, drove home from work and stopped to pick something up and noticed a smell from the car, a little like a clutch smell (its auto but...), got back in and continued to drive home. During the rest of the drive, I...

    Adblue? - E350d (W213) 2017

    Ok, this is going to sound really ignorant... Just taken possession of my (second hand) E350d (W213 2017) and when filling up, I noticed there was an adblue filling cap with the diesel one. <ducks when asking> What is adblue?? Obviously I need to fill it up at some stage, but can I do that...

    Another caliper painting thread

    Hi all, Putting aside the potential comments around like "Don't do it", etc... I'm not a boy racer or anything like that, just seen it on other cars and quite liked it (personal preference I guess). I'd quite like to paint the calipers on my car, potentially red, and I'd like to hear comments...
