Hi all, I'm about to change my W204 with Comand, and ideally I'd like to be able to export the addresses from the SatNav. is this possible ?

Hi all, My daughter has managed to snap the little lever on the rear air vent (between drivers and passengers seats). Something has snapped (come off) and there's a piece moving around inside. I've been looking for instructions on how to remove the air vent unit so I can see if the piece has...

When I was in my local dealer on Friday for a couple of new tyres, I was told about a new "service campaign" for my s204 that I've had from new. Advised work needs doing ASAP, no mention of risk, only that it relates to either injector loom or harness. Any ideas? This is not the 'other'...

All, MB seem to have two variants of grill ... One with the (large) star in the grill, and a flat badge on the bonnet, and another with the 'standy up' badge (there has to be a better name for it than that?). I'm looking at - 2012 E Class Sport (probably E350), but I don't like the grill (with...

Hi all, I popped along to Audi, BMW and MB today to look at the successor to the C250 Sport I've had for 2 years. Aside from being sent to sleep in Audi (although the A7 is a nice looking car) and ignored because I seemingly wasn't Chav enough in BMW (although the wife liked the X6 and 5GT)...

Hi all, Does anyone have a list of any refreshes to the C or E Class lineup over the next 12 / 18 months ? C Class has had a refresh not so long ago, so I expect this to stay for the next 2 years maybe, but E Class has been left behind, and appears to be in need of a facelift to match the C...

I have a 59 plate C250 (pre-facelift), and was under the impression that I have 5 manual gears and 6 auto gears. If this is correct, how come the following happens? If I put the car in manual mode, I can manually select 1 thru 5 sequentially. I'm good with this. If I put the car in auto...

All, Autoglas have replaced my W204 Windscreen a few weeks ago. Almost immeadiately I noticed that whilst looking through the passenger side, the scenery had a "rippling" effect; as if looking through a thin film of water. The result was that the scenary etc was distored whilst driving - the...

My 2 year old C250 went into the dealer today for a B service, plus some warranty work (drivers door handle has broken, passenger side wing mirror opens with a horrible creaking noise). Seems that there's always something wrong with this car (after the infamous injector problem that caused me...

My car was due a service in some 300 miles on the day that MB magically called me up saying "their records show my car is due for a service". Car duely booked in for Oct 3rd (they're busy), but due to an expected journey, my car is now *overdue* the service according to the ASSYST. Does...

After multiple journeys up and down the M1 / M25 I've picked up two corking chips in the windscreen .. one in the drivers line of sight, so I need a new windscreen. Contacted AutoGlass (as good as any I expect) who asked a question I've never been asked before .. "does the car have auto...

Yesterday I popped into my MK MB dealership after my C250 BE kindly advised me that the MD of the dealership needed to go on holiday and needed my cash, sorry, I meant to say that my brakes needed checking. Car has done 28k miles from new, and dealer advised that it needed new front pads and...

I almost never turn my aircon/cc OFF, its on maybe 99% of the time. I much prefer the air "quality" inside the car with the aircon/cc on, it tends to get "stuffy" with it turned off (unless the windows are down of course). So I've done 20k+ miles since new with the aircon on for 99% of that...

Is there a "tips and tricks" thread somewhere on here, specifically for the W204, but if not that, then a general one would be fine. Looking for stuff that either is in the owners manual but easy missed, or stuff that's simply not documented. During this hot weather I've been stressing trying...

Hello, Not a Benz related question, but someone here is bound to know the answer. I'm going to be selling my fathers car which has a private plate on the vehicle. If I place the private registration on retention, how do I go about getting a "normal" registration mark back on the car ? I know...

Why is the the only forum where ... Members pics are not adorned by wannabe porn stars draped all over the bonnet? I've been a member of various car forums over the years, and without exception, all have members going to Fast Ford-esk events, where ladies seem to can't wait to jump on your...

All, I'm looking at getting one of these Bluetooth OBD2 adapters, feeding an Android piece of software (Torque for Android)) for my C250 S204. Reason ? No reason other than out of interest. I've read lots so far, but one thing I've not found out yet is if the OBD2 port on the S/W204 is 16pin...

Folks, I'm in need of a couple of 255x35x18's for the rear of my C250 Sport. Currently have Continental Sport 3's on there ..... have been happy with those, and got 20k on them (first time I've ever hit 20k on any tyres). Ringing around my local tyre dealers I'm struggling to get Conti's ...

All, I'm just 14 months into a 36 month Agility contract. I paid a deposit of some £4k for the car. When I hand the car back, there's a "future guaranteed value". If I want another (MB) car, I'm told I can use (if any) equity in this current car as deposit. Does the Agility plan, try to...

All, I guess the only answer here is to pop along to my friendly dealer, but incase I've lost a few IQ points overnight, I want to just check I've not done something silly. Without any obvious incident, my C250's ILS has stopped working. I've checked the most obvious, that the setting is...
