Hi folks - any common areas to look at? Boot seal looks OK - no obvious signs where water is getting in but it sure is. Thought I'd ask first rather than remove all interior trim and get in boot with torch and ask wife to fire garden hose at it - she might drive straight to nearest scrap yard...

Had a few gremlins with 4-zone auto climate control so thought maybe the temp sensor needs a clean/dust. Assumed it would be behind the little black plastic mesh fitting in the dash to left of steering wheel. When I removed this there was nothing there. I was expecting to see some sensor and...

Had a couple of instances of low voltage (can't use demister, heated seats etc) so been checking voltage at battery using my multimeter or the dash display. Sometimes first thing its reading 11.8-12.5v. When engine running it hovers around 13.8 - 14.00. Battery is a good Bosch unit about a...

Nearly a year in to ownership and quite frankly by far best car I have ever owned. Especially as recently had exhaust resonator removed so now sounds amazing. Only niggle is I feel a vibration when sat at lights in neutral and there has always been a slight feeling of what I can only describe...

So I decided to replace the radiator on my lovely CLS500 - merely as a precaution. Its nearly 10 years old and means the auto cooler will also be new. I've been in the heat exchange game for well over 30 years and cut my teeth fitting and repairing rads so no bother I thought. Obviously I know...

I need to add a litre of engine oil and whoever filled in last service details was not the best writer. It looks like 0-30 MB. Is it likely this grade of oil was used? Just want to top up with same grade. Car had done 76k. Can't find details of suitable grades in documents I have. Cheers

Hi - trying to identify whining/whistling noise from front of engine so was planning to remove belt and spin the various pulley's - see if any are noisy or sounding rough. What is correct procedure? Would imagine either idler pulley or tensioner but need advice. Mucho appreciated :thumb:

Starting to work my way through a few electrical glitches so that everything works as it should.:wallbash: The symbols on my headlight switch are not illuminated - guessing they should be. Are these the tiny bulbs inside the switch that have failed? Glove box light does not operate - bulb is...

My 2005 CLS500 has (I think) v4.1 CD in Sat Nav box in boot. What route to up-date to current maps? If its a fortune I will just stick to using phone app for all the times I use it.

As title, looking for reputable independent in Glasgow area. I do most stuff myself or use a garage that I have used for 20 years but there are some jobs I would rather entrust to folk who know Mercs. I work near Glasgow centre and live out to East. Thanks

Hi - any idea why red warning light and the light on bottom of my driver door have packed in? Bulbs are good - just no power. Car has done 76k and is a 2005. Broken wire somewhere? Just wondered if its a common problem. Door contact switch is activating interior lights.

Hi all Now in to week 3 of CLS500 ownership and totally loving it. Can anyone shed light on the source of weird whirring/motor noise that seems to emit from somewhere behind dash or drivers foot-well area? Its not constant and seems to be steering wheel position related. Could there be any...

Hi All - first post for some years - now back in a Merc;) Had my CLS500 for 3 weeks now - all good so far. It is fully specced and options sheet lists a DAB radio but I'm buggered if I can find it in the menu to operate it- any help? Also, I can get system to recognise my I-phone to connect...

Hi Windscreen washer pump not working on my 2004 CLK. I've had the pump off and it works when connected to the headlamp washer connecter wire but there seems to be no current at it's connector. Checked fuse diagram and it just says "Electronic" against it. Anyone know what this means? Is there a...
