    ABS BAS ESP warning display

    Hi guys, Yep, its another ABS/ESP/BAS topic! Background - Mercedes S500 (2004) Around 6 weeks ago I went through a deep puddle and the ABS/ESP/BAS visit workshop was displayed. After reading the website I deduced a brake switch problem. I changed the brake switch and everything worked fine...

    W208 stuck in park - but now works!

    I think so too. The brakes were working normally when I first started it up. They squealed a bit when I fist applied the brakes (I expected this as its been stood so long) But after about ten minutes, the pedal stopped coming back up all the way. It would stick an inch or so down. This got...

    W208 stuck in park - but now works!

    You beat me to it David, Yep, you are correct. I am having trouble with the brakes as well. Do you think that was the underlying cause of the sticking in Park problem? I was thinking I might need a new gearbox or something horrible!

    Brakes sticking on

    After parking up my W208 for 3 months I took it out yesterday and the brakes were fine. Then after about ten minutes I noticed the brake pedal wasnt coming all the way back up and the pads were squealing as I drove. It got progressively worse over the next ten minutes and the brake pedal wasnt...

    W208 stuck in park - but now works!

    My W208 has been parked up for almost 3 months. The battery went flat so I charged it up and took it out for a spin and to get it all warmed up. I stopped and put it in Park. I was sat there with the engine still running for about 5 minutes then went to put it into Drive and it wouldnt budge...

    W208 changing steering wheel - airbag

    Thanks guys, Its a swap from another W208 of the same year thats been in an accident and the airbag went off. The steering wheel itself is perfect. The wiring - are they 'plug and go' or is there any undoing of terminals etc etc..I need to watch out for?

    W208 changing steering wheel - airbag

    I've found a steering wheel to replace my worn one. Only problem is, it has no airbag....the airbag went off. Can I use my airbag and pop it into the replacement steering wheel? I'm sure I heard the airbag is a separate unit that can be lifted out whole and intact??? Its the command steering...

    lag on accelerator????

    Thanks for the quick reply Black55, I've just had the oil changed in the gearbox a couple of weeks ago - http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/90782-gearbox-problem-w208-clk.html What is the air mass sensor and what does it do? I had it serviced a couple of months ago at the same garage...

    lag on accelerator????

    Got a new problem cropped up.....! I was sat the traffic lights and realised I was in the wrong lane. When the lights changed to green I floored it to get into the correct lane. I then slowed to a normal driving speed. Now the problem - when I press the accelerator, the car doesnt respond...

    M60 joining the M56

    OP, you're not alone. It happens every minute of every day. That junction has no cameras (M60 onto M56) Its a death trap. Cars speed up to join the carriagway and cars slow to get off the carriageway. I've complained countless times. You have cars coming from Princess Parkway trying to exit at...

    MB World urgent. "one man, one engine"

    If this car exists it should be relatively straight forward to track it down. Alex has confirmed the car exists and seems to be aware of the details (broken leg etc...) This leads me to think he has contacts with MB Now lets say Alex wanted to confirm the car he was looking at was the 'real...

    Cheers jaymanek, Booked in for Monday for gearbox oil change. And they'll let me know what the levels are like before they change it. Price was a lot less than I thought....£70.00 including filter, fluid and labour.

    Air con - not working

    What happens to it when you dont use it? I was thinking of taking it one of the Kwik Fit type places. I'm sure a special offer for aircon 'servicing'.....just not quite sure what they'd do to 'service' the air con???

    Air con - not working

    Sorry guys, should have explained... Was pushing buttons randomly just to see if they lit up. Everything appears normal on the dash side of things (i.e. eveything is working and nothing wrong with any of the instruments) Just no air-con!
