Hi Appreciate this is quite an old thread but I am also having this issue. On my B Class the reverse lights not along with no ParkTronic. Pretty certain it's sensor(s) related but anyone know how to test which sensor it is? Anyway of doing it without removing the bumpers? I can see the wire...

Hope it goes well...yea please keep us posted. Cheers

Thanks dancyclon. You could be right. The biggest issue for me was at the time things were not so good and it was something I did not need :) Cars been fine since. Also a few days ago someone mentioned to me that they had been told by someone else with a B class that there had been a...

Hi everybody Sorry but I was not getting notifications of post on this thread. Basically Mercedes were actually quite good. Cut a long story short. They gave me a hire car while they repaired the drive shaft. They told me the cost was £750 for the drive shaft and £750 for the labour! But...

They have been helpful so far. I have two friends who have both had very negative experiences with MB. I hope mine ends on a positive note. Thanks

Right, finally an update. Sorry its taken a while, was waiting on Mercedes. Firstly I will say after the initial hiccups Merc have been really good. As a good will gesture they waived the diagnostics fee, I got a hire car and they are speaking to head office about what they can do with...

Apologies...been a bit busy. I have called Merc twice but no once has called me back. I asked to speak to the service manager and also the general manager. If I don't hear back today I may have to write to them. Stu, do you have any more information about the goodwill system? Thanks

The car is an 06 plate with 37000. I have owned it about 8 months and brought from a friend who never had any issues with it. It has full MB service history all on time. It is not always parked on the same spot but I remember an incident a while back where there was oil on the driveway but my...

Thanks for all the replies. Really appreciate them. Yes I agree a life of 37000 miles for transmission is not good. In fact I would go as far as saying that it is not acceptable. I will be speaking to Merc on Monday. I spoke to a friend yesterday who had a similar incident with his car...

Looking at the invoice it does say 4 transmission oil. Thanks for the info on the MobiloLife. That will get the car to Merc but the diagnostic and repair will be extortionate? Maybe I have no choice!

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm gonna cry! The car was serviced by MB Romford about 3months ago. Would they not have spotted this issue? I live in Ilford, Essex. One issue I have is taking it these places as it does not move at all so will need to towed. Obviously I need to get it...

Quick update on this. Took all the wiring loom out with the help of my brother and some of the wires had broken. Fixed with the help of a soldering iron so all working now...but the car is not as you can read about in my other thread.

Hi Unfortunately 2 weeks ago my B200 Turbo popped up the message "Transmission Fault". The car was still turning over but there was no power going to the weeks (drive or reverse). Pulled over waited a few minutes and restarted but still nothing but a "crunching" noise when I put it into...

Thanks, really appreciate the help. I did actually check all the connectors but have not had any joy. Let me search for the w211 as you suggested. Thanks again.

Hi Hope someone can help with this. I bought a B Class (2006) B200 Turbo a few months back. Overall a lovely car but have had a few issues with the passenger door mirror. Basically it was working perfectly fine when I bought it but then I noticed that the interior indicator light was...

I know what you mean...I also have a C200 CDI and there is no grip whatsoever...its actually scary how bad it is. This year it will just sit in the drive during the snow. Yep I have the standard 18s and conti and must say they have been quite good so far! (touch wood) Will call the dealer...

Thanks CLK will take a look and also call the dealer. Cheers

Thanks for your reply. Its an auto and you are right you can "feel" what s happening. Unfortunately I had some close calls last year so just want to be prepared this year (he says as it snows outside and he does not have snow tyres!!!) - LOL. Wanted to be prepared but left it a little late.''...

Hi I have a B200 Turbo too...very nice car. Your interior looks better than mine though! I have satnav and the panoramic sunroof which, when open, keeps the kids entertained. Enjoy SR2

Hi I have searched the forum and can't seem to find an answer to my query so hope someone can help. I recently purchased a B200 Turbo Petrol (2006), so am still getting used to it. As its used for school runs, etc I'd like to get it fitted with winter tyres. Ideally I want to get some cheap...
