I bought a w218 350 cdi shooting brake a couple of weeks ago, love it! However, it's been going into limp mode almost every day. It's been to mercedes who can't find any fault codes, engine management light isn't on either. I've had a TPMS error a couple of times so checked tyre pressures. I...

Hi All So Friday wasn't the best, crashed my CLS into the back of a bellend Audi who decided to cut me up and slam his brakes on... Anyway, long story short, the bonnet, grille and bumper are wrecked but no airbags deployed as the impact speed was about 15-20 miles an hour. So tried driving the...

Hi Everyone I've changed the original Comand NTG2.5 head unit in my CLS to a new Pioneer double-din with Android Auto etc but now I can't change the dashboard/instrument binnacle clock time! Anyone know how I can change it without waiting up till midnight so its on the right time!? I'm in Leeds...

Hi All When I close the OS drivers window on my W219 2010 CLS it doesn't seem to sit on the seal on the B pillar properly, there is a gap which has been getting gradually worse over the last week or so. Also, the window is getting a bit slow to operate... Anyone know if theres an adjustment...

Hi All My front disks are warped so while I'm going to change the disks and pads I might as well look for a decent upgrade... What have you guys fitted as an upgrade to disks/pads, and what are your thoughts (noise, vibration etc). I never track my CLS and most of my driving is motorway...

Hi All I've had my CLS 350CDi Grand Edition remapped (Elite Remap, and still have the Brabus box fitted) for some time now, but I need more! Usual story, I've got used to the performance on offer, don't want to change my car for a good year or so, so upgrading seems the way forward for now...

I've just had both rear springs replaced on my 2010 w219 Grand Edition, but now the rear of the car is about 40mm higher than it was before the spring change. Did the GE models have lower suspension as standard? My garage bought the springs from Mercedes Benz in Harrogate so I'd think they'd...

Hi All Are there any decent disc & pad upgrades available for a W219 350 CDi? I had all discs and pads replaced last year and the pads now need replacing again. I average about 40k a year so want some stoppers that can handle a lot of motorway and A road use. I've seen some Black Diamond and...

Hi All I've had a Pioneer AVIC F80DAB unit installed in my CLS for the last 6 months and every few days it completely loses GPS signal. The guy that fitted it didn't wire up the speed pulse sensor wire, and the place where I bought the unit reckon thats the issue. Does anyone know where...

Hi All How difficult is it to replace the door speakers on a w219 CLS Grand Edition? I've removed the door panel previously which is easy enough but I didn't check what wiring went to the existing OEM speakers. I know which speakers I want to get (Hertz Mille Pro 165.3), but do I need to chop...

I have a late 2010 CLS Grand Edition and the polished alloy lacquer has started to flake and bubble quite badly. I'm looking at a a bill of £400 to have the wheels refurbished and diamond cut again, but does anyone know if wheels are subject to the same warranty as car bodywork? Would be...

Is it possible to remap a w219 CLS350CDI Grand Edition that already has a Brabus chip fitted from the factory, and can the Brabus chip be used in conjunction with a remap or is it a case of either/or? If so does anyone have any recommendations for chip tuners in the North of England, and...

Is it possible to change the frequency of the headlamp wash on a late 2010 CLS? Apparently it only works if the windscreen is washed 5 times while the car in running. As I do mainly shorter journeys the headlamps don't get cleaned and I'm way too busy (lazy!) to clean them myself... So, is...

Hi All I've just got myself a gorgeous late 2010 W219 CLS 350 CDI Grand Edition. I'm happy as a pig in poop with it except for one thing, I cannot for the life of me get any of my ipods working through the MB media interface cable. I have an Ipod Classic 6th gen 160gb (30 pin...

Hi All I've just bought a late 2010 E350 CDI BlueTEC BlueTEC Sport Edition 125 7G-Tronic, and from what I can gather its got the weediest output of all the v6 diesels, according to Parkers mine has got 208 bhp. To say I'm gutted is an understatement, but in all honesty the car felt quite a bit...

Hi All I've just bought an e350 CDI Estate on a 60 plate, but how do I find out what the build/spec is on the car? The reason I ask is that I'm not sure if mine has the 265bhp engine :fail It would be good to know as I want to get the car remapped and I don't know if it can be done via the...
