    C220cdi W203 remap?

    After years of driving a W210 E320cdi, I'm about to swap to a 2005 model W203 220cdi. One of my favourite points about the 320cdi is the way the things pulls: bags of torque and plenty of get up and go, plus 45mpg on the motorway. I'm very curious as to whether the 220cdi can (or should) be...

    Locking misbehaving

    The central locking on my 2001 E320 estate is playing up. Seems to lock and unlock OK, but when locked the tailgate can be opened with one squeeze of the handle, setting off the alarm. Is this a problem with the electrics or the lock?

    Cruise control misbehaving

    The cruise control on my W210 e320 CDi has started playing up. It will function just fine for a run of 10 or 20 minutes, then it disengages all of it's own accord. If I reset it immediately, all is well for another 5-10 minutes, then it switches off again. This continues at decreasing...

    Cruise control misbehaving

    I have a W210 E320CDI. The cruise control has recently started misbehaving: if switches itself off unexpectedly, can be reset but then switches off again. It does this repeatedly, at decreasing intervals, until finally it disengages and refuses to work altogether. Next time out, chances are...

    Cold cabin

    My W210 E320cdi seems to take ages to warm the cabin on these cold mornings - 15-20 minutes of driving to get it comfortably warm and at least 5-10 minutes to fully clear the screen, even with the heater on full and the fan at full blast. Is this usual or could there be a fault somewhere?

    Noisy suspension

    My W210 estate has developed very noisy front suspension. When the driver's side front wheel drops into a hole, ripple or even just over a hump (say, a speed hump) there's a pronounced nocking noise and a bump that can (just) be felt in the soles of the feet. Any ideas of a cause? Front coil...

    ABS issue

    Not engine/oily bits I know, but I'm having slight issues with anti lock brakes that seem particularly eager to step-in, especially when going downhill and/or at low speed. Anybody come across this before? Oh, W210 E320 Cdi, by the way. Adam

    Protecting paintwork from dogs

    Anybody ged any suggestions for how to protect the paint on the upper surface of the rear bumper from the dog's claws as they leap into the back of my W210 estate? Getting rid of the dogs is not an option, according to the management. Are their any lacquer-type products that would do the...

    W210 - minor paint bubbling

    There are a couple of spots of pretty minor paint bubbling on my 2001 W210 estate - around the tailgate and one door frame. Anybody got any experience of fixing/repainting these type of issues? Big/expensive job? Or relatively straightforward? Adam

    W210 E320cdi estate - tyre question

    Anyone have an opinion on what are the best (define it if you feel inclined, but I'd go for quietest, best riding and most long lasting, or a combination of these) tyres for a W210 estate? Adam

    New here and new to MB - and I have a question

    Hello. New to the board and the marque. Just bought (well, px'd for) a 2001 W210 E320CDi Estate. Needed a load lugger and it seems to fit the bill. I must say, it's a lovely drive and in excellent condition. A couple of very small bubbles in the paint work but otherwise immaculate...
