    A/C re-gassed and then won't switch on

    Thanks for that. So basically their is no point in taking it back to the place where it was regassed as they don't have a star machine. The Mercedes dealer will charge for it I guess!

    A/C re-gassed and then won't switch on

    Hi Gents, would appreciate if anyone could chime in here. I had my air con re-gassed and after, when i tried to switch it on via command (w221), it would not switch on. The tick would go off for a split second and then come back on. I took it back to kwik fit, who checked the diagnostics...

    Top Up Coolant Warning on E350

    I am having a similar problem with my W221 2007. The coolant light came on for a while, then disappeared. I checked the coolant level and it was full. Now the light just comes on when I start the car and then goes off again. Any advice?

    Which colour to vinyl wrap my SL500?

    I have an S Class, silver, I've been thinking of wrapping it in matt black or gloss black. Any good wrappers in the London area that are a good price. The S is a pan roof so I wouldn't need to be wrapping that part.

    Redex Petrol or Petrol Injection Cleaner?

    For a diesel, would you recommend using the Redex on the W221? I guess it works out the same if I fill up with V-Power and test that, or regular diesel and add the Redex.

    Engine not accelerating past 40mph

    No I hadn't. But I do believe it is the air mass sensor. My car was parked up for a while before I bought it and since the incident I gave it a good blast and its running better. I will look into getting the MAF cleaned and hopefully not replaced. Thanks for all your help guys.

    Engine not accelerating past 40mph

    So thats limp mode, thanks a lot. I did some research on signs and symptoms of a faulty MAF, and it does seem like that is what it is. My car hesitates to accelerate by about 2 seconds, and sometimes I feel a slight chug at 40mph. I have a health check up at Merc on saturday I will look into all...

    Engine not accelerating past 40mph

    I was driving quite casually for a while in my W221, and then when I finally got some space I decided to accelerate at around the 40 mark and noticed no power was felt, the rev meter almost stayed at 2 revs if not lower and the car slowly accelerated. I even put my foot down to the floor and...
