I fitted a £25 sensor kit bought from Ebay. It was the type that simply beeps rather than having a display, this meant no wiring run to the front of the car or unsightly aftermarket display units on the mirror etc. All the work, wiring and mounting take place behind the nearside boot spare wheel...

Hi, I am thinking of 'chipping' my E320CDI. There are various companies claiming various improvements such as THESE guys and THESE too. However, there is nothing like experience so I would be very interested if anyone can give first hand experience. Many thanks!

:D Thanks for the offer but it has taken me weeks to find the time to sort mine. However, I strongly suggest that if the failed LCDs bother you enough then you should have a go yourself. It really was suprisingly easy and effective, I have never done anything like this before but with the...

What a fantastic resource this forum is! I can report that following the instructions on this post to remove the pod: Pod Removal And then this post to repair the pod: Pod Repair I have sucessfully fixed the LCD displays on both sides of the instrument pod, saving myself around £800 at MB...

Excellent Information - much appreciated! Definately worth a go at fixing it myself, I have repaired mobile phones and a PDA with screen issues in the past. I can't make it much worse and if I am not happy with the results I have only lost some time attempting the fix so will bite the bullet...

Hi All, Our W210 AG Instrument Pod has problems with both side LCD displays. Sections of the LCD matrices are not working so full characters are not displayed. This in turn, turns the time, temperature and gear indicator info into meaningless hieroglyphics. Oh what fun we had playing the...

Hi, Not sure about the length but according to the website and Merc specsheet the W210 uses M12 thread bolts but the W211 uses M14 both have 1.5 pitch. Thanks

Excellent, thanks Joe. As MB fitted a 17x8 ET37 on the W210, I am guessing that the W211 17.8 ET38 will not be an issue. The tyres fitted to the W211 are 245/45 which is slightly wider than the 235/45 of the W210 but again I assume the additional 5mm will not be an issue. One thing I have...

Hi All, I have a W210 Avant Gard estate that came fitted with 17" wheels (see my sig pic). I am looking at replacing them with W211 8Jx17H2 ET38 wheels I have been offered by a local breaker. Will they fit? He says they are interchangeable but I though I better check with you guys first...

Thanks Guys, Turned out to be a faulty air mass sensor. Replaced it and all is now well. Boggie

Interesting, thanks. Where is it please and is it possible to remove and unstick-it?

Hi All, Our W210 320CDI has developed a strange intermittent fault. Whilst driving up the motorway at about 50MPH on Friday night I noticed that if I tried to accelerate to overtake, the car did not drop down a gear. If I put my foot down the revs did not rise immediately as normal, they only...

They are, hence the lack of dashboard adjustment. However mine are very low since it came back from service so something is not right. I was wondering if anyone could help.

Thanks! Can you tell me where it is located and what it looks like please.

The headlights on my W210 seem very low since it came back from service. There is no dashboard control as these are Xenons so can anyone tell me how to adjust them please. Thanks, Boggie

Hi, thanks for the replies. We are in Bucks. Boggie

Hi All, I need to have the wheels on our car refurbished. However, to do this properly I need to remove the wheels and send them away for a few days but we still need to use the car. We have been offered a set of new shape (W211) wheels to borrow but I need to know if they will fit our late...

OK, Job done! For anyone searching this forum for the information here’s how, it should take 2 leisurely hours: 1. Open the boot and remove both side panels (Spare wheel cover and First Aid / CD Changer covers). 2. Open the rear floor panel (in mine this contains the fold-out rear seat...

Hi All, I'm planning to fit reversing sensors to our W210 Estate this week. From my searches on this forum I believe that there are sensor drilling points marked on its inside but does anyone know how I remove the bumper (7 seat model)? Can anyone tell me the best point to bring the sensor...

Hi All, I am fitting a phone kit to my W210, it has the Audio 10 head unit. Does anyone know which connector is the mute connector on the back of the unit please? Thanks!
