I will check into that StMarks - thanks!

I shall check that SpikyMikey. Thanks!

Thanks Kenny. I have to assume a rear bumper repaint but until this 'peeled' laqeur it looked absolutely AOK - annoying!! No spacers fitted - thats just how far the standard wheel overhangs the bumper - effectively the culprit!! I'm currently planning on getting 'Stone chip spray' and sanding /...

I just noticed that the top-coat lacqeur is 'missing' on the lower edge of both my rear wheel arches of my W207 cabriolet 2015 (42,00 miles). I took the car into a local paint shop today and, showing the paint guy, I said I suspected that a defective earlier paint job had caused this loss of...

'Collision prevention Assist' now sorted (one 'radar' replaced). Dealer tech says I have latest firmware for engine and transmission. In the few days since visiting the dealer I have not noticed the previous 'hesitation'. Could it be that either replacing the 'radar' stopped the car 'thinking'...

MarkJay - many thanks for your most useful reply. The car is 'new' to me so it is only me now finding it to be 'hesitating' and scratching my head - but i guess that it must have been this way for 'always'. I'm going to the MB dealer for a warranty issue on the 'Collision prevention Assist'...

I have a 2015 A207 E-Class E220 BlueTec AMG-line Cabriolet 2015 turbo-diesel auto. When the engine is cold I experience slight 'hesitations' as I accelerate for about the first half mile after which it clears as the engine warms up. I have put a pot of injector cleaner and another of turbo...

I will double-treble check it but my first impression is "yes" it returns nicely. But I noticed that the key insertion 'slot' to the left is looking a 'bit mucky' so probably worth a clean and a squirt of 3-in-1 in there because it could be something there. The 'odd' thing is that the...

Ian - I can't seem to persuade my fob to 'change modes' perhaps a 2006 vehicle wasn't set up with this. I also read that my problem could be caused by failing batteries in the key fob and so have changed both batteries in the 2 fobs that I have - no change. So I now conclude that I must have a...

Thank you Ian. I will give that a try! Mine has always done your B) until now. Sounds a distinct possibility.

My a209 boot (trunk) latch handle will not unlock when unlocking the general car central locking on the remote fob. It will, however, release correctly both when I press the dedicated ‘boot only’ button on the fob and also pressing the button on the drivers door. This only started in the past...

Again, thanks MrGreedy. I have just contacted the iCarsoft pro dealer to ask them to recommend the correct scanner model for my 2006 A209 in the hope that with Black Friday on the near horizon there may be a good deal to be had. In defence of my regular indie man who has serviced and...

Finally resolved! Went back to an Indie MB specialist with a STAR (or better?) who ran full tests including temperature sensors readings (thanks MrGreedy) which showed complete 'blank data' from the upper temp sensor. Removed and disassembled upper light unit with tiny sensor in front of...

Yes, I think that you are completely right. What initially seemed to be a 'silly' fault that 'must' have an easy fix has become a tedious time waster. I have been exceedingly wary of involving the MB dealer (purely for 'fears' of cost in my retirement) but either the other Indie with a STAR, or...

No, I checked this again a short while ago when I replaced the rain sensor. Happily that front screen demist works fine (I need it when I cannot otherwise control clearing the screen). The only other 'oddball' is when I perform a synchronise of the air ducts (press that demist and recirc buttons...

I have changed the screen-mounted sensor pack containing the rain sensor and auto-on headlight unit. The old one (removed) has something which rattles in the casing and is also missing the 25mm long heating resistor that is present and visible on the new one. No change to my climate control...

When the fitter returned he unclipped the sensor (no disconnection) to have a look at it. Oddly rocking the sensor module produced a rattle... Maybe a change of sensor would be a good next move. Thanks for your info.

Oddly it appears to be directed at the front screen only, I think from the slotted vents at the screen base. I can hear the flaps move when I synchronise them (holding recirc and fast screen clear buttons together) so had not made any sense of that. But you are right, I have not been able to...

So far the work done has been reading through fault codes and clearing whatever shows one by one, then running the car and rechecking for any recurrence. So, “no”, no sensor readouts t my knowledge. Maybe this is what he has in mind by taking e car to his chum’s Star analyser. To date he has...

My Indie MB man has a couple of good diagnostic machines which currently can not find a specific problem. Next step (when I replace the central overhead light cluster with the top climate sensor inside) will be to go to 'his mate' nearby who has a MB Star diagnostic reader which apparently can...
