    Crazy Mileage on this W212

    Mechanically it's probably in better conditon than a similar aged car that's done 1000 miles/yr on the weekly trip to Tesco/National Trust Car park. No cold start cycles/condensation in the exhasut etc etc

    W213 mods...

    Grille - easy and no effect on shutters (video on my YouTube site) Spacers - I run 12 front and 15 rear (looks better and no difference to driving feel) but you will need longer bolts Lowering - I have air suspension and had it lowered 10mm and usually run in ECO/Sport so another 10mm down. Did...

    E400D susp. sensors...

    Is your car an Estate -if so it has air at the back to self level, but of course the car needs to know what is level. The sensors you describe will be for that AND the headlight levelling - the twin cameras by the interior mirror are there to direct the shape and sideways movement of the...

    7G+ service time/mileage

    Think it is 5 years/50k miles. Note some territories have differing limits - for example with the 9G the ROW (EU) cars are 75k miles/no time limit but NAS are 75k/5years. Don't know where you are in UK, but at the time I went to an MB Specialist in Nottingham with our SLK and they knew what...

    S213 Air Suspension Collapse

    MB Centre in Nottingham made a very good impression on me a few years back - although I declined the "car wash" offer with power washer and filthy wash mits as I didn't want my car to be fully swirll marked on return!

    2019 W205 Radiator Fan runs at high speed after a journey as soon as the ignition is turned off

    Well if it was a diesel then I would say it was doing a particle filter regen when you swtiched it off. Some petrols to have them too - and yours is one of them: Mercedes-Benz M260/M264 engine - Wikipedia Hard to believe that the MB Garage couldn't work that out?

    A238 E Class Convertible Roof strings worn and snapped

    Please, please go back to the start of this thread. DO NOT just pay. MB knows there is an issue with Pre June 2019 built cars. My wifes has just failed (build date 09 Jun 18) and the dealer has been requested to see what the current MB policy to fixing. I am not expecting anything positive...

    W213 E220 2017 Brake Judder / Vibrations in steering wheel

    Can you clarify what you mean by back plates - do you mean on the brake pads (or am I missing something here)? I am about to change the retaining pins and metal braked/spring thing as maybe the slightly old (corroded) original pins to not allow the pads to slide in and out freely. I've come to...

    W213 E220 2017 Brake Judder / Vibrations in steering wheel

    A hardy perenial problem, which I too have faced. Mileage dependant on your car, but I have just replaced the two steering arm outer tie rods and this has significantly reduced the "wobble" [both joints were life expired though after 80k miles). Do check the tracking and I fully agree with...

    Wheel spacers

    I have 12mm front and 15mm rear on the AMG Line 20" alloys. They are almost flush but don't stand out to attract attention of the Polizei here in Germany. Legally on mine (on noting the 205 and 213 share many, many panels) the biggest you can go is 20mm rear and 18mm front without folding the...

    GLC 250d 2017 X253 touchpad cracked

    Yes! Please watch my video: I suspect screws etc will be in very similar places as there are many shared components in the dash. I am sure 205/213 car touchpads are interchangeable, however, as they have different symbols they could be different. Not sure about new prices, but there are...
