Thanks Smiley. I thought that would be the consensus. I know the risks of not extending the manufacturers warranty, but the bit that really grates me is that I now have a problem (more expensive) that I didn't have prior to Mercedes involvement.

No, purchased at 18 months, 17k

Hi all, I think a lot of my experience has happened to others on here. And I feel like I won't get much from Mercedes from this. In November, EML came on. Code checked and picked up as NOx sensor. No other issues on the car. My indy advised I could chase a warranty claim. Car is 4 yrs, 40k...

I have a W213 (E), 2017 AMG edition. When I first got it, my Android Auto worked perfectly. Functions I use the most would be Google Maps rather than the Mercedes Sat Nav, purely because traffic is much more accurate. I then mostly use Spotify for music. Quite a while ago, I am guessing Spring...

Hi all, Didn't realise I had so many replies. Still got the issue, but here's what I did. I unclipped the nearest washer jet from the u/s of the bonnet, pulled off the hose. Then I took a bicycle pump with a small plastic nozzle that fitted nicely in the end of the hose and blasted away. You...

Thanks. I haven't had a good look yet, but I am assuming it is not the jet outlet as both sides went at the same time. Must be a blockage between the pump and the splitter (assuming that is the layout)

Any one had their windscreen washers stop working ? Mine is a W213 (E) on a 17 plate. Main dealers say we will clear it, but if it is just a blockage it is not manufacturer warranty and want to charge £95+VAT. I said I would try myself first ! Just seeing if anyone else has had this ??

Hi, So apart from really enjoying my E Class 220D (W213, 17), I am still pretty annoyed that UK models have remote start features disabled. I see that there are some regulations why, but I still see plenty of other manufacturers providing this. Anyone know why ? I wish there was a workaround...

Really helpful replies all of you, thanks. I have found a good guide here to troubleshoot:Mercedes Diesel Glow Plug Repair I will do a step by step myself (digital multimeter) to establish. I will ask for the actual codes when I pick the car up in the morning. The garage itself is...

It has been on the Star - the Output Stage Controller is what they said.

Hi all, Can anyone drop me a line on the below, which I have just been advised by my indy on a diagnosis visit (W211 270CDI, 53/2003): 1) I have the glow plug light on most of the time. I think I can recall this starting when I travelled through some really big floods recently. Indy has...

Thank you all for helping out. That answers perfectly.

Can I please bump this thread ? I never actually resolved this. I still have the lower control panel not opening. I think the issue may be that I have a cable that is not connected anywhere. I have taken a photo of the rear (attached) and circled the main cable connector and one that I cannot...

If it helps anyone, Philips bulbs have held up nicely

Hi all Only noticed this weekend (heavy rain overnight) that there was water coming in above the rear view mirror. W211 270CDI, 53 plate. Not had this before, but only had car for 6 months and through summer. There was enough water to drip from the overhead light controls onto the rear...

Xtreme on their way, as well as a pair of CANBUS 501 for the sides. Fingers crossed they last. Thanks for the help

Thanks all. Standard Halfords H7's were the culprit. I was pretty careful in not touching the lens. I did notice the LH bulb didn't come on briefly while I changed the RH. Then it returned. I think I will get the battery and the alternator checked to make sure they are in good nick, then give...

Hi, Has anyone else had a problem with dipped beam bulbs not lasting very long ? When I got the car 6 months ago, the RH dipped beam bulb needed replacing. Then about a month ago the LH. And now the RH again. Is this normal ? Thanks.

Hello everyone :bannana: I had my first Mercedes now for 5 months and I am very happy. It is a E270CDI W211 (53). I have finally got round to ditching my stock Audio 20 head unit and shipping in an Alpine ICS-X8 which I am very happy with. My Audio 20 was excellent quality for stock...
