Finally got around to checking the glow plugs and number 6 is open circuit so I'm just going to replace this one. Thanks for all the replies.

I have a 2004 E320 CDi on which the glow plug lamp on the dash comes back on after the engine has started. I connected my “MaxiScan MS509” scanner to investigate the problem but it shows no errors, is this normal as I would have thought that there would be a stored code showing which glow plug...

There is a fan unit on EBay, the part number is A 211 505 00 55/A 211 500 05 93 but I don't know if this is the correct part number for you. here's the link to the advert MERCEDES radiator fan electrical A 211 500 05 93 | eBay

When you had the water pump replaced it is likely that the fan unit was removed to gain access to the pump, the fan unit has a plug built into it at the bottom for the electrical connections and it is possible that there is a bad connection or bent pin. It is not a difficult job to remove the...

I have a 2004 E320 CDi and about 2/3 years ago I had the same warning light come on but for me the light stayed on permanently. I took the alternator to a local repairer who replace the regulator for about £40. I have had no issues with the alternator since. My Bosch alternator part number is...

On my E320, I removed the radiator fan assembly which came out fairly easily and then had plenty of room to remove and refit the belt.

So your going to the Mercedes garage for a check up, what's happening to the van?

I have one, I live in Thames Ditton KT7. I'll be at home tonight, tomorrow evening I'll be in Sunbury (not far from the start of the M3). Let me know if you want to borrow it and we can arrange something.

Thanks for that Mike and you are correct, the cables are OK. I found that item 50 was broken so I've replaced it along with a new pin (60) but it is still the same. When I press the foot pedal down, the brake is applied but as soon as I take my foot off the pedal it returns to its original...

Today, when pressing down on the foot operated parking brake on my 2004 S211, there was a metallic noise, when I took my foot off the brake pedal it returned to its original position. I'm guessing that the cable has snapped but looking at Eurocarparts, they list a RH & LH cable. Now it is quite...

Wimslo, Thanks but you have just blown my theory out of the water:wallbash:

As I understand it, heat pumps do not heat the water to a high temperature. This is why it is recommended to have it under the floor. It needs a lot of pipe work to carry the (not very hot) water around the whole floor area, as the whole floor has to become the radiator/heat sink. If you use...

Winslo, your original post has got me thinking, when you had the problem on your S211, you had the warning light on the dash on, but mine is off all the time. So now I'm thinking, what if the car thinks the ride height is correct? In this instance the light would be off and the pump would have...

Winslo, Thanks for that. Do you have the part numbers of the relay and compressor so I can do a bit of looking around for the parts before it goes in on Thursday? Just in case my problem is the same as yours. Also can you confirm the location of the relay & compressor? Thanks

Thanks for the info Jon. I have been trying to find out about the relay mentioned earlier in this thread as this might have made it an easy fix but so far I've had no joy in finding anything about it. I did find an old thread on another forum and the fault turned out to the be the "valve" but...

My S211 320CDI with pretty much all the toys fitted, came with a full MBSH and it was fitted with a MB supplied 70AH battery, so it would appear that Mercedes think this size battery is OK. I believe that this battery size is really the minimum spec size and 100AH the better option. So in...

Mr ATK, the system on my car looks to be different to yours; I have on the rear suspension, standard shock absorbers and instead of springs, I have these bellows that are pumped up with air to keep the ride height constant as the load in the rear is increased or decreased. I have found diagrams...

I have had the message “Convenience functions disabled” nearly every time I start my car for the 2 years that I have owned my S211 but within a mile I get the message that they are now restored. What I have gleaned from the posts that I have read about the issue is a lot down to the fact that I...

Thanks for that Dieselman but any clue as to which relay?

I have a 2004 S211 with self-levelling suspension on the rear and normal springs and shock absorbers on the front. Before Christmas, while on a motorway I got an error display on the dash, it showed a picture of the car with an upward pointing arrow. During the journey home the error reset...
