Front suspension arm wear on W205's is very common, but that mileage seems quite low for issues to arise (although given the state of our roads.....). May be worth looking at the current MOT results and seeing if any advisories were raised on the front suspension.

You will have a TC and I would get 10L of ATF - you're aware of the process to follow and that oil has to be pumped in? The only reason I ask is that sometimes people think the process is the same as the 5G (on which you can pour in the oil) and once drained, if you don't have a pump you're...

Yep.........

Thanks but via my iCarsoft I have established the actual EPB/motor is working fine. The issue lays before that, I think, with the signal to disengage the brake. I've also tested if you can overide the warning by pulling the EPB switch and then work i.e. EPB disenages and car will then...

Thanks for the replies - yes, it's going back in (again!) and I will be raising the 'what if out of warranty' question.

I've had an issue since last Summer on my 2015 S205 where, increasingly, the EPB isn't disengaging (or at least the car thinks it hasn't disengaged) You depress the brake (as normal) and move the gear stalk to go from P to D or R and a Red warning message appears on the screen 'Release parking...

I've heard of the loom chafing through near where it plugs in to the AdBlue tank on the W205. I'd be requesting more details from the dealer as to what the exact issue is.

Isn't it always like this in the UK and Europe due to less 'eager' legal systems, class-action lawsuits less common and generally weaker consumer law....

You can’t check the ATF level on this gear box! The car is booked in with MB as under approved/used warranty but so far scanning with iCarsoft shows no fault codes....

Over the past few months with increasing frequency, on cold/1st start or when the car has been left several hours, when I select D or R (with foot firmly on the brake pedal), gear is not selecting plus a warning of parking-brake still engaged on the dash displays - almost like false Neutral...

As per title, I’ve noticed a hissing noise has started in the past 2weeks. Car has done 76K and braking is all normal. Any ideas?

When I had to replace the whole foot brake assembly on my S204 I recall it being very easy. Sorry i'm scant on detail but get down in to the footwell and take a look - as I recall it was all quite self explanatory.

On advice from an MB tech, I only ever refill with 10L i.e. half full - ensures no AdBlue is sat in the tank for an excessive period allowing more crystalisation and more fresh AdBlue is moving more regularly through the system. Other key advice was to remove the AdBlue injector nozzle twice a...

Hi Janet from the US with a BMW - please tell us what spam you have planned for the forum???

Based on my own experience, I would avoid Carly like the plague - regular connection issues and would be unable to access modules previously found plus awful customer service. I replaced an iCarsoft with Carly but have since returned to iCarsoft.

I've got the same and I think getting that panel wrapped in gloss black film is the cleanest solution.

Firmware would have been latest version available to MB dealers, as of March 2023, and it's the firmware that is key to operating efficiently and not the map version.

Firmware was updated when I bought the car in March. I appreciate it’s not the latest satnav system but COMAND on my 205 C43 (identical system) seemed to work more efficiently.

I have COMAND fitted on my S205 (2015) - software is up to date, map is on the latest version and also set to 'fastest' route mode.....yet it's started doing odd things over the past week like trying to avoid toll roads (specifically Dartford bridge/tunnel) and also seemingly not selecting the...

I had a C43 Premium Plus estate for 3years and covered around 30K miles - beautiful car which made me smile everytime I started it and I still miss it! As above ensure it has FULL service history. Also make sure it has the Perfrmance Exhaust (PE) option fitted. The weakpoint on the C43 can be...
