I have a 2019 CLS 300, 18,000 miles and the engine management light came on yesterday and I lost a lot of power. A Mercedes Mobile mechanic took a look at it today and it seems it is failed vacuum oil pump. This entails taking the engine out etc costing thousands. He is aware that this is a...

Just wondering if anyone else here has had an issue with their CLS when changing from reverse to drive when the engine hasnt warmed up. I get a jolt that was more severe in the winter but not as bad now but definitely isnt right. Its been into the Southend dealership twice now where they have...

I had a 2016 (66 plate) E-Class 220d AMG Line 4-door 9G Tronic saloon which I bought at 7k miles from MB dealership. Soon after I noticed a slight judder when braking and when I searched on this forum it seemed that it was a well known issue. So I had the pads and discs replaced under warranty...

Thanks for your help guys. Thne reason why I thought that there was a signal amplifier in the boot was because when i was looking for an antenna on ebay I noticed that an amplifier housed in the bootlid was also being sold for the W213. Looks like I put 2 and 2 together and made 5!

My Garmin Map Pilot sat nav isnt able to pick up satellites anymore on my late 2016 e class. I just get then message 'acquiring satellites' all the time whether the car is stationary or on the move. I've tried taking the SD card out and back in again but that doesnt help. I understand that the...

Does anyone know if there are 2 batteries on the W213? I have a 2016 E220d and 4 weeks ago i got the 'start engine - See owners manual' message. I charged the battery but then got the message again after 2 weeks. I then drove the car for about 30 miles and all was OK but now the message has come...

Yea I know 2.5mm is bad but they will both be replaced by the weekend

The car was a demo and 8 months old when i bought it from Bristol MB dealer and it had done 5k miles so who knows who had driven it before I bought it.

OMG now I am worried! The car is only just over 2 years old. If it was a failed control arm though would I have not felt vibration in the steering wheel or the car would have wondered a bit? I have had a quick look behind the tyre and cant see any visible signs of wear or damage.

Really grateful for all of the replies chaps. The damage has not been caused by over-inflating or under-inflating though as I have always checked the pressures regularly. Anyway, the damage isn't through wear as it just seems that an entire centimetre strip running across the tyre and 3mm...

I was just now washing the car and noticed that one side of my front tyre has shredded (see pic). The tyre is a P Zero 275/30 20r run flat. I need to get to the tyre place but its 7 miles away. Obviously I would drive very slowly but does anyone know how dangerous it is for me to drive the 7...

Just wondered if anyone else suffers from condensation in their W213. Although I get a bit on all windows it is the rear that suffers most. The rear screen demister takes ages to clear the screen. If i use the air-conditioning it eventually clears but as soon as I turn it off it mists up...

Hi nickpb 6 weeks ago I bought my W213 from Mercedes of Bristol - 8 months old - 4500 miles. I have 20 inch alloys too with pirelli p zero run flats. The tyres feel great and provide a comfortable ride. However, the rears are down to 4 to 5mm and the fronts are on 6mm. I am concerned that the...

I have just received an email from Lookers advising me that they are holding a Directors Event next week where 'Literally, just once a year we are able to offer some staggering discounts. So exceptional are these savings that at this stage we cannot put these in writing - but we promise you...

Hi Soon after I got my car back from a service last year I noticed a tiny crack on the face of my Audio 50 APS on the black perspex thingy that was about 2mm long. Unfortunately, over the last few months the crack has got longer and longer and is now about 2cm long (see pic)...

Thanks Codger49. You have been very helpful. If its going to be a bit too difficult to replace the actuator I will you use the graphite grease as you suggested

A couple of days ago I placed a message on here requesting advice on how to sort out my fuel flap that got stuck on my W212 http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/electronics/204648-w212-fuel-flap-stuck.html The emergency release didn't work so I used brute force to open the flap. I then put lots...

Pulling the emergency release just didn't work. In the end I had to force the fuel flap open. I presume it must have bent the the actuator rod temporarily but it seemed to spring back in place again. I used WD 40 on the rod and it now seems to retract OK (for the time being anyway!)

I keep pulling it but no luck. I also feel that by pulling it too much will break the plastic cord as I can feel it stretching

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me My 2012 W212 fuel flap is stuck closed and it wont open. I have pulled the emergency release in the boot but that wont release it either. I presume that the actuator pin has got stuck or simply doesn't work anymore. I did think it might be the fuse but I...
