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...

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...

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...

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)...

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...

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...

Hi I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice. I replaced 2 rear tyres last month on my W212 sport. Then 2 days ago I got a screw in one of them close to the edge so had to buy another! I also have a slow puncture on the near-side front which is leaking air in 3 places so I don't want...

I'm looking to upgrade the audio on my 2012 E250 that has an Audio 50 APS fitted. I just really want a bit more base. I was thinking that it would initially be good to upgrade with an amp so I had a look on fleabay and noticed that there are several Harmon Becker Stereo amps up for sale that...

Had my 2012 E250 'B' service yesterday and have noticed today that the maps on my Audio 50 APS haven't been updated. For some reason I thought that I would received free updates whilst the vehicle was still under its 3 year warranty. Could anyone here confirm please if I should get free...

Can someone advise please. Autoglass fitted a new front windscreen to my 2012 E250 CDI sport today as the other one had a bit of a crack in it. When the fitter showed me the new screen I noticed that running along the whole length of the bottom of the screen within the black shaded area was...

Hi Could someone help me please. A flying stone cracked my front windscreen on Thursday on my 2012 E250 CDI Sport so I contacted my Insurance company (LV) who put me through to Autoglass for a replacement. Autoglass asked 2 questions: Firstly, Do I have a piece of wire going around...

Hi I was thinking about buying some touch-up paint from Chipex Car touch up paint - colour match guaranteed Just wondering if anyone here has used their paint before I buy some as it is quite pricey! Maybe worth it though if it works. Thanks

Hi I hope someone can help me I damaged the star badge on the boot of my 2012 W212 eclass yesterday by rather stupidly reversing the car into a metal barrier . Fortunately, no part of the car was damaged except the star symbol on the boot lid! I will be off to the main dealer on Monday...

Hi I have a 2012 W212 sport with the 'standard' 6 spoke AMG alloys that most of the E class and C class sport versions seem to have. A couple of days ago I kerbed one of my four perfect alloys and now I have only three perfect alloys! I intend to get the kerbed alloy repaired but I am unsure...

I have never bought a new car before as I have always bought a 2 to 3 year old car from a MB dealership. I was therefore just wondering if anyone new what sort of discount that I should negotiate on a CLA for £29,000. My current C Class is worth about £9K and I would need the dealer to take it...

I have a 57 plate c200 Kompressor which has an annoying drone from the engine / exhaust area when the engine is cold. It only lasts for about 30 to 60 seconds but can be rather loud if I pull away quite fast. When I bought the car last year from a Merc dealer I took it back to them to see if...
