    Trying to get to know my C220

    I doubt you'd have COMAND on your C220 SE. More likely to be a Becker Map Pilot. I think some people on here can help pull out the full details of your car if you supply a VIN

    MB Connect Me/A205 check brake pad wear

    Something interesting just happened. I'd imagine its beem around a while but I had no knowledge things now worked this way. I picked up my A205 just under 2 months ago and I have done about 1300 miles in it. On Saturday evening, the message 'check brake pad wear' popped up on the dash. Its...

    Are mercedes driver all -

    I am on holiday in the US and rented a Ford Mustang. I was shocked but pleased when I got a wave from a chap in a mustang on the other side of the road. When I ride my bike around where I live, I usually get a nod from other leisure riders. I dont get nods from pizza delivery people e.t.c. In...

    Disappointed by MB

    I got scammed by the Stealer using the brake pad trick. Although I fell for it and parted with my hard earned cash, I realised it was a scam when filing the paperwork. I drove about 4000 miles every year. Each year until the scam, the brake pad wore by about 10%. i.e. at year 1 service 90%...

    Can anyone locate the AUX on my E Class?

    My 2009 W212 with Audio 20 had the aux in the glove box. If your car has COMAND it probably doesnt have it. Why would you want it anyway. It was terrible the only time I tried it in my car. Very low and just generally horrible. I resorted to burning CDs. You are better off copying your music to...

    Valet parkers and the foot operated parking brake

    My only experience with my pug 307 was a broken wiper. I couldnt understand what they'd have been doing to have broken it Never again. Now I park and hold on to my keys or better still take a taxi.

    Is C205 200 petrol underpowered?

    I drove my Pug 406 and 307 in snow with summer tyres with absolutely no problem. I only ever tried the Merc once. I lifted my foot off the brake, vehicle moved off, tapped brake to slow down and car just slid on and I was heading into a house until a kerb stopped me. I parked the car and...

    Is C205 200 petrol underpowered?

    I wouldnt spend extra on 4Matic or even winter tyres for 1-3 days of snow we get here in SE England. I'll just take a taxi or train if necessary. I am a weekend driver anyway. My original reply was based on the OPs circumstances whereby they get 3/4 months of snow/rain a year. It is...

    Is C205 200 petrol underpowered?

    Yeah right. What a moron. I wonder why they offer 4Matic if the rear wheel set up was adequate on its own:wallbash:

    Is C205 200 petrol underpowered?

    You are doing the right thing. Rear wheel Mercs are useless in the snow. When it snows here in the UK, I effectively become car-less. I once tried to drive my W212 in a light dusting of snow and a kerb which halted my slide was the only thing that saved me from a big repair bill

    I have a C200 cab. The power is more than adequate for me and I havent even workes the engine as I am still in the brealing in period. My last car was an E200 which I believe is heavier than the C cab and ot moved like stink (to me). It would anyway cause my car before getting into Mercs was a...

    PCP the next Sub-Prime Mortgage crisis??

    I just will never get this thing about people worrying about what other people spend their money on. The monthly payments are currently obviously affordable for the people who buy these new cars. At work when I see someone who buys 3 coffees from Pret daily, I feel smug drinking the free...
