Evening all, Having a bit of trouble with my suspension on my E350d. A couple of days ago on the motorway I had a message come up, car with up arrow and 'Malfunction, See Owner's Manual'. I plugged in my iCarsoft reader and it showed 'The Left Front Level Control Valve Has A Malfunction...

I had an iCarSoft MB V2.0 but it wouldn't do forced regen on my 2009 212 (displayed 'Vehicle Not Supported' even with latest updates), I now need to re-code an injector, am I likely to have more luck with the iCarSoft CR Pro or MB V3.0? is the MB V3.0 the later version? I noted on the website...

Hi all, just wondering what people’s thoughts are. I currently run a 2009 E350 CDI with 344,000 miles and need to change due to council age restrictions (I do private hire work). I have been very pleased with my E350 over the last 6 years and nearly 250,000 miles and want to stick with the...

Hi All, I'm getting a P109B fault code, I have searched but can't find anything conclusive. The car is running cooler than normal, fluctuating between 60 and 80 degrees and doing lots of DPF regens. Seems to be driving ok though, any ideas what may be wrong? I did put some DPF cleaning...

Hi all, the DPF is now clogged on my 2009 E350 CDI, the car now has 341,000 miles on it so can‘t spend fortunes on it as it will need to be replaced in a few months. It did a re-gen during a long day’s driving on Friday and was a few miles and a couple of hours after this that it went into limp...

Hi all, stupid question but I’ve just put a new to me used radiator in my car, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to drain the coolant from the drain hole in either position and I don’t want it to suddenly break free when it gets up to pressure and I’m driving and empty the coolant. Which position...

I have recently had the dreaded two second chain rattle on my OM642 (E350 CDI) but after the two seconds it would run sweet as a nut. I did some reading figured it couldn't hurt to change the tensioner, so after making the trip in my wife's car to the local dealer, replaced the tensioner (the...

Hi all, I'm having a spot of bother with my 2009 E350. It went into limp mode yesterday and the check engine light is now on. It seems to have been doing more DPF regens recently so I thought it may have been the differential pressure sensor for the DPF again, similar symptoms to when that...

Hi all, have an issue with our old C270, I think I may have diagnosed the fault as a valve issue but wondering if it may be a timing issue. There is what seems to be a misfire and a chuffing sound from within the inlet manifold, this gets much louder when the air pipe is removed from the EGR...

Hi all, I can't seem to find information anywhere about how to adjust the parking brake cable on my 2009 W212 E Class. It failed its taxi test today on the parking brake holding ability and my garage can't get me in in time for work booked in. I have cleaned and adjusted the shoes and the...

Hi all, I started having an issue today in my 2009 E350 CDI with 140,000 miles on it, my drive into work was fine, 25 mins wish with A roads and motorway, shifting and power was fine. I stopped the engine for about 5-10 minutes and ever since then it will not shift to the next gear until...

Hi all, I have recently purchased a 2009 E350 cdi with the NTG 4 comand unit. I have many tracks purchased on iTunes however the unit will only play tunes ripped from CDs and nothing that was purchased through iTunes which is quite frustrating. I have also tried Bluetooth streaming from iPhone...

Hi all, I am currently running an 03 C270 which I generally maintain myself and have done inlet manifold modification, alternator, high pressure fuel pump seals, and a few suspension components plus other bits. I am having to change the car due to my job and do roughly 40,000 miles per year, I...

I'm looking at changing my car (currently a 2003 C270) which is coming to a regulated age limit soon. I cover between 30,000 and 50,000 miles per year and need something to last me for 6-7 years due to purchase cost and have a budget of about £11,000 to £12,000. Am I expecting too much from...

Hi all, I'm having an issue with my C270. We have been away for the last two and a half weeks, when we got back on Tuesday my battery was nearly dead and would not start so I jumped it from my wife's car and it eventually started. I went and did a bit of shopping and it started without a...

Hi all, just done the swirl flap and EGR deletes, loads of fuel getting to the injectors but won't fire, any suggestions on what to try? Many thanks

Hi all, I have a 2003 C270CDI and I have recently been getting black oily / greasy deposits over the back of the car, obviously from the exhaust. What could this be? I also seem to have an oil leak somewhere around the Turbo and the separator I think needs replacing as it seems to be leaking...
