    Sunroof DIY service

    What’s the best thing to lubricant the sunroof tracks? I’ve got a 2011 W212 pan roof. Mine is really struggling to move. I tried WD40 as per YT vids but it’s no better. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pan roof slight leak

    After cleaning my car the other day, with a hose, and whilst parked slightly downhill, I went out in it the next day and opened the sun screens. I noticed a small amount of water dripped down at the front. Never done it before. It’s been parked at the airport the last 6 days and was dry when I...

    Music Storage issues

    I’ve tried to copy CD’s on to the cars hard drive but without success. The copy option is greyed out. I’ve not got an SD card so haven’t tried that. It says in the manual you can do it but I can’t. Any experts care to advise please? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Changing Rear lights to Audi LEDs

    I really like the new rear LED’s on the Audi A6 avant with the strip indicators that flash in a linear way. I’ve spoken to my mechanic who’s also a top professional fabricator. He says he can graft them on to my E350CDi estate no problem. I think it would give my car a unique look and confuse...

    ML 320cdi in limp mode parts order change!

    I’ve done a scan and it points to Turbo Actuator, MAF Sensor, ERG Valve and IAT sensor. Would it be best to change the lot or one at a time. It’s my friends car. I had the same on my E320CDi. I changed the lambda sensor and actuator but it made no difference. I only fixed it once I fitted a...

    W212 2012 facelift v 09 - 11

    I notice there are a few differences between the models. When I was looking to buy I saw 2012 model but settled on a Dec 10 as it was 5k cheaper and had a similar spec. Apart from the interior trim, LED display, Comand, DRL, stop/start function what else is there. I’m not so keen on the newer...

    Auto tailgate open/closer

    Does it cause a problem opening and closing it manually. It’s happened a few times by others not realising it’s electric. I’m sure MB will have thought it through so the motor disengages when it’s pushed shut? Won’t they? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Eclass Estate less capacious.

    I note the new W213 load capacity is less than the W212. 640 / 1820 v 695 / 1950. I know it’s only 7% but it seems to be heading away from its roots. I recall trying to fit a sofa in the back of my W211 and it wouldn’t go through the opening. We assumed it would fit as our business partner had...

    CDi and CGi

    Bit of useless info but did you know what the letters stand for: - CDi = Controlled Diesel Injection CGi = Charged Gasoline Injection Always worth knowing if you go on The Chase!!![emoji851] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rest function

    My last E320CDi had this button on the heater controls but my E350CDi doesn’t. I spotted it on the E63 AMG of the same year which got me thinking. I wonder why MB deleted it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DRL’s off on sidelights E class 09-13

    Anyone know why the DRL’s go off when sidelights are selected? Seems a bit odd. I like to have my clocks illuminated during the day as they’re so dark but I want to keep the DRL’s on too!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    W212 Sport Estate ride / handling

    I’m starting to get used to the handling of my E350CDi Sport estate now. The steering is lighter than my old 320 and it seems to have more body roll, however, it’s still quite sharp round the bends. The ride is quite pliant and firm. How do you find it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Driving in fog

    I drove in quite thick fog last night in my E350CDi with xenon ILS. The front fog light setting is superb. The beam is adjusted accordingly. Way better than my old separate fog lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does anyone actually use this? I haven’t used it yet but just wondered what the consensus of opinion is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Comand nav update

    Has anyone bought this and self installed? Seems good value for £99! Does the disc go in the dash slot or elsewhere? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    W212 xenon headlights

    Are my inside lights meant to be like in the pic. I would have thought they would be bright white like the main lights? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    220/250d twin turbo, 350d single turbo

    Just wondering why the 4 pot Diesel engines get twin turbos and the V6 gets a single. My first experience of a 3.0 litre diesel was a 2003 530d. It had a great take off but narrow power band. My next car was a 535d with twin turbos. This drove way better with power available across the whole rev...

    LED DRL’s wobbly W212 pre face lift

    I have the L shaped DRL’s. Whilst cleaning the car I noticed they move a bit. Are these meant to be tight or a bit floaty? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    E350CDi 265 estate MPG today

    I did a 200 odd mile trip today without trying for any economy record. Mix of town, Road works stop start, 90mph motorway bursts and foot down acceleration. Averaged 38.7 mpg. I think that’s impressive for 3litre, 2 tonne load lugger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
