Change alloy colour to metallic...
Hello all. The Oil Light is glowing Amber continuously. The Oil level is correct and there are no Oil leaks. The car has only covered 65k.
It sounds like a faulty Oil Level Sender Unit to me but could it be something else?
Where is the Oil Level Sender Unit located and how easy or hard is...
I have replaced the PSE under the rear seat but the car will still roll down all the windows and open the moonroof/sunroof as soon as I exit the car. The door lock pins will also go up and down while driving. I have already tinkered with the door switches and those are not the issue. I have been...

Wouldn't you just believe it. Just put my 1999 W210 E240 Avantgarde up for sale (AMG low profile wheels), connected the battery to start and run everything through, and the rear electric window failed.
The window went up and down twice so I could synchronise the one shot up and down, on the...

This car is a full automatic, but does it still have a clutch. Have the chance of one really cheap, and it would be ideal for my daughter. But on a test drive the car jerka and sounds/feels like a clutch is slipping
Hey, im new to this forum and never owned a Mercedes yet. I've been looking for a c250 td 94-00 and i was wondering what kind of mpg you can expect from an automatic and whether it is any different from a manual. Also how often an automatic gearbox needs serviced. Thanks in advance
Hi, As per title above.
I know this sounds like a silly question but I've looked all over in the cockpit for the diagnostic socket location. Could someone point me in the right direction on where I can connect my diagnostic reader.?:wallbash:
Thanks
