assistance

Hi everyone! Since I can't stop thinking about my C63, that's still 2 months away, I've started wondering about COMAND. As I understand it from the MB website, all C63s come with COMAND as standard, the optional extra is COMAND online, which basically gives online connectivity for help with...

My Vito hadn't been used for a few weeks over the Christmas period. My experience of large Mercedes diesel engines is that they can be a little stuffy if not used for a while (esp in the winter). On Saturday, I started the Vito and set off only to find the 'Engine Management Light' was on...

yet another fault on our car, love it to bits but am getting fed up now & wondering what else will go wrong on it. just over 4 years old with only 28k miles & this will be about the 10th issue with 'something'...:( had a search on here & it seems a common issue, before i take it anywhere & get...

May seem a daft question, but I am new to my W211, and am 'disappointed' to find the car feels still feels heavy despite the dealers being unable to find anything wrong. The reason for the question is that I know that Skoda Octavia VRSs for example, have 'hidden menus' in their ECUs that allow...

Good Morning to all. I have in the past owned many Mercedes' ranging from a '98 C180 and a '01 C240 to a 53 Plate E270 CDI which I bought new. In between this, I also had an ML270 CDI manual which I bought new in 2002. I recently changed over from Mercedes to BMM in 2008 for a brand new 525d...

Try to start the car after it was parked up for 2 weeks. dead as a dodo. called MB assist and they sent out a very pleasent chap (in a nice R class). he was very helpful and managed to get the battery changed under warranty. good to see good service still exists!

Can anyone add the number plate "GEN 1" to this photo please. its just for a laugh with a friend and I haven't got photoshop anymore! many thanks:)

2004 Mercedes C200 CDi. I have a fluid leak on the right hand side of the engine bay. What is the component on the just to the right of the engine bay? (Glow plug side) that has a couple of pipes coming out of it? And where do I check the fluid levels for it? Thanks in advance Rob

Hi, This is my issue: 1. From cold start, my steering feels fine. Slight excessive noise when moving steering wheel, but feels ok. 2. When car is up to temperature, and car is at idle, steering feels heavy to the point that there is no assistance, i can move the wheel 20 degrees say and...

Hi all, Im new to the forum but not new to the Mercedes marque! I have a C230 Kompressor (1998/ S Reg). I wish to put some new alloy wheels onto my car and would like to know what are the correct tyre and wheel sizes in order to obtain a staggered look, I will be going for a set of AMG...

A quick question... On Saturday I pick up my 'new to me' car and it's fitted with the COMAND 2.0 system from 2001. The older COMAND units that use the 'DX' Teleatlas discs had a TMC receiver built in. I've searched and read a few threads that say it's a bit limited, in that you have to be...

Hi, I'am totally new to the world of MB so please bear with me. I recently bought a 1997 E200 with 173k miles on it and it has a sparse service history , this doesn't bother me too much as the body and electrics are good and the engine I can work on . Recently i have noticed a problem when...

'Finally,something I can compliment North American Mercedes Benz about! In any area of the United States,if your Mercedes: 1.Exhausts it's fuel supply...Roadside Assistance will deliver up to 3 gallons of fuel to your breakdown location. 2.Suffers a...

My wife is the main driver of our E320cdi and when we bought it I was told that the MB 30 year breakdown cover (it has Full MBSH) would cover punctures. e.g. fitting the spare, not repairing the puncture. I want to be sure that this really is the case (as I don't trust sales people - no offence...

A buddy of mine has an x reg S Type Jag with Sat Nav. Does anyone have any idea what type it would be and if there are newer discs available. I think it is probably only CD not DVD, maybe wrong. I have tried finding a forum like our on Jags, but no luck. The only forum I found had way out of...

I am ashamed to admit that I may have been scammed (Ebay). While it is early days yet I am very suspicious of the so called courier service who as of today have failed to deliver the 'goods'. I wonder if any of the experts here could expose this organisation as a scam outfit: A1 Parcels...

If anyone can help before dark, I would be grateful! Car is W124 300TD. Problem following reinstalling a recharged battery. Nothing works - not even lights! I have noticed that the shorter lead from the positive battery terminal is not attached to anything, but I have not detached it! I...

My wife decided that for part of my Christmas present she would buy me a Mercedes Fleece or jacket to replace the one I live in! She unwisely decided to visit our local dealer who having asked her what she wanted kept her waiting standing at the parts counter for half an hour before telling...

I have been fortunate to find some rear pass door blinds for my W210. Does anyone understand the MB instructions enough to fit these for me at the gtg. I could be enticed into supplying alcoholic beverage or drinking vouchers for any assistance. I shall have the mandatory medicinal hip flask...
