Greeting All,
I would like to dip into the cumalitve knowledge banks for some help please.
Last week I had the "Check brake wear" warning come on and so duly had a quick look and ordered a set of MB rear pads from our friendly Newcastle dealer.
When fitting them (an easy job by the way) I...
We're just looking to order our first ever MB. It will be a medium wheelbase standard roof 316 Automatic converted to a drive from wheelchair/interchangeable front passenger wheelchair accessible conversion.
Has anyone else gone down this route, either private purchase or through Motability...
In March 2001, we flew to Bremen, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz, to collect a new C220 Classic automatic in dark blue. Some of these C-classes were beginning to be made in South Africa, so it was a pity they didn’t offer to fly us down there. But we had a nice break in Bremen and a tour of the...
Hello all,
Quick intro, bought my 1st Mercedes as above 33000 miler.
Getting used to it, good so far.
A quick question, the 3 seats in the rear symbol appears briefly when moving off then goes out. Is this normal?
Thanks
I read in my owners manual about a hold activated by the brake pedal so if you press it twice hard it will hold like a hand brake so that you can take your foot off the brake pedal without putting it in neutral. Say when you are at traffic lights. Is this an option and does anyone have...
Hi,
I am looking to do an transmission oil, filter and pan seal change on my early 07 plate W211, E280, 3.0 v6, diesel, 7g auto.
I can’t seem to find the transmission dipstick which some models have. I’ve taken off the under body cover and checked all around and there doesn’t seem to be...
Guys
Had my IPE fitted for a couple of months.
I do enjoy the soundtrack and the valves.
However one aspect is that I can't seem to work the auto mode.
The place that fitted it reckon that the auto mode isn't achievable and the fob only has the auto button as it's a generic IPE fob.
I...
I've only done 900ish miles in my 179,000 mile fsh E270cdi and I don't know when the auto fluid and filter was last done. It's a 2004 E270cdi.
There is a bit of a whine when the car is pulling away or under load and I'm wondering if this could be the auto box complaining about the state of...
Hi
The engine managment light came on a couple of weeks ago, cleared the fault but it came back on again, had it plugged into star and component y3/8s1 selection range sensor is defective is the fault, car is driving fine at the moment, any ideas?
I'm struggling to confirm how often the fluid in the 7g autogearbox on a r172 should be changed.
I've just acquired a 350 registered August 2011, with 24,000 miles. And although I have a copy of the digital service record up to June 2015, (it is not clear if it was serviced in June 2016), I...
Hi there fellow members
I have a 55 plate clk270cdi with 125k on the clock. Today I went on a long run to the coast & back approx. a 200 mile round trip, on the way there we had no problems at all but on the way back I noticed that the revs were high when cruising along & also the cruise...
Gauging interest on my CLC Sport as we have taken delivery of a new car. Great little car with full history. Only 65k miles and 2 previous owners. Last serviced by PCS (Olly) in September including transmission service and full MB previous to that. Overall good condition but wheels could with a...
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum having only owned my E280cdi 2009 estate for a couple of months.
On the whole I'm pretty happy with the car but it does have a couple of issues.
Firstly. Although it has full MB dealer history it had only had 1 gearbox service done at 45K it's now done 110k...
Hi
I took my 2006 CLK350 petrol for service, and asked if they could take a look at transmission fluid level. When the car is cold first thing in morning, for the first 100 yards or so the car revs but seems to stick in low gear. It then frees itself, and no further problems during the day...
Having decided to get rid of the A160 , I thought I would try to cure the "F"ing display fault . Removed handbrake console, took the pcb out of the PRND unit and sprayed it with electrical contact cleaner . Made sure it was totally dry , reassembled the unit and started up. Dash indicated P...
Finally had the Autowatch Ghost installed to my car yesterday.
Read about it here:cool:
In a nutshell, it's a very good immobiliser (a bit like the old Clifford blackjack) but instead of pressing the blackjack button you simply press buttons anywhere on the car to disable it. So you enter...
I have no owners manual for my car. If anyone owns similar, "Elegance 2002 model" (battery under rear seats , 2 extra fold down seats within luggage area, roof bars etc) and would be willing to photocopy , i would pay for time and effort. The manuals on EBAY and the like are too variable and...
