I'm planning to service my transmission at home but have two queries before I start: 1) I'm told that MB has "approved/recommended" the use of fluids listed on sheet 236.14 for gearboxes 722.3 and 4. As fluids listed on sheets 236.9 and .10 are getting scarce, the newer fluids are apparently a...

Did the ABC fluid and filter change on my 2006 SL500 today, car has done 49000 miles. Followed the on-line instructions and it was a very simple and straightforward job. One thing I noticed though was that there is a code on top of the filter which I'm assuming is a manufacturer date code, on...

So I took the SL out today as it's been sat for a few weeks while I've been away. Cold but sunny so great for a quick blast in the country. On the way home I get an error message from left parking bulb. No problem I think. Plenty of time to take it out, get a new one from Halfords and fit it. No...

Dear all, I have a 2005 W209 - facelifted and I am looking for an upgrade for my Audio20. A friend told me that he bought an Android multimedia and it flooded one of the CAN modules so the car was not able to start and therefore I was looking for NTG 2.0 or 2.5 but what I saw was not really...

When I had my VRS remapped, I changed the oil every 10k as I read that it is better than the 18k longlife service interval. If I were to get my e350 mapped, would it be wise to change at 10k vs 15k bearing in mind I do 25k per year? I am happy to do an oil/filter change myself in between...

I have just bought A CLC 220 CDI Sport 2010 and having plugged in an OBD reader and even though there was no MIL warning code P2237 was showing. O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 open circuit. This is either a break in the wiring or the heater element has failed. Here is the procedure to replace the...

Evening All, I've a 2008 W204 C180K and I'm sure the idler / tensioner of the serpentine belt is the cause of the noise (Like a squeak) from under the hood so I'd like to change it out. Has anyone done it? I'm thinking it should not be a big job as the engine is only 4 cylinders so I should...

Hi All, Just acquired a 55 C220 CDI with 65,000 miles and most service history by MB Dealership. I want to change the thermostat on the car and have searched this forum for info and tips and would like to clarify a few points: 1 - If I remove the thick pipe going into the thermostat...

Hi Has anyone on here done there own oil and oil filter change on a e55k? I've been reading up and it says there are 2x drain plugs? Does it matter which one gets drain 1st? sorry if its a stupid question, just thought it was worth a ask:D

Hi there, I have a CLS350 Grand Edition from the UK that is now in New Zealand. I am wanting to change the DVD from Region 2 to Region 4. Is this something a user can do, or does it need to be done by a Mercedes outlet. My stereo I think is the 2009 version with the screen down by the controls...

Should the standard B service on a C63 include a air filter(s) change? Just had ours serviced and prior to doing so whipped out the BMC's and put the standard paper ones in. I did this as I didn't want to risk then throwing away the BMC's. I marked the paper ones with a couple of dots (Iknow I...

I did this on my last 211, But cant remember if you have to re calibrate the windows etc or does the main battery keep the circuit going?

Hi guys I've got a 2015 E63S for the first time the other night I had a full car, all the temps were normally but driving spirited in S+ the gear change from 2nd to 3rd was really violent and not smooth at all, it was even kicking in traction control at the gear change. All other gear changes...
