I'm still getting used to my new (to me) E240.
If you floor it, it seems that the power is automatically lifted for gear changes.
Is this the case? To save on the gearboxes clutches? Didn't do this on my old (lamented) C200k, the power kept on though the gear changes.
Hi, I have asked before, however … I’ve fitted an Alpine Head Unit into my 2005 SL350 (R230) where the FM reception is nowhere as good as the original. I received some excellent advice from ‘Richard’ concerning the feed to the Audio Gateway (thanks again), but I want to check whether I have...
I have a sticky caliper to change on our other car (non MB) and thought since I'd be disconnecting the brake line I may as well change the fluid and possibly the rear flexi hose too.
Obviously I would crimp the pipe, change the caliper and then bleed it through the nipple but do I need to do...
Hi I have a 2004 Vaneo automatic. I have no record of an atf change and sometimes feel the fluid is a bit tired, Firstly does anyone know the correct fluid? (I hear you all saying go to the mb dealer but they have tried to sell me the wrong fluid for autos before and frankly don't seem to know...

Torx disc retaining screw size?
Rear caliper...
Hi all,
I serviced my car at Mercedes dealers in Coventry in March this year.
I happened to check my oil over the weekend (I should have done this before) and it is only just above the minimum. My question is have they been a bit tight and not filled up more? maybe more to the maximum! I will...
So here is my SEC before with the AMG Penta wheels and after with Lorinser RS90, got 20mm spacers coming for the rears.
It has been lowered but I might lower a little more on the rear self levelling system. (need opinions as im never satisfied with my own cars and cant tell if im just being too...
My E220CDI had the auto transmission fluid changed at 44,000 miles. It has now done 89,000 miles. The next service is a few months away, should I have the fluid changed again, or is it a once only thing? I am planning to keep the car long term.

Gents, just bought myself a project c124 320, which had a loom Change in the past few years, but no invoice to provide it (seller said they'd look for it ). Found a spare plug as shown below just to the right of the t-stat, can anyone tell me where this would normally go as there doesn't appear...
Changed my atf and filter last weekend.
When I removed the sump plug I got 1.25L of fluid out that shouldn't have been there!
The result is it's a bit more lively and doesn't feel like driving through syrup when "coasting" looks like the mpg has also gone up by almost 5% too
Happy days...
hi - how the hell do you change the rear light bulb in my w204 c220 amg sport. this is your normal rear light for night driving - there are two strips on each side. the only bulbs on the bulb holder attachment when you unlock are brake and reversing lights. there appears to be two very small...
Has anyone done their own oil change on a W204 with the M271 engine.
Book says oil capacity is 5.5 L I've done a couple of oil changes now and if I vacuum out the oil and put a carefully measured 5.5 L back it comes to a little below half way on the dipstick. I'm not worried about running with...
