Star says Glow Plug number 1 is open circuit on my daughter's W169 A180CDI year 2006. It has done 86K miles, and the question is, should I replace one or all four?
Is it a difficult DIY job or should I leave it to the pros?
The radiator in the 500 v8 seems to have one extra cooling circuit at the bottom.
Does anybody happen to know off the top of their head what its for? I assume its for the transmission fluid, but then again there are some strange designs out there, utilizing the secondary cooling loop in the...
My towbar man (who has suddenly returned from holiday and is more interested now I also need a towbar on the other car) tells me that Mercedes use only one wire for tail lights and brake lights, varying the voltage to brighten the bulb as needed.
Consequently any time you brake, sidelights...
Hi All,
I have a 2006 w203 C class 180K and started getting this error about 4 months ago so I changed the lambda sensor between the cat and the manifold, this seemed to fix the problem until last week when the error come back and now comes back on every few days, are there any other things...
Got a fault listed on my nearside mirror on the demister circuit.
Upon striping down I find I have a permanent 12V on the heater wires where as on the the Drivers (offside) power is only energised when instructed to via STAR.
I assume that both mirrors demister circuits are controlled via...
Hi folks,
I'm still very new to the fold.
My new-to-me C32 Estate is fitted with parking sensors F+R, but it doesn't function. I understand if there is a fault with it that it show red bars. Mine shows nothing at all and is dead as a doornail. I suspect it is either disconnected, or a fuse...
Bought a key off ebay with an A1 case (the case of my regular key is badly cracked and on the verge of disintegrating); how do I get the circuit boards out of the key cases so I can put mine into the good case?

Never mind the usual marbles that drivers complain of, what about all that sand!
I think the cars are the old 2 seater Minardi F1 cars that were built quite a few years ago.
Stupidly I shorted what appearsto be the Interior blower fan circuit as this is now not working, no probs I thought change the fuse. On checking the fuse diagram there is no fuse, so does anyone have a circuit diagram or know how the circuit is protected? Is it a relay?, if so which one?:doh:

Found this site which gives details of Scorpion alarm circuits. Many early 90s Mercedes models were dealer retrofitted with scorpion alarms before they were integrated into the main wiring system in later models. There have been many enquiries about these old alarms so hope this helps. ;)...
[ECU] Short circuit to positive -> What does it mean?
Hello experts,
I have sent my ECU to German for repair. When the ECU has been repaired and returned, I asked my Merc Specialist Mechanic to install the ECU.
But there is an error sounds like this:
"IFZ: Short circuit to positive"...
Disabling the EGR.
I have read articles on various forums about disabling the EGR primarily to minimise sooting up of the inlet manifold but I believe it can also give a slight increase to performance. Apart from the risk of increasing emissions in oxides of nitrogen, is there any other...
Hi I'm having a VITO 112 fitted with an alarm, but unfortunatley one of the fuses has blow. I need technical diagrams or even a manual in PDF or anything to get this issue going forward. I don't see any helpful info on the mercedes site can some on give me a link ? It's getting a bit infuriating...
