dashboard

Thanks to those who responded to my query last week but I would like some further advice. On my 2000 W202 C280, most of the dashboard warning lights will light up momentarily on turning the ignition key to pos.2 and then extinguish prior to starting the engine. I understand these lights should...

Hi, I'm new to this forum but have a problem with my 2000 W reg C280 W202 which I purchased 3 months ago. When I took it to my local indie for service, they had difficulty resetting the service assist reminder. However, they managed to do it using star and they reset some stored fault codes at...

I have a mercedes vito 108 diesel and for the fourth time i've lost all dashboard lights/instruments. Thay have always come back on after a few hours but not this time.This usually happens after some sort of power failure, ie new battery/ flat battery booster pack start or in this case, new...

I've recently bought a 1996 E280 automatic, and I'm very pleased with it. The only nagging annoyance is the lack of lights behind the fan/heater controls on the dashboard. I read somewhere that bulb(s) could be accessed by pulling off the fan and heater dials. I've removed the controls but...

When getting into the car on the last two [cold] mornings, I've noticed a buzz coming from what appears to be behind the central air vents. This is before I have even put the key in the ignition, and stops when the engine is started. The sound seems to be internal as opposed to external [engine...

Hi I've recently purchased a C220 CDi and happy with the comfort of the car except for one thing - rattles!! Has anyone had a similar rattle coming from the top of the dash near the 'A' post? The sound is very similar to a rattling metal clip than a plastic squeak. Any ideas..... Tony

Dear Guys, I've noted some dirty spot behind the dashboard screen:( I belive it's possible to pull put the dashboard to dismount and clean the screed, should I utilize the two side slot to insert a hooked style steel wire? Will it come out without interface with the tempomat lever...

Its a 1997 E200. Recently every now and again, just suddenly the lights on the dashboard start flashing, ie the oil light battery light etc. and both the speedo and rev meter bounce up and down. eg if I'm doing 50mph, it bounces from 50 to 0 and back again. Any ideas?

I have just purchased a 2000 facelift E200 Kompressor auto and noticed last night that the clock/gear indicator display is faulty. The figures are reading correctly but it is not lighting up like the temp display, has anyone taken out the dash / replaced one of these or do I have to replace the...

My mate has got this error after fitting a tuning box on his C220 CDi. If he takes it out it's ok. Anyone ever had this error. If so please PM me...

Just put one of these in my car - dead easy to fit and does not require holes/dismatling of the dash etc. (I did not even need to use the sticky tape as it slots in spaces quite nicely) Very sturdy too; it's currently holding a Brodit active mount with an iPAQ and satnav sleeve which are no...

I've had my W202 estate for about six months and driven through heavy rain etc without problem. I used a carwash yesterday (it was an emergency!) As i drove out water gushed in on the passenger side through the dashboard. It poured into the footwell, I got home and removed the panneling, when I...

My recently purchased W203 C320 (2000x reg) has what appears to be a common problem in that there is a loud clicking noise from behind the dashboard. It was originally just occurring after the engine was switched off but since the weather turned colder it is happening for a minute or so after...

Hi all, I picked up my S430 on Sunday (private sale). Absolutely lovely car. (so far!!) But can anyone explain why the VIN number is not at the bottom of the passenger side windscreen section. When looking from the outside, you can see the little oval 'cut out' where you would expect to see...

I've recently had the car fully seviced, with new front discs and complete exhaust system. The garage gave me a list of "to do" items, with the bill and I'm in the process of procuring those items. One of them is a new heater matrix. The matrix itself is fairly cheap but installing it will...

I have a 95 E200 W124 estate (2.2 petol automatic) & I would like to replace the 2 front speakers on the dashboard with some better ones. I have had the grills off easyly enough, after looking on a 2CD merc sevice manual I bought off ebay but it is unclear how you can take the old speakers out...

The light on my dashboard display suddenly goes off when I'm driving and the signal indicator lights and the power windows do not work any more.Before all this happens,I usually hear the fan of the AC running even though the AC is not in use.What could be the problem?The radio is sometimes affected.

Hello.... Just had Speedofix come out to me in Milton Keynes today and fix the VERY bad unreadable pixels on the dash of my W202 (2000 W reg)... He was very friendly and provided a good service and a 6 month warranty for the work carried out... His site is...

ok heres the problem When you turn on your lights, the milage and clock readouts normally dim, together with the radio. Id there a fuse or something that could stop this happening? mines stopped dimming and it makes the screen so bright at night it hurts your eyes after a while
