This is weird so I'd really appreciate the huge collective knowledge here. CLK 2001 320 coupe - Drivers seat is fully adjustable, electrics work fine going forward but not backwards, neither the seat base or back. However, the memory does work and returns the seat to the pre set position...

Hi all, just to introduce myself, After a trip to Germany last summer and a visit to The Mercedes museum in Stuttgart, I left thinking "I quite fancy a merc next" After pricing up an Audi a5 and a Bmw coupe 3 series, I settled on the mercedes, the dearer option but the one I felt offered the...

Hi there, the adjustment handle for my driver side air vent is broken - up and down motion is possible but not left to right. The adjustment slide seems really loose and 'rattly'. I assume I need to replace the entire air vent assembly? If so, can somebody provide removal instructions for this...

I get now and then recommendations to convert the original engine management in M104 E320 to Megasquirt. The more I study the subject, the more I find people having difficulties in tuning in working specs for daily driving. Racing and high revs is different. Does anybody have a Megasquirt in...
