e200

I,ve read most of the posts here regarding this issue and I,m getting most confused. So I,d be grateful if anybody can help me. How exactly do I test the viscous fan is working properly. If the fan stops when the engine is running, does that mean it,s broken, or is that what it,s supposed to do...

1994 E200 W124, engine often revs at around 2500-3000 when I put into neutral. Happens quite often. Most of the time it will come down to around 1000 after 5-10 seconds but every now and then it just keeps revving. It is getting really annoying... I took it to a mechanic the other day and was...

Where is the switch in the boot lid of an E200 estate which tells the car it is open and activiates the interior lights? They are all pretty apparent on the doors but I can not find the boot lid one. Thanks.

Hi My key fob only works when I am very close to the door. It always seems slow and needs to be exactly directed at the door. Is this normal? Is there any way to increase the range of the fob? Thanks MFK
