Hi, is it worth reducing the oil periodicity from 15000 to say 10000 to help maintain the engine in top form. Currently using mobil1 ESP oil and it doesn't particularly seem very robust, unlike the Castrol edge I used to put in my Beemer diesel (prior to jumping on the Mercedes bandwagon!)

hi all. of late I felt my car was lacking a certain 'go' and couldnt help feeling perhaps the air filters might need changing... so, went up to mercedes and bought the set (MA642 094 0404). only got a 15% discount :( but hey ho... £23.80 later; I was back home and ready for a rumble...

Hi, My friends w211 e280cdi is a little hesitant to start although does fine after turning over a few times. There is a lot of white smoke on start up too and the engine idles a little roughly. This seems to clear when the car warms up. The glow plug light goes out as it should and does not...

Treated myself to a nice 2007 E280 CDi sport estate a few weeks ago. Trying to check the engine oil level using the menu (as per handbook), engine off, ignition on, but doesn't seem to have a check oil setting on the display. It just cycles past the external temp, miles to next service and run...

I went with my son to MB Northampton to see the pothole damage to two front wheels and tyres following a new diff not solving a noisy rear end. The wear to the near side rear was down to 3mm on the inner part but was around 6mm on the outer after seven thousand miles. This indicates a camber...

As above, and wow what a lovely car. Can't get my head roundthe computer settings yet though, just got to learn how to store the radio stations?:rock:

We have a glow plug light that is lighting on after start up for 30 seconds (but had gone out before start). On a recent visit a dealer told us it was plug no. 6 and quoted roughly £100 to fit. They also said that they found it easier to replace all plugs when doing this (I'm sure they do at a...

Hi all, seeking some advice please if anyone can help. i took my e280cdi sport for a check as it was making a creaking noise on turning. it turned out to be a faulty strut so both front struts replaced under warranty. further than that upper and lower front arms replaced as well for various...

Hi all, hoping you guys can help. i recently bought a 280cdi sport 211. before that i had a 210 320cdi. The 280 is much smoother than the old 320 at least. however the 211 320 is probably even smoother (never tried it cos was getting too good a deal on the 280) However i think there is...

Got into the car this morning to go to the shops and got prompted on my display that servicing was due in 29 days! Now this car is only 3+ months old (Register June 08') and only done 6000 miles. What's up?!?

Anyone that says it's an old mans car must be too young to appreciate it!

I am about to change the oil and filter on my V6 E280CDi 2006. When I bought the filter at the Mercedes garage I found that it was just the paper insert and 2 rubber washers. Is there anything I should be prepared for when changing the filter, and is it easily accessible from underneath the car...
