Hi All, Some of the threads on hear have got me thinking, especially as I have a problem with my 5sp auto on the s211 E320cdi (53-reg). Most places including MB seem to think that you need a new gearbox or torque converter, if the oil and filter change makes no difference! My car only when...

Hello, I had a problem with my sunroof because I can´t open it in one touch like before. When I try to resyncronize it, and hold the button in the pop up position, it goes up and if you keep hold the button, it will be a little more up. I think that this is the problem with my resynchro. Is this...

Only in the last few days I've noticed the following: when I engage my main beam, the dashboard display dims for a split second but it is noticeable, which is why it caught my eye. Also, when I'm at a standstill (foot on brake, car in "D") and the engine is fully warmed up, the engine is revving...

Hi Sorry but I need advice again. Over the weekend, I got my car (1990 W129 300 SL - US Spec) out of her winter hibernation - started first go, gave her a wash/polish, checked out levels and tyre pressure and was looking forward to topless motoring. BUT on my first run out I suffered two...

HI. I have just bought a CLK 230K which a few days after getting it developed some weird electrical problems. From time to time the drivers seat won't move, the drivers door mirror won't adjust and the drivers window won't work. On one occasion my wife locked the car with the fob at night but in...

I have just swapped my W211 E320cdi avantgarde estate for a W212 avantgarde estate. So far not liking the W212 as much if I am honest with myself. The steering is the thing that is really letting it down. I don't have the 'direct steering' option on my car, I have the variable ratio...

Hi everyone, I am new to the mb club forum and apart from my newbie post in the introductions this is my first main post. My weakness is auto electrics and really need some help and guidance please. I believe the problems started with the glow plug control unit. Several times during one...

So I'm cruising on the motorway and all electrics fail, car shuts down instantly. I get out, loosen the battery terminals and wiggle them about. The car starts up again. This has been happening on and off for weeks. So as I was wiggling the terminals one day, I noticed sparking from the...

Wonder if anyone can shed some light on this for me. I bought my first Mercedes the other day and all seems fine, very pleased. Gear changes are smooth and the only problem I had found was at very slow speeds in moving traffic it feels like it changes down to first with a bit of a jolt, more...

I've bought an '99 E300 TD Avantgarde estate and have discovers a couple of little things that are dulling the otherwise glorious feeling I get just looking at it. 1. The N/S folding door mirror is very slow to fold and unfold. 2. The interior light doesn't come on when the doors are open. I...

This should be an easy one. Can anyone advise me how to disconnect the electrical connectors please. I have pushed it, pulled it & wriggled it about but it stays connected, there must be a secret.

I hope someone can help me out with my problem; electrical mirrors are not working. I checked out the fuses (no 24 20 amps)they were alright. so what can be the problem ? motors not working ? or is the mirror adjusting knob not working right ? how can i test whether the adjusting knob is broken...

Can anyone tell me where I connect into the can bus when fitting tow bar electrics on a 2010 C class Estate Sport. Did they fit a connector behind the bumper or is inside car, if it is inside how does the cable get inside ? As I understand it you buy a box which connects somewhere to the...

Unexpected electrical glitch On the way home this evening, I had an opportunity to test the kick-down operation, with unexpected results. As the engine RPM went from approx. 1000 to 5000, the headlights went out, COMAND went off & the car hesitated. Within a second, everything is back to...
