failure

So the well known often happens electric seat module failure has decided to come on my C230K Coupe - everything works still but it drains the battery overnight as it doesn't shut down and hence in the morning the car battery is dead. Anyway the part number is A203 820 1626 and whilst I can...

Hi guys, my c 250cdi is in for an A service and the dealer called to say there is an oil leak and oil is dripping onto the crank shaft. The car is still under warranty but they've said that Mercedes have refused to pay for it under warranty and are classing this as wear and tear. The car is...

So my C32 AMG is sick. It suddenly ran really rough, lost compression and power and it turns out that one of the exhaust lobes on the camshaft has turned out of position. Mercedes want over £900 inc VAT for a new one, which is way more expensive than I thought it might be, or indeed what it...

My '93 220CE started making unfamiliar noises - sounded like the exhaust was leaking (but also a but rattle-y). I was slightly surprised because last June I paid £550 for new rear + centre sections (still under warranty). So I took it back to the place where the earlier work was done, they...

I bought a brand new key fob for my SL55 from MB in April last year & now doesn't work!! I hardly ever use it as I always use the Key Card & it looks brand new. It's always stored with my other car keys which all work fine as well as the other spare key fob I have. This is the later version...

Hi all, as per the title both my front seats have stopped working, dont have a clue where to look to check fuses...except main board under the bonnet. Is there anything obvious that I am missing? They aren`t fully electric, use lever underneath to move base back and forth, switches on side to...

While driving my C220 W204 a warning came up saying "check engine oil when next refuelling". Because the engine started to sound rough I drove the four miles to the main dealer very gently. The engine did not overheat nor was there a warning of low oil pressure. However, the engine required a...
