failure

Hi guys posting on behalf of my friend he has a 2008 c63 car has covered just over 43k miles but has come up with a couple of faults such as no power steering, esp disabled, abs disabled, cruise control disabled, tpms disabled and engine management light. i read some of the fault codes with my...

Had my 2008 C320 CDI since Oct last year I am the 2nd owner and it has just gone through 40'000 miles from new. Used my jack to remove my drivers side rear wheel yesterday, even used a piece of wood underneath it to ensure it was secure. Just as I was removing my wheel the jack failed and...

I installed a cheap reversing camera into the ntg4.5 COMAND in my C Class and 12 months later I've suddenly got a black screen, still getting the "Check Entire Surroundings" message. Is there anything in the wiring that can go wrong or is it just a symptom of the camera itself failing? There's...

anyone had this tensioner fail? This may be useful to those that are handy with a spanner! Mine recently developed a rumble and I could visibly see the pulley wobbling when the engine was running. Priced up a new tensioner which worked out around £130 online, however I decided to dismantle...

Hi, First of all thank you all for reading. I spent half day reading posts on SBC pumps and similar but I'm still confused so I just wanted to have few opinions before I get the car to indy. I'm happy owner of E320, W211, 53 plate, 120k. Bought it year and half ago and had no problems except...

My s210 failed the mot today due to corroded brake pipes. Although I didn't spot this before hand, I'm not unduly surprised on a car of this age (1999). Anyway, funny thing is that they told my missus that they couldn't give an estimate for the work. The failure note said: 001 offside...

Nearside Xenon flickering after being lit for a minute or so. Bulb change didn't resolve the issue so new ballast ordered from MB at, frankly, utterly absurd cost. Fitting it will be a game. Airmatic pump smack in the way so the front bumper has to come off. Grinding my teeth at the hideous...

Car has a knocking coming from the nsf, noticeable on poor road surfaces. Was taken to local indie who advised spring was broken which was duly replaced however the knocking still exists... Took it back to the garage who had a look over all suspension components which were found to be sound...

On the way home tonight I had a total water pump failure. I am sure its the pump as I could see (under torch light) the water coming out from the block. Its booked in for repair on Monday with my local garage but I am going to supply the parts. Having had a look on ECP, they don't sate if...

Not knowing much about the workings of bi xenon's, what's the fix for this dip beam failure? Main beam is ok. Cost, easy to change, use gen MB? Will there be a beam colour mismatch meaning I should change both sides? Note the v shaped "dusting" on the 2nd photo, which is on the inside...

First post. Bought 133k S320 with good service history. Car has slipped into limp mode and now is returning el power control failure on dash. I appreciate that there may be many causes of this, but I noticed that the power control error tripped driving to fill up a tank that had just reached the...

Hi I replaced my daughters brake master cylinder on her Kia Picanto about 3 months ago to cure a brake binding problem (common fault it seems). All was fine until 2 weeks ago when she suffered brake failure (pedal travel to the floor) once. I checked system for leaks ( no loss of fluid)...

I have an issue with the interior light not comming on, all the interior lights work when pressed manually however not auto when the doors open, any ideas. Thanks

Hi, I have an N-reg C180 (w202), and have recently had 2 issues spring up either together or within a short timeframe: - The coolant warning light has come on. I've checked the coolant level and everything looks fine, plus I've driven from Reading to Edinburgh and back without issue, so I...

Hi A specialist told me my suspension needed repair, the car is under a T1 warranty (the specialist had no expectation of making the repair so I'm fairly confident in his motives) MB said 'there is play in the suspension but it's not enough to fail an MOT (their own MOT specialists) so...

Hello, my first post , i have V reg C200 and it has a couple of issues . One being the monowiper system which work well and sweeps the full length of the windshield but has started parking 2/3 inches too high , any advice would be a big help,

Whilst driving a malfunction came up on my 2006 W 221 s class , both my rear suspension struts dropped totally, the front was fine, the car was so low that the rear mud flaps were almost on the ground, the car is still under the Mercedes approved used warranty. Can't understand if the pump has...

Hi, first post - I tried to use the search but it doesn't seem to be working... My wife bought a 2008 (MY09) ML320 CDI in June. It's been no end of hassle since then but thankfully the official approved-used warranty has covered most stuff. One thing they won't cover though is a wing mirror...

Hi Everyone The front spring perches on the old E300TD are looking very shabby. They haven't actually failed yet, but failure of one of them is imminent and the other is on its way out. :( This is a common problem with these cars. I know these can be repaired. Is there a standard repair...
