hold

OK, last random thread, I'll try and keep all my 212 questions in one place from now on :) Manual for the E (interactive manual, I haven't checked the paper one), mentions a HOLD function, which basically puts the brakes on and holds the car until you move away (or do one of a few other...

Hi All, My S211 was parked up for a week at the airport whilst we were on holiday. When I returned to the car, it started up all as normal but when I engaged Drive and release the parking brake, as I lifted my foot from the brake pedal the car DIDN'T begin rolling forward. I ended up...

I have a CLK230K 2001 model. I have never had any problems with it until tyhe last couple of weeks. The car was idle for six months as I was travelling a lot. When I tried to start car a couple of weeks ago the battery was flat. I arranged to have the car picked up and serviced (B) and MOT'd...

Just a warning really. My Wife went to Poland from Luton with WizzAir and lots of things were stolen from her hold luggage. We have nice travel case (too nice?) with very good padlock (bag and padlock from Briggs and Rilley). Someone really needed tool to brake the padlock OR TSA key. (btw. Only...

I have the MB special fuel can but not the bolt that holds it in to my w124 estate. Does anyone know where I can get one from - or even the part number? I understand they are no longer available from MB. Thanks

Now, I appreciate that racing stripes and those oh so cool Lexus lights are more likely to reduce the value of a car than anything, but... Am I deluding myself by thinking that adding a Comand system to a car not so endowed would make it more appealling than a vehicle without? Or... would...

2002 W210 I went for a mooch around this dealers stock and saw the above car (not my postcode in the link btw) back in February when it was on (and still is) Pistonheads for £6995. I called the dealer again today to ask if they could do anything on the Autotrader £5995 price as I felt that...

Hiya all Been meaning to ask for a while. My SBC hold doesnt come on. when i press the brake hard after the car has stopped it come up with this message, " SBC hold unavailable". i have a star diagnostic print out and there are no faults with the SBC. Its a pre facelift 05 plate car...

I have read the manual for the SBC hold feature many times and I have only ever successfully got it to work once. I hear the pump working away at various times but can never seem to get it to hold. I am pulling up to a stop, applying break lightly, then when i stop pushing the pedal in harder...

Im a bit perplexed with the SBC Hold function on my W211 E270. When the car is stopped either uphill or downhill by simply pressing the brake pedal firmly the SBC Hold function should engage? The problem seems to be sometimes it will work and other times no matter how hard u depress the brake...

I discovered something really useful on my E320 the other day. It is probably in the manual, but who consults a manual for things like brakes!! When I pull up at a junction and the car comes to a complete stop if I press down harder on the brake a light comes up on the dash saying HOLD, the...

Hi apologies for being a total newbie.. My parents have just bought a manual shift E220 Elegance (Diesel) from an auction (04 plate) and the car is wonderful. However being new to Benz they (and I) find the parking brake a bit fiddly...That said its no big deal but obviously hill starts...

After months of looking i've managed to find a 190E 2.5-16V brouchere in English! Did have a look at some at the Essen show and the German ones were selling for €15 so i'm happy with the £12 this is going to cost me...

My new (to me) 1999 E320 estate auto refuses to 'hold' on hills, leaving me the choice between rolling back alarmingly or attempting to hold the car using my left foot on the brake. Its predecessor, a 1990 300TE, had no such bother. Tick-over is a tad over 500 rpm and I'm just hoping this...

Hi everyone In my w220, when you hold down the rest button, you get lots of info about the car - oil pressure, temp, exact RPM etc. but does anyone know what all of th readouts are? I do not know if this works in other models, may just be the w220. ps. to change between readouts, press...

Anybody with this feature having problems with it? The reason I ask is that this is/should be a handy feature for anybody, but particularly for me with a manual and a particularly awkward parking space at work. The idea is that you give the brake pedal an extra kick and it engages the brakes...
