Hi Guys - Does anyone have a guide on how to do a fluid change on the power steering? thanks.

So I had no signal on my nav. Apparently this is quite common - the aerial goes bad. All the threads on here mentioned a Fakra type connector for a replacement receiver. I bought one of these with the intention of connecting it to the back of the COMAND unit. On my CLS it was really, really...

This technique works on my 1986 v126 500SEL. It may work on other models/years, but I have no information on that. One of the few things I dislike about my 500SEL is the original design of the gearbox to move off in second gear. The car feels 'heavy' and less eager away from rest than I...

The problem. You press the pedal to engage the parking brake and it won't stay down. This may or may not have been preceded by the brake sticking on, needing a helping foot to release it, coupled with a floppy release handle. The fault. One end of the spring has come out of the plastic lever...

My ML320 has without doubt been one of the most trouble free cars I have ever owned, but it has recently developed an issue. I am pretty sure its the CPS however as hard as I have looked on this site and others, there doesn't seem to be a definitive list of the symptoms that could confirm if the...

After seeing the pics from the Goodwood trackday, i realised that my 3rd brakelight had a few LED that were not working, I could have sourced the LEDs and had them soldered back on, but i opted to replace the rear brake light with the updated version, i bought the light a month or so back and...

I started with this very good thread: How do i install the trunk cargo net (for the floor) - MBWorld.org Forums And below are the pictures showing how it was done.

This is a very easy job, could be done within an hour or so... I always wanted these on my car and couldn't understand why mercedes never put them on the coupe, yet are standard on saloon models, because the car comes with the same door control unit as the saloon all the wiring points are...

Hello! This is my first hopefully helpful post here rather than a request for help. I'll probably mess it up somehow :rolleyes: You can skip a large chunk of time by buying the right adapter plates, but I couldn't find any and had to get "close enough" ones. So: W203 Coupe, Dec 2003 model...

Hi all, I upgraded the firmware on my HTC HD2 today, which meant I needed to re-pair bluetooth with my COMAND NTG 2.5 head unit - so I figured I'd pass on the brief guide which may save someone else from headscratching frustration. I'm not using the "factory" firmware, as I found the battery...

Ok, so this is slightly different... and not 100% serious... but it is a how-to, and is about fixing a wing mirror on a W202... a bit of humour never hurt anyone ;) Step 1: Start with a broken wing mirror on a W202. This doesn't have to have been shattered into a million sharp shards by a...

1. How do I get Comand to re-calculate route as I drive when I wish to override it. For example, driving back to Monmouth from Woking I chose to head up the A419 at J15 on M4 rather than go straight along M4. For the next 15 miles it repeatedly kept telling me to turn around. More often than not...

Hi Tools Needed: - phillips screwdriver - flat bladed screwdriver - 10mm socket I worked on the Driver's side, however the passenger side will be the same. This is for W124 saloon and estate only. I believe coupe/cabrio is similar but they are rivitted on and also have additional...

One of the temperature dial bulbs on my W124 had failed when I bought it, and as I couldn't find a how-to on changing them I thought I would knock one up. Tools required: Phillips Screw Driver Flat Head Screw driver Adjustable spanner Replacement bulb (s) (12V 0.4W) 1. With the pliers remove...

Does anyone know if the same How to post is the same for a w203. If not does anyone know what tools are required and method. Thanks

DISCLAIMER: ............................................................................................... This is a cosmetic upgrade, the brake pads are not removed from the calipers so this is not a full on MOD more of the lazy mans way :) there are plenty of others ways to do this, i...

I successfully installed the Mercedes QuickPark system to my 2007 W169 A-Class, saving me the £600 quoted by MB to install the system. You will need: Mercedes QuickParc System for W169 - B6 7 82 3816 Spray paint and lacquer for for vehicle colour 20mm hole saw bit small drill bit for pilot...

This comes up on a regular basis, so I thought i would convert the pdf file that is knocking about everywhere into a how-to friendly thread. All credit goes to Paul Darke who originally wrote the guide. I remember him telling me that he wanted this as a howto officially but i believe he has...
