Hello all! I decided to post as I really am having a problem with a car I have, its a W220 2003 S320 CDI. Its kind of an odd problem (although one I'm sure some of you have seen before!) in that when you go out to the car, usually in the morning, get in and drive, quite often the Comand...

Hi, forum! Went to the carwash some days ago, upon exiting I got the message "Dipped beam, left". Checked the cables/connectors around the beam but couldn't see anything special and turning off and on the ignition a couple of times didn't have any effect either. The next day the message didn't...

The other day I put the car in reverse and the screen didn't change from the media screen to the reverse camera as it should. There were no error messages I checked the options in the system setting menu, ie. that the camera should activate when R is selected and I also manually dropped the...

As per title every now and then (infuriatingly unpredictable) the car won't start. Usually when engine warm but can't say for certain and don't really want to tie this as the reason. Symptoms: Key to position 2 and all dash lights come on as per usual, except on occasions when it won't start the...

Hi guys. I've got an 09 sprinter which randomly won't start when I turn the key, the only warning light I get is the red temperature symbol which won't even let me crank the van, but then I just take key out and then all lights go out and she starts a dream. It's such a weird intermittent fault...

Hi A few weeks ago I came home, went indoors for a few minutes and then upon returning to start my car; it would not fire. One turn of the key to glow plug light - all is well. turn to start and she goes into a few seconds of what I can only describe as cranking over the engine repeatedly...

Hi, my newly acquired CLK seems to only be unlocking and locking via the key intermittently. I have changed the batteries and the fob light is coming on with every press but I have to be very close to the car and still sometimes it doesn't work any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi, After 2 years I am still getting P0600 errors on my CLK 200K . It gets stuck in park but ticks over well. I can release the transmission and it will limp around the block. If I leave it for 1 day until the weather warms up then its fine. Does anyone know any bad points on a CLK to look...

Hi, I'm looking for some help regarding an intermittent starting fault with my A140. It is a 2002 A140 manual Elegance model. It seems to start fine most of the time but oddly when my wife has been at work for 6 hours finishing at 9pm the car won't start. When the key is turned all the way all...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and to Mercedes! Just bought a 58 plate ML320 W164 around a month ago and I seem to be plagued by intermittent light problems. Initially I just had a warning light occasionally come up saying that my rear left brake light was out. Whenever the warning came up, the...

my 2007 C class CDi has developed an intermittent fault over the last few weeks. I tend to use the speed limit function regularly in speed restricted areas ( I know - boring!) but now occasionally it beeps and I get a message saying speedtronic inoperative and neither limiter nor cruise control...
