level

I noticed today when I turned on the ignition on my W210 that it pops up a message asking if I want to check the oil level. All very clever but how do you accept this kind offer and tell it yes??? Consulting the manual doesn't disclose the answer, and a random press of all of the buttons only...

Can anyone recommend a third high level brake light for a 1994 W124 estate? Mine comes back from crash repair on Monday and I'd like to start sorting a few niggles, one of which is adding a high level LED brake light, but one that doesn't look too out of place. Can i just splice one of the...

Hi Guys, Yesterday warning messages came out on my W210 E240. 'Engine oil level. check level!. Then 'Visit workshop' 1 malfunction showed when I stop the engine. I checked the oil level tru the dash instrumentation. It said the level is OK. When i start the engine no malfunction detected. How...

Not long after I got the E55 I tried to check the oil level...looked at the handbook and it says that I can check it via the OBC due to there not being a dipstick..... Now, I tried this as instructed by the handbook and the "Oil level check" wasnt there!. thought at first it was just me BUT...

Hi, I want to check oil level in my gearbox but need a dip stick to do this, (factory option) has anyone got one ??? as i want to make one up but need to know measurement from the dip stick if anyone could provide me with the measurements that would be great.:dk:

Hello, The car failed the MOT on the NSF headlamp level being too high. My questoin is, is there an offical height that the concentrated part of the beam should sit at? Whilst it's very simple to adjust the headlamp level, i dont' really know what height it should be, to determine if it's high...

The coolant warning light of my 1997 C200 does not light up when the ignition switch is switched on before the engine is started. The rest of the warning lights light up. I have removed the bulb at the back of the instrument cluster and tested it with a battery and found it to be working. But...

This has bugged me for a while... The W220 manual says that the coolant level in the expansion bottle should be at the right level, however its not clear what "right" actually is. There is no real level indicator in the bottle apart from a little black knob on the inside about 3 quarters of...

Hello again, Stumbled upon an interesting observation, or was this a co incidence...? The headlight level adjuster (the rotary switch near the headlight switch) had no effect in the level of the lamps, so decided to look into it. Found that the previous owner had (reason unkown) disconnected and...

Interesting statistics and the reason for the driving test age being increased to 18. Young male drivers are the biggest cause of death of young women in Britain. Almost one in two drivers killed at night is under 25. I had no idea of this of this horror statistic. Full article via the...

Hi all, I've recently bought my first Mercedes, a 98 280sl. The other day I noticed the high level brake light in the boot lid isn't working. Any tips on sorting this problem? Is it easy to get access to remove the light? Many thanks Kev

Iv'e had my 1997 E200 petrol saloon for a year now & thought I should check the transmition level, I noted some threads relating to manufacturing your own dip stick but asked my local indie in Shrewsbury.He firstly said that he would need to connect up his laptop sized gadget to see what type of...

I checked the oil yesterday, and the level seems to have risen since before. The car was parked on level ground when I checked it. I had the oil changed about 1300 miles ago, and the level was filled to just under the maximum. Yesterday, it was just over maximum and I haven't added any oil...

I "can't find" the oil level indicator. It's a 2008 E220 CDI Avantgarde, it has COMAND, folding mirrors, run-flat tyres etc., would it have oil level as well - or is it hidden from me?

A friend of the family has a very early 2001 W203 C240 (bought after seeing my W202 :D ) has asked me about checking the oil, how much oil, type is required. From memory, the W203 (early ones) have an electronic dip stick right accessed from the dash display? Anyone shed some light on it...

I've just brought an A-Class A180 (W169) which has the standard Audio 20 unit with a 3.5mm AUX jack in the glovebox. I have plugged in my iPod to this and everything works fine, but even with the iPod volume up high I have to turn the stereo up quite a bit. There is no problem with distortion...

The high level brake light has packed up on my E300 TD Estate and the handbook states that "work on the high-mounted brake lamp should only be carried out by specially trained personnel". I am not a mechanic, but surely it can't be that difficult can it? - I thought this after changing the...
