Have had my w163 320cdi serviced and now has a ticking sound coming from engine. MB has confirmed issue. Anyone here replaced the bearing and can it be done with engine still in place? Also has anyone had to pay to have this done and how much would it be? Thanks

hello all, ive noticed an accumulation of engine oil around the bottom of the bellhousing on the cls55, doesnt seem to be coming from top of engine, when i removed the black blanking plate on the bottom of the bellhousing, there was some engine oil in there too. At this point, im considering...

Noticed yesterday when driving that the dash is blank, no warning lights, clocks, indicator lights etc Indicators work, car runs OK, doesn't go into limp mode (though I have only driven it for 10 mins at a time) Main beam is on constant Visually checked fuse no 42 and seems good (haven't...

Hi all I am sure this has been talked about before but I cant find anything but I am thinking of removing the main cats on slk 55 R172 but am not sure what will the sensors pick up and are they going to show up faults. Has anyone done this and had they any problems. Thanks Ray

Hi folks, Took my CLS for a 7+ value service plus MOT at the main dealer today. They just phoned to say the car failed it's MOT on rear springs which are apparently both broken and can supply/fit new parts for £409. A dealer had previously "thought" they were broken a year or 2 ago but when I...

Hi I bought the front pipes to take out the secondary cat and opened it up today and I thought the car had sucked in a pussy cat as all is in it is hair. I am doing it to get a bit more of V8 noise but am now wondering if I have wasted my money. Is there anyone who has removed the "cat hair" and...

I'm in need of a coolant stat for my W211 270cdi. The MB dealer part is £62 and the ones on ebay are c£30. Is the MB one worth the extra? Some even claim to be the original part.

Hey everyone!, This is my first post, delighted to be here. Have trwled the threads the last 2 weeks about this error but said i would ask the question see if anyone could advise. I have a 2010 W212 E200 CDI Avantgarde with the Active BiXenon lights. About a month ago the drivers side xenon went...

Hi all, Last week my 2008 320 decided it didn't want to start, i would turn the key but nothing happened, no ignition lights. My local garage came out and diagnosed this as ESL failure. Currently the steering lock is engaged and i have no way to disengage, and the only garage that can...

I vowed never to give Mercedes Teesside another chance, however, sensibly, I began to think alienating myself from my local main dealer who are almost literally at the end of the road is a bit silly. So, with my rear springs needing changing I've decided to give them another chance (the fact...

Opinions please? Is there perceived wisdom in staying with a main dealer and cost after 5Years? Just acquired an SLK 200 auto which requires 5year service etc. Dealer has quoted £230 for 'alignment' to full digital record and further £840 for auto fluid/filter (which is needed) plus next...

So the S203 (10 years old, 75k miles) was due for an A service. M-B Ascot is about a mile away but the cheapest option there (drop & go) was £320. M-B Guildford is further away but it was only £250 there; a £70 saving is worth a bit of inconvenience so I booked it in. First surprise was a...

I have a 2016 A250. I find that with the lighting switch in the AUTO position and driving at night there is a 2seconds delay between switching from dip to Main beam. This is not the case on my partners A200. I have reported this to my Merc dealer as a safety issue and their response is that...

The car was reluctant to open this morning using the remote on the chrome keyless go key. Started the car on the gearshift button and got a red message on the dash with something like "key not recognised". Waved the key by the EIS and the message disappeared. I drove a couple of miles and...

Hi All So was looking under the car to see where the leak was coming from my exhaust and noticed flipping oil coming out the bell housing. It is not gear box oil but am 100% sure it is oil coming out the rear main seal. I have a camera that im going to stick in there to confirm 100%. The car...

A lot of people bash MB main dealer services on this board, so with a little trepidation I put by E350 in for it's first service with MB Fortune Green in North London. A got the video thing (never had that before) and it was all done, washed and cleaned and ready for collection when they said...
