Hi, What is the tube that connects up to the light/sunroof switch unit? runs down the n/s a pillar? Lambo

Have been looking at a 2010 C350cdi sport estate. Would like to fit a detachable tow bar but have conflicting information if it is possible or not. The spares department at the MB dealer which is selling the car says a tow bar is not possible on any current Sport spec C Class. It is only...

I have a near mint 1984 w126 500SE (30k miles). The car has been in storage for many years and I'm now using it on a regular basis. Other than one of the window motors and switch I haven't had any problems with the car at all - until now. It is leaking petrol, but it is proving impossible...

Hello. Thanks in advance for any help with this problem thats driving me potty. Tried some new parts. Problem persists. On tickover my engine is noisy with a booming rattle. As soon as you bring it above tickover it runs smoothly. On full lock it chirps. Under the bonnet I can see the...

I've had a recurring problem with my 1998 320 CLK coupe that is starting to properly annoy me and has mystified my mechanic. Basically my ABS/ASR/BAS warning light comes on randomly (usually when there is someone in the passenger seat but sometimes when I'm driving alone). This normally...

Am re posting this as I mucked it up first time round. Found this pipe lying near the battery, which is on the right hand side of my car, it's left hand drive, when sucked it opens/closes the valve on the air inlet tube, so it must need to be connected to something, any ideas? Have some links...

Hi sorry for the lack of photo evidence, broken camera, but whilst under the bonnet today I saw a black plastic pipe (approx 3mm od) loose near the bulkhead by the battery, right hand side of the car, (it's left hand drive). Sucking on the end of this pipe causes the air intake valve to...

Need help - this little button has been puzzling me for a while now. I imported my car from Japan a few months ago, but even the Japanese manual doesn't show the button :dk: (no, I can't speak Japanese :) but I went through the book checking all the pictures - the relevant one is exactly the...

Hi All, As some of you are aware the side light bulbs in the the facelift version (2006 onwards) of the W211 are nothing like the normal wedge type bulbs and are in fact Led.Having looked at a 2008 facelift E class with xenons,the side light bulbs look to be what appears to be a glass stem...

Had my E55 AMG for a couple of weeks - it's fabulous in every respect, but there is something really bothering me.... A few times, while driving, and once while stationary with the engine running, I have heard an audible 'chime' from somewhere in the car. It sounds like a reminder type noise...

I have just bought a W209 clk 240 coupe ,2005. Fabulous, my first MB But the rattle! Somewhere in or near the rear parcel shelf. It's driving me nuts. Sounds like a small metallic part vibrating quickly on metal or plastic. And intermittent. Some days not heard, other days always there...

Hi, Saw a Mercedes today in UK South where my brother works. It was a 59 plate 4 door saloon and the badge on the rear said CLC 250........CDI I can find no trace of this model on the merc website. I thought all CLC's were the small coupe model made in Brazil. This is def a standard 4...

In the Glove box of my new E Class I have the following item and I cannot find out what it is for? :dk: The item in the Glove box is shown on the attached photos. Very strange, it seems to cover an opening for something and looks like a locking mechanism? No mention in the manual at all that...

Hello all, hoping for some advice as I had a weird problem develop on the way home this evening. All seemed fine at first, switched lights on as I pulled away, then gave the washers a squirt. The 'washer bottle empty warning light' came on and thats when I heard a weird noise coming from the...

Hi All, I’m moving a copy of this plea to this part of the forum because, a) It looks more electrical than engine now, and b) Wherever the end of my wit’s are, that’s where I am. Just an update on the problem of a cutting-out 24v 124, last post link here...

Anybody know what the structure in the pic is and the purpose? (Hint: There are two of them and they cost £250k.)
