Hi, Could someone advise with regards to Wing mirrors the difference between the inners in the year of models. My W210 OS mirror spring retainer is damaged, the metal casing had cracked so I need a new one. I've bought a replcement but it is different. It looks like MB redesigned the casing...

my ML recently blew it's trans (needle roller collapsed in the trans) so i fitted another. Prior to this the handheld scanner I have (carsoft) readout the code as P2502 . it still does despite me trying to erase it. What do Mercedes suggest could also be at fault with this code beside...

I've been toying with the idea of getting a 212 350 CDI (estate) to replace my trusty 211 and have seen one that ticks quite a few boxes. Having had a 212 as a hire car I know I'd like black or grey Sport with the 18's, pano roof and half-alcantara seats. £17k would get me into something...

Hi Guys, Might be about to get a 2015 C63S Premium and have a few questions you might be able to help with. Should it have remote connect where I can unlock / lock the car via Iphone? Is Active park assist where the car can try park itself? Does apple car play work on this model / year...

When I got my W205 the start/stop function was turned on however I have noticed that it is not as smooth as I thought it would be. You can feel a shudder and the car jolts when the engine turns on. It's more of a nuisance than beneficial. I have tried to turn it off n the agility select menu but...

Picked up the beast yesterday, somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of configuration options in the setup menus. So two questions (couldn't find anything in the manuals): 1. When reversing (I just have the reversing camera not the 360 one) there is an led cluster mounted to the roof above...

Hi, I hope you are all well. The EGR valve on my 2007 311CDi has stuck in the closed position. It's totally seized. The van is in limp mode and is reporting an error code of P0404. I have electronics/microcontroller/PCB making experience so am pretty confident I can design & build and emulator...

Hi all, New to the forum so apologies if this is the wrong section. After a used cls but not au fait with mercs at all really so the multitude of models is throwing me - here's my questions: 1. do all cls320 cdi & cls350 cdi models have the comand setup as standard, or do I need to make...

Been enjoying my 2015 C200 SE petrol with executive package for a few days now and had some questions about it: 1. The MB dealer has asked me if I would pay for a servicing plan, around £30 per month for 2 years which pays for 2 services apparently. Is this worth paying for? I have noticed that...

Hi all, Having just bought my first Mercedes (but not picked up yet), I have been researching certain questions and failing to get some answers. Thought you guys might be helpful. Here is the spec on the car: Make MERCEDES-BENZ Model C200 EXECUTIVE PACK SE CDI BLU SATNAV Engine size...

Hi fellow eco drivers. Have a few questions about the car. As I drive it more and more I'm getting used to it but there are some odd things occurring. 1) My command interface thingy stopped letting me play any audio. Wouldn't recognise the media card, wouldn't access the media register which is...

Hi All Picked up my C63 PPP Coupe in white from Southern Sky Motors a few weeks back. Reg is YE12 UDH if anyone knows it? Loving the car so far, so much more refined and more grunt than the 350z I had before it. A few quick questions if anyone could help? 1. Is there a recommended...

Good friend is contemplating purchase of this. 56 plate E63 W211 low mileage for year 39000 but Mot has advisory on front discs. Is this a reasonable life expectation for these items and what's expected cost to replace? Is Airmatic a big money pit for future and what's typical tyre life...

Morning All, Any E55s owners have experience of the B service would be good to hear if £507.83 sounds like a good price from an Indy (it's certainly much better than main dealer). Still on the original spark plugs so definitely time for the B service Will need rear pads replaced at same...

So set on early next year to buy the car, i've been thinking whether the CLS 55 or 63 (W219). The 55 suits me better as I love and am used to low end torque, only scare I have is boost leaks. I've always managed to have boost leaks in my turbo charged MPS, how common are they with the 55...

I have a couple of questions relating to TCs that hopefully someone here can answer. 1) On the surface of a TC that faces the engine flywheel there is at its centre a smallish diameter (coin sized) protrusion. What is its purpose? Does its external surface form a spigot that engages and...
