rain

I have a strange problem with the light & rain sensors in my 2002 CL203. Firstly as programmed the interior lights only switch on when dark & the doors opened (no problem there) although the rear interior lamp has stopped working. The rain & light sensors are separate units The rain...

As mentioned in another post, recently purchased a 59 reg A180CDI Classic automatic. It definitely has auto lights, and would appear to have a rain senor on the windscreen but switching wipers onto 1 simply activate the intermittent wipes regards of the amount of rain or lack of rain. Can...

Small A road, pouring with rain, lots of standing water, double white lines for hundreds of yards and oncmoing traffic, he'll need the ambulance in front soon I think! dopeybiker.mp4 Video by boxbrownieUK | Photobucket

Hi MB Club - my R class ( 320 CDi 2006) is playing up with an annoying fault with the rain sensors. Whilst in rain sensor mode, they start to wipe (with rain !) and then immediately stop just away from their parked position. Then they are stuck unless I move the switch. If I turn it off, the...

I have finally started adding all the retrofit stuff I have collected to my W208, As I recently had to replace the windscreen I decided to fit the rain senser which I have done but it does not work :dk:. I realise it needs to be enabled but cannot find where in the software to do it. I have star...

2012 E250 Sport Hi, I've just had to have a new windscreen fitted, it is not a genuine MB one as they are on back-order!!! and it couldn't wait. The wipers do work on the auto settings but they are nowhere near sensitive enough (they were perfect before the screen change). Also the...

Why don't they do this for the rear wiper as well ?

Our 2007 C230 S203 Avantgarde SE Sport has auto lights (which work fine), but in the first position the wipers give a fixed interval intermittent wipe rather than being rain-sensing. From the outside there appear to be two sensors at the top of the windscreen. Does anybody know what the...

Hi guys, the wife just got back from shopping with wet feet. She has driven the car in rain before, but not in a torrential downpour. The footwell carpet is soaked and she said it was dripping on her feet from above the accelerator pedal. I've had a look and can see streaks of water down the...

When my CLK 350 is parked outside in heavy rain it gets a build-up of, at least, a good tablespoon full of rain water "somewhere" in the front area (bow) of the soft top roof. This does not drip into the car whilst it is stationery, but shows itself as a good deluge of water onto my passenger's...

Hi guys, this may be a dumb question, but how can I tell if I have I rain sensor? I've got a 58 CLC, S.E. Behind the rear view mirror there is a sensor on the windscreen. However is this just for the auto lights? I can't seen to figure out if the car has auto wipers? My wiper stalk has 1...

Driving the 24hr Nurburgring in the rain WAvN0EzEacU Interview with the driver, Leh Keen H31zyU6XHmU

I've had my 250 TD Kombi for twenty years in Spain and each year in February when it rains it floods in the passenger foot well. Each year I try to fix it and I have never been able to get it dry. What it isn't is 1/ sunroof drain holes 2/ drain holes left and right and center. 3/ heater It...

Hi all. Haven't posted on here for all car had been running with no major faults. However due to the recent heavy rains I noticed a puddle of water behind the passenger seat in the rear footwell. There's no water anywhere else just in that area. Does anyone know possible areas of where the water...

Morning all, I have quite a lot of water in my drivers footwell. Heavy rain seems to be the culprit. I can't find drainage holes to check for blockages. Any help would be appreciated thanks. 2000 ML270 CDI. Dave.

I usually just leave my wiper settings on auto and let the rain sensor do its job. This has worked fine until the last couple of weeks. Now it seems as though the sensor is detecting more rain/water than is actually falling. If I leave it on auto, occasionally it will work, but more often than...

Has anyone else had problems with Rain sensors "not working to full capacity" ? The last few times it has rained the automatic setting has not worked very efficiently anyone any idea's?? :doh:

Hi all, Does anyone know how to get the rain sensor to work? I have read the manual and the wipers just keep going across the screen every 10 seconds. I did notice a small bubble or area where it looks like the rain sensor is not in contact with the screen. If so, what is the solution a new...

Apart from rain causing rust, the car has had an on-going issue, that when it rains it starts to splutter and has a couple of times stalled/cut out whilst driving. This got better when I cleaned the fuel pump relay connectors last year, is now starting to get worse and only in the wet/rain...

There are loads of previous threads on this but I cannot find the specific answer I want. :dk: Can a rain sensor be fitted to a facelift R171 (surprised it's not standard! :( ) ? If so, then what is it going to cost, approximately, to have it supplied and fitted by an Indie?
