rain

Guys, How do I know that I have rain activated wipers on my C180K? The sensor is there, (you can see it right in front of the RVM, as you're looking at the windscreen), I took the car to the MB dealer and he said yes, my car is equipped with one, I just have to put the setting to I. But...

Question time. Friend of mine bought a ml (2003) at auction. Everyting works fine exept for the rain and light sensor. when he has the lights on auto they flare up when the engine starts and the rain sensor does not work. Does anyone have any ideas? cant find a blown fuse. Thx.

I have a w210 model with rain sensor on the Intermittent Wiper position. Is there any way to selectively modify the action to 'fixed delay' rather than rain sensor action. I find that when the rain is very fine and light, the wipers still tend to work continuously when a delayed action would be...

Did the 99 W202's come with perhaps optional rain sensors? When its raining and my wiper is switched to the 1st on position it seems to move according to the intensity of the rain. When I got under a bridge it stopped wiping then when I came out it wiped...aswell when I stop at a light it...

Is it possible to retrofit the Rain sensing wipers on my 2003 registered W203 I saw that its a £90 option on the face lifted model. I have some sensors in the windscreen so I am gusessing that I only need a control module. Is this the case?

I have a problem with my 2000 ML 320. The problem is that the BAS/ESP malfunction, ETS malfunction, ABS malfunction, and Brake fluid level low, warning lights and audio warning all come on but only in heavy rain, or when the car has been through a automatic car wash. I have checked...

Anyone know how to activate the rain sensor wipers built into the New SLK's

I've got a nasty chip right in the line of sight of the driver, and I'm wondering if this is what's stopping my rain sensor from working? I'm not sure what else might be stopping it... unless the previous owner has had it disabled somehow. I've checked under the sensors cover, and it does...

Was driving to work this morning on the A1 leaving london, it was pouring with rain I was doing 70mph which was probably a tad too fast, but this guy in a E220 W124 came past so fast driving right up to everyones bumpers till they moved over, was complete nutter i dont think he could even see...

Looking to make up a retrofit kit for a W203 2004 rain sensor (classic) option [345]. Would really like confirmation on the sensor module itself. Rain sensor ---------- A210 820 57 10 [old] A___ ___ __ __ [is there a new one ?] Daylight sensor -------------- A209 820 31 26...

Hi All, I got a huge stone-chip on the weekend, more like a bullet-hole. A definite insurance replacement job. I thought I would go through the dealer to get a proper job, so it's booked into his bodyshop. I've read the threads on rain-sensors and thought I'd like one of those, so I...

Would anyone like to comment on the RAIN SENSOR ? I understand there are 2 things needed ...... I might be wrong. 1- Rain sensor module to glue onto front glass and attach to wiring in place. 2- Steering column controller ? (is this correct ) I am interested in the install...

Have driven both a new E-Class and C-Class over the past few weeks. But both have the same problem: the rain sensor is not sensitive enough to wipe the screen; you have to manually apply the wipers when the screen is sprayed by a passing lorry, for example. If you do not do anything then you...

Hi chaps , Around 5 weeks ago I had to have my windscreen replaced as a massive stone chip hit it at high speed on the motorway (damn bmw drivers) Didnt cause me any harm , just a massive gash in the windscreen , anyway after I had the screen replaced it seems like the rain sensor has...

I've just been speaking to an Autoglass fitter working on a C class outside my work. Basically, according to this fitter, the C class windscreens are now one size fits all. Meaning that regardless of original spec, all replacement windscreens will have rain sensors and light sensors fitted...

I had my screen replaced a while ago and they obviously removed and replaced my rainsensor, however it seems that the rain sensor does not work anymore. I can flick the wipers to position 1 and they just go into intermittent phase with about 8-10 secs between wipes. It can bucket down and...

Hi, Are these standard on my car? It rained today but I had to manually turn on the wipers? Pls advise Amo 1998 S280 w140 UK
