Having recently fitted a Comand APS to my facelift 04 W209, I've been experimenting with audio Cds with CD text in my cd changer. I have noted the Album title is displayed on the comand magazine screen and when the cd is played the album title and track title are displayed on the comand screen...

Hi I'm sure I'm a little stupid for not being able to work this out but ... how do I read the timing scale (1989 190 2.0 Stromberg Carb UNleaded)? I've been told it should be 5 deg BTDC at idle, currently it is on the bar to the left of the "3" but this does not look like a normal degrees...

hi folks following on from my previous thread, had the dealer run a check on the comand system to remedy the problem with nav and audio discs. As expected, they advised a new unit was required at a cost of £1900 approx for the part. However they did not charge me a penny for cleaning the...

hi everybody i have just booked in my w203 2002 for a diagnostic check on my comand dx system. i keep getting cd reading error for my sat nav disc, however it seems to right itself after a while. Same problem for audio cd's (originals). I have tried a cd cleaner but to no avail. Will...

How weird is this. Last Tuesday car went into body shop for 5 days for major repairs (wings, doors, tailgate, front panels, bumpers, usual E class malarkey) and when it came out today the temperature gauge to the L of the odometer was reading -38C, yes, minus thirty-eight degrees centigrade and...

My 1997 E300D temperature gauge has been going up to 100 degrees on long uphill gradients. Also the outside temerature gauge has stopped working recently. Could this be a faulty temperature sender on the engine, an electrical problem with both temperature sensors or a genuine cooling problem...

I've just bought the above car which is 6 mths old. It doesn't have reading lights in the rear (built into the overhead light) - it's just got a plain overhead light. They're shown in the handbook, and not marked as optional - also I could have sworn that the demo I tried (2 mth old car) had...

Isn't it irritating when your passenger tries to use the map reading 'projector(ish)' light mounted near the RVM, only to find that it has not been swapped over to the passenger side during the RHD(isation) process? :mad: :mad: This is something I have noticed on my W202 and W208. Not...

I have just bought a black leather 190E interior from a man in Callington, Cornwall. He wasn't kidding when he said "the interior" - I have the seats, the door cards, the carpets, the dash, the steering wheel, the seatbelts, all the plastic bits around the pillars, the centre console & just...

Hello Gurus, I have recently bought a Comand system from ebay and found a few problems with, the guy I bought it from said I could return it and he would give my money back, but I'd like to get it fixed and get it inot my car. Firstly i couldnt recieve any satellites and evrything else seemed...

Hi all, Anyone know how to remove the interior rear light cover on a W202? It's been bugging me for days now. Seemingly such a simple task however each time I've tried to remove it (the bulb went last week), the entire rear section of the headlining seems to pull down with the light. I'm sure...

Does anyone know if there are reading lights available for the rear passengers individually as in the front, in the dealer manual there is a picture of an estate that looks as if you can have them, I have asked around and no one seems to know. Dave

The hole unit on my C220 CDI (1999 V) needs changing but costs £200. Does anyone knows better and cheaper?
