Hello all, I believe I have a gear selector issue with the Tiptronic function. Basically the function works but the selector needs to be press hard against the "-" side trim before the sensor picks up. The "+" side works about half way between the central position and the "+" side trim and...

I thought I would clean out the ashtray and rather than turn on the ign to put the gearbox in D to make room to remove the ashtray I pushed a pencil in the hole to release the shift lever. When I removed the pencil the little spring loaded flap did not return and has disappeared inside...

I have this dent in the gear selector surround on my 2004 W211 e320cdi (see below) It is only slight and is to the left of the "R" position. The finish looks in-tact so I think it could be repaired if it can be accessed. It was there when I got the car, but I was wondering if it would be...

When driving my car at night I find it hard to tell what gear I'm in should it have a Gear selector light?

On my car the gear selector indicator and the W/S switch is on the right of the gear selector as it should be for a right hand drive car. But, I've noticed talking to people that it appears just about everyone else has their's on the left side as per L/hand drive cars. Surely I cant be the...
