I append this to the roll call of other 606;s not starting just to give some inspiration for others with similar problems. O.K. my 300TD first began not starting in February during those heavy snows,and at first I had hoped it was just the intense cold. Then after churning the engine...

Hope this might help somebody. Anyone who has creaking steering when turning the wheel may well have a drop link problem. At first I thought my drivers side suspension upper rubber parts were worn, however applying some lube the creaking was still there. My W209 CLK developed this fault...

Here's my storey, for about three years now various places have tried to balance my wheels, all failed, so about a year ago I got in touch with Tony at Wheels in Motion and he explained my problem. I even contemplated to drive down to WIM to get it done as I was struggling to find a place in the...

So I've been living with a creaking problem on the CLK for almost a year. I've been told it could be bushes, broken coil springs, roof mechanism, electric window motor, seat belt anchors, rear wall or the underneath brace bars / struts. Well it turns out that one of those was the culprit...

Hope this will help someone else as on searching there's a few contradictory threads. This car W202 1996 C36. On locking last night the mirror and door green and red lights flashed together at the same time. Unlocked the car, got back in and the mirror lights continued to flash. Tried to start...

Hello everyone, just wanted to share my experience, had this message for a while, and it turned out to be broken wire that leads to the fan, the fan wasn't engaging, hence the temp could rise and the aircon wouldn't work properly so if everyone has this message would advice to check the wires...

Hey, I posted when i first joined about what I thought was a gearbox issue but it would now seem that it was the MAF sensor problem. Would anyone know the part number and best place to buy one for my 98 C180 Sport Touring? Would this do the job? Mercedes Benz - Euro Car Parts UK?s No.1...

If you remember I started a thread about my sons Alfa 156 and the fact that it wouldnt rev and was totally undrivable. Well today I have finally cured it! After much headscratching, a code reader, Alfa diag software and numerous suggestions from this forum I found that the CAT was blocked...

How do you mark [SOLVED] against an issue raised on this forum - just type it or is there some function that does it?

Never mind the wheel arches, the whole body shell on this latest model has completely corroded away without even leaving MB Reading's showroom :eek: ;). Wonder what the paint code was...? :D

2002 SL500. It had a habit of getting the SRS light come on and stay. It gave a fault code of Passenger Seat pretensioner (or something similar) but no fault could be traced. Eventually, the drivers' side seat got lifted out and it became obvious that someone had butchered the yellow plug for...

Hi fans, just wanted to share my today's issue with the merc. Have an italian w124 (250D turbo, '92). Today during a trip i heard an awful sound like the lights reminder (i believe in english it's zoomer, but not sure) but more quiet. After few minutes noticed that tachometer, fuel and...

Hi all, I've been cleaning up my new 230e for the last couple of days and thought I'd investigate the problem with my central locking. The drivers lock was not having any effect on the rest of the car, simply opening or closing that door. On the other hand, if I locked the door from the...

Hey people! My C200 kompressor change the head gasket. After that the idle became like crap! So I wento to a dealrship and they told me that I have to change the MAF/MAS and accelarator!!! Well I think they are krazy! Today a took the car apart and the problem was a VACUM PIPE disconect! Like...

Thanks for all the advice on other threads. MY local garage (specialist in everything and have used them for 25 years) has fixed this problem which has been a pain since having the car... and the other electrical problems. Apparently a new 'Travel Sensor' was required. Sorted 10 days ago and...

The internet is truly a wonderful thing and the iPhone is truly a wonderful device! My W163 took it upon itself to pack up on me yesterday while I was in a traffic queue in a busy central London thoroughfare. Had I known that it would lock the transmission I would never had put the selector...

Recently upgraded to a new version of the Tele Atlas CD, 2007 with TMC. All very nice but on the map the cursor was lagging about 400 yards behind my actual position. Didn't seem to affect the voice commands but it bugged me enough to consider changing back to the old CD which always showed the...
