Hi, I have a 1996 W202 C180 Estate. I'm trying to disconnect the battery so I can replace a failed alternator. However, when I take off the battery earth (I mean the main 12V battery in the boot), after about five seconds the alarm starts sounding. Replace the earth and it stops immediately. If...
The ECO system has stopped working in my 4 year old SLK (including the hold function for the brakes), before I spend a fortune on a diagnostic (Is £120 normal for this at a dealer? This is my first MB) can anyone suggest anything I can check myself?
Thank you
Daniele
I have been putting up with the flashers/indicators occassionally stopping working. The hazards still worked. I have known for some time the problem was assocaited with the Illumination module in other words the headlight switch control unit as if I tapped it they would often start working...
Hi
Wondering if someone can help with this. I have not owned my mercedes for very long and purchased it from a MB dealer.
When coming home from work in the evening I have noticed that the eco stop start switches on after just one minute of starting the car and driving. Going by the...
Hi folks,
I have just bought a 2012 C180 1.6 auto petrol and not having driven an auto for many years wonder how best to drive up a long steep hill in stopping/starting traffic.
A few months ago a bus caught fire on the A55 between St Asaph and Caerwys. This led to me being stuck in a queue...
This is bugging me - I've copied MP3's onto the internal hard drive and they play fine. However when I pause the track (by pressing the volume roller inwards) and get out of the car, when I get back in and start up it auto-plays.
Is it possible to stop the car auto-playing??
The car is a...
Two random but identical ventilation fan problems in the last few days - for some reason it starts running ''superfast', ie faster than the maximum controllable setting, and will not respond to the controller. Set the fan to off and it carries on running at very high speed. OK better switch the...
Hi All,
Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Have a strange issue where my parking sensors both front and rear stop working for about two cycles of turning the car on and off. Third time they start working.
I can't seem to figure out what causes them to not activate in the...

I used my Clk 208 for first time in 7 months today. Initially tried to use blower as windows misted slightly. No response when dial turned to 2,3,4,5 etc. After 5 minutes of driving the fan came on full power and despite altering the dial back to 4,3,2,1 off etc nothing happened. Even when the...
re; W204 C Class.
Hi, can anyone tell me exactly how the "stop/start" function operates in conjunction with the 7G-tronic gearbox?
i.e. Do you have to select Neutral or Park for the car to restart? or is it a seamless operation?
A quick hello and welcome to fellow MB members. This is my first ever Mercedes.
My previous 2 cars have been a Focus RS and a Jag XFR but today I collected a car I've always wanted but never thought I would ever own.
Oh, and a quick question. Is there a miles to empty option in the display...
Morning - above message came up this morning. Car looks a bit lower at the back than I've noticed before
It's not airmatic.
Going to plug in when I get home - see if anything shows up.
Any clues where to start before I go in blind?
Thanks.

Afraid to say my shiny Merc C220 is the worst car I've ever had to drive in these conditions
Back end broke away far too many times despite me driving more carefully than any other car on the road

I've had my C250 Bluetec for a week now and clocked up just shy of 1,000 miles. Probably 50-66% of these on motorway or dual carriageway with some decent fuel economy to show for it.
My (perceived) issue is that the start stop hasn't kicked in since the morning of day 2. I always have the...
Last week the fan started to run an full power for about 10 minutes and then yesterday just wouldn't stop. I did a 40 mile m-way run and the fan just kept going at 100%. I had to pull the fuse just to shut it up. I did a google search and it has happened to a few people, but with no clear...
