w221

Esteemed gents. Acquaintance arrived today. Caught me unawares. 9 yr old w221 with 30k miles, owned from new. Against my advice, its going in to main dealer for a service. "funny noise - can hear inside and out". Expecting the worst I got him to pop the bonnet. Narrowed down the noise...

Hello all, I've had a few Mercs in my past but I make a welcome return to the 3 pointed star from the blue and white aero roundels. I've got myself a rather lovely, fully loaded S500 from 2006! The engine, gearbox are solid, as well as all the electrics, however the suspension seems a bit...

Hi everyone, purchased my first ever Mercedes S500! Love it already but I do have some questions with my purchase. 1. On cold there is a jerk going from 2-3 on this 722.9. When warm the transmission operates fine. The car has only done 50K so I intend to change the fluid as I'm extremely...

Hi New owner of S350 CDI and a little surprised at the mpg I am returning - around town getting just on / around 30 and a recent motorway drive of 150 odd mies at sensible speeds returned 43 mpg - am I about average? What should I consider doing to obtain max mpg - specialist tune up or...

I have a factory fitted Mercedes phone in the top part of my centre arm rest..... What can I do with it? :crazy: Can i remove and fit a iPhone kit ?

Hi Just noticed that my car in the car park this morning was about 20mm lower on the drivers side than the near side,it was parked on level ground,drove it home and the ride hide was ok the same on both sides,I have no warning lights up,just went out and did the height test namely height...

Thinking of replacing the yellow looking bulbs for something more fresh. A few kits in eBay, any one recommend where to get the bulbs?

As per tittle please :-)

Any one tried this? The wood just doesn't do it for me. DAsh and door pieces seem like they shouldn't be any trouble to get off, how about the centre console though?

Any one have or know where I can get a list of error codes for the W221 series? I've had a look on line but could not locate anything. Many thanks

S320 2007 W221 I have noticed that the passenger rear sits slightly lower than the other corners. The airmatic pump was replaced a few months back. When I press the button to elevate the car I get a message saying car is rising and it does lift on the 4 corners. When driving I get no...

Can any one tell me the dates that the W221 S63 models were made? And/If they switched to the revised 5.5 bi turbo engine, what year was it from and to. MAny thanks

Hi all, I have a small but incessant wind noise in my 2008 s class when driving over about 65mph. It comes from the top rear corner of the drivers door, right next to my ear and sounds like a high pressure hissing. It really spoils what is otherwise a very serene motorway cruising experience...

Hi all, I have a new (to me) 2008 s500 which has factory Bluetooth and dab radio functionality but neither appear to be working... Dab radio is there on the menu but if you select it on the command it permanently shows 'no service' And no amount of rescanning or resetting with make it pick...

Hi all, I've not owned or looked a Mercedes since a brief fling with a w124 many years ago, but I think it may be exactly what I need in my life right now. If you could help me work out what would fit my needs best, that would be brilliant :) My ideal shopping list is Able to do over 30mpg...

Hi I need to remove the offside/drivers side headlight ,because the two plastic caps that go on the back were left off and lost I have replaced them but the inside of the headlight is dirty,I was hoping to take it out and somehow clean the inside,any idea how to do it.

Just thinking of maybe taking the interior wood trim off the car and changing it by either painting or wrapping. I can handle the main dash and inserts on the doors but was just wondering if anyone had a guide to removing the centre armrest wood surround or if it was indeed possible?

Just replaced the fuel filter and glow plugs on my S320 this evening. Ever since I bought the car a few weeks ago, the glow plug light stayed on for a few minutes after driving. Longer than normal anyway. Also, when the weather turned cold, it took a good bit of cranking to get the car...

Just thought I'd say hi. Recently bought a 2008 S320 CDI with Brabus front and rear bumpers, front fogs, rear quad exhaust, led underbody lights, illuminated door sills and D6 chip. A couple of quick pics. The colour is Designo Mystic Blue. Not seen an S class in this...
