The first problem I had was the boot leaking which at one point resulted the wheel well and floor of the boot being covered in water. This ultimately killed the PSE pump which was £900 to replace :( The car has spent weeks in my local Mercedes workshop having seals replaced including removal of...
I have some long standing water marks on the inside of the rear window on one of the Cabriolets that I'd like to remove. But, I do not want to rub hard on the inside of the window for fear of breaking the demist heating element on the glass. Is there a product that I can use safely for this that...

Hi all,
Just put (another) new battery in the 211 estate and found the battery tray to be swimming in water.
It had a new hatch in the summer as part of a insurance job and presume that this may have introduced the problem.
Any idea how to diagnose/trace the leak/unblock drains/etc?
Hi all,

I was trying to get someone to replace my water pump, but I wanted someone who could fit it in this century and I didn't have to remortgage the house to pay them:crazy:
I eventually got fed up with mechanics sucking air...

the car visited MB Garage 3 times for the same problem, they changed the breaklights, then on the second visit: the rear window and on the third visit (took the car for...

I was driving the wife's car (E350 conv) the other day and I noticed on braking and accelerating a swishing liquid noise coming from the car around the door area. I assumed it was either a bottle of water laying around or possibly the fuel in the tank splashing about....well that's what it...
I recently had a number of problems which appeared to be caused by water ingress but I just couldn't locate where and how!
My lights would come on my horn would sound which was a nightmare today I lost all electrics to the car, I suspect the water has blown a fuse!
Previously I had been trying...
Interesting one
Just been talking with an insurance claims adjuster going through a few points and we spoke about Mercs. The subject of new MLs came up as since August 2013 he has personally signed off 6 cars (post 2012 – V6TDi) models due to engine hydraulicing . In 4 out of the 6, he stated...
Like many, our e class estate has been showing signs of a big leak as the windscreen is very wet but I could not find any wet carpets until I opened the tailgate and noticed the bottom of the trim was soaked.
The window seal looks OK but the third brake light was standing proud of the bodywork...
Just noticed some water getting into the back of the car at the base of the rear side opening windows - these hinge out a few inches at the rear of the glass. The pooling was much worse before I wiped it and then thought to take a pic. The lamp I used was very bright so you see a reflection of...

I recently bought an ML W164 2008 model, which back in June had a rear SAM module replaced after the brake lights failed I believe.
