wipers

The sensitivity of the auto wipers on my 209 clk320 seems to be on the sensitive side shall we say! Is there any way of adjusting this, or is it just the way they are?? oh its a 52plate BTW! Cheers Rob

I am not happy with the standard MB replacement blades for my w209 CLK. They only last a short while before thay start getting noisy and a bit "flappy". I have heard that Valeo blades give excellent results. I cannot find who is the manufacturer of the genuine MB blades( I really don't want...

Guys I am a neewbie to this forum and i am looking for some help with my 96 C200 W202. Occasionally my indicators, Intermittent wiper and rear windscreen heater stop working. I have been told that it could be a problem with condensation and i was shown that when the plasic plug was removed from...

Hi All My 2001 w210 has been behaving recently, but today in the middle of the rain the wipers stopped working! I first checked the fuses which were fine so I removed the wiper motor and found the fault. The linkage has a ball joint that fits into a 'ball collar' on a small rectangle metal...

I have a 1992 R129.66 500 SL. It's a stunning looking car and in nice nick, I've had it just over a week and electrical faults are driving me bananas. Please can someone offer help ? Problems :- If I start the car in one go (ie. don't keep the key in pos 2 for too long), when the engine has...

Noticed my wiper was louder than usual this morning,sure it's the mechanism rather than the blade so does anyone know if it just needs lubricating & if so what is the best way to go about it,cheers in advance for any help;)

I have a C180 Kompressor SE Auto. For some reason my auto wipers are not working. If I put my wipes into position 1 (auto) the wipers go intermittently. I have checked my windscreen and it looks to have 2 sensors on the top. I assume one for auto lights and one for auto wipers? Is there a...

Hi All, My wipers stopped working recently. They work sometimes and then they don't....My local MB garage reset the computer and they worked for a day and then back to square one. It seems to happen more often when it is cold or damp in the morning. I also get a msg that says "display...

Hi all, My w203's wipers don't seem to automatically sense rain, as one might reasonably expect rain-sensing wipers to do. Some very quick testing showed that: If left in the I position (the first one that's not off), and then the engine started, the wipers won't move until water is dumped...

Must be perfect conditition. Thanks Piers

Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I have a noisy windscreen wiper, lots of rain its quiet, when dry its quiet but when fine rain it chatters across the screen. They are only 4 ot 5 months old and have been doing this from about a month old. They are genuine MB replacement...

Hi all I have finally replaced the S202 (C200) with a rather smashing S210 (E320 CDI 2000/X) After looking at some terrible examples I have found one which has fairly sound bodywork (yes really) appart form the tops of the rear doors which have slight corrosion! Engine sounds good and appart...

Hi all, new to this place as you may be able to tell...Had Audi before so now bought a Merc and thought would join this forum.....I have more mods than you can shake a stick at to do to my C Class including brabus springs, brabus alloys, AMG bumpers and skirts, new leather trim, comand, dvd and...

Hi Guys, Just picked up a 2003 c200 cdi coupe, having a slight problem however, wipers are not working at all from stalk, however when driving the car home the wipers did randomly sweep the screen a couple of times.... Does anyone have any suggestions...

A few weeks ago I replaced my wiper blades with proper MB ones. I then applied RainX (i know, bad mistake), it says that RainX can be applied to a windscreen, however my new blades have never worked correctly. Im not sure whether this is due to the RainX or not. The are squeaking in all types...

Need to purchase new blades so do I go for Merc OEM replacements. Halfords - Bosch (if I could understand their numbering system, and they had the right ones!) or upgrade to the new flat ones with new arms too... Decisions, decisions.... All advice apreciated. :confused:

No movement in the windscreen wiper department. Fuse is OK I suspect motor, but how to check/access? Is a relay involved? Thanks in advance mw

My windscreen developed a huge crack last week and was promptly replaced by Autoglass. As it's a mod I'm interested in I asked for a windscreen with the clip and gap in the shade area for a rain sensor. I believe I have three items to purchase: the sensor, a small wiring loom and a cover for...

Posting the half-price MOT stirred up the inevitable "they only want to find stuff wrong to charge for" so... Latest offer from Merc retail (for the Midlands that's B'ham, Solihull and Tamworth) is free front wiper blades. Yes, they also check the car over (and do a mini-valet - i.e. just the...

See: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=66159 The momentum seems to have dried up over the last 2 days and it's slipping down the Classifieds list :(. I want to get my extra £1.38 discount on the NF600 ;), so let's have those last 4 votes he needs.... Perhaps I'll get a special...
