woes

Evening guys. Something odd has happened to the glove box CD changers. I have no lights and when I press a button on the changer the Audio 20 unit just sits on please wait. If I press the CDC button on the Audio 20 unit, it says CD 4 Track 6 which was the last thing that I was listening to...

Hello all - I was wondering whether there are any members familiar with the M113 5.4L? I am having two issues: 1) Air conditioning is making a groaning noise when switched on - AC compressor was replaced 3 months ago (DENSO part) and has been quite since but for the last week it is very...

Why don't main dealers fix things any more... On top of the on going noisy fuel pump that blights the SLK range... I have Issues with a plastic insert at the top of the filler neck, it has a habit of coming adrift from it's fixing and jamming at an obscure angle once the fuel cap is put in place...

i did a scan using ICS MB2 to check my air con, as it does not seem to get that cold, despite being regassed a few weeks ago. The following codes were stored: 960015 - the left sun sensor has a malfunction. There is a short circuit to ground or open circuit 90A907 - the actuator motor for the...

Firstly - hi :thumb: Have been using the forum as a source of information for my new purchase over the last month or so and meaning to sign up. Sadly my new purchase did not go as planned. Not sure if this post is looking for sympathy or advice but it will hopefully serve as a warning to...

Hi guys, I've just finnished a year and a half long engine rebuild of my 1975 280ce (W114). Engine is the M110.981 with Bosch D-jetronic. When I turn the key the engine fires up then dies about 3 seconds later. With the throttle wide open it'll run for about 5 to 8 seconds. If you immediately...

Hi all, My first thread so be gentle. I have upgraded my 639 Vito stereo, but I am having trouble with it turning on/off. It seems like it has a mind of it's own. Initially it wouldn't turn on, open the side door it came to life. It would then turn off when the door switch was being made and...

I've had my E350 for a few years now and have rattled off a good 40k miles. Although it was on 95k when I bought it, it was perfectly serviced as it was the MD's car of a Mercedes main dealers. Driving back from the east coast on Friday when it started making a whistling noise, my first...

Hi guys, my C320 w203 model, has a fault with the drivers electric window. It has stuck down, and won't come up at all. This happened a few days ago, once, and after I opened and shut the door it worked ok, should have taken that as a warning, but didnt! Anyway, now it's down and won't budge...

I was on Motability for 10 years, latterly for 4½ years I have had a B200 B Class. I have just been assessed by DWP/PIP and the B Class now has to go back. I'm appealing etc but the car goes anyway, even before the appeals. Naturally I'm very very unhappy, but it has been a good 4½...

My poor old R129 has been a bit left out recently, what with my recent purchase of a CLS500 and then further purchase of a Porsche 997. Having served me well over the summer (where it was lavished with a full engine and gearbox service, along with new front latch hydraulic seals), it hasn't been...

I've posted this elsewhere as I'm trying to reach the widest number of people to sort it out.... My CLK55 has an ongoing problem in that I can have wipers or indicators but not both - consistently - at the same time. My indy has fitted s/h stalks but has said that the main problem is with a...

All, Firstly, apologies that this is going to be a bit of a long one – there’s a fair bit of background to go through alas. I have put postings up earlier this year with regards to problems with the roof mechanism on my 1995 SL500. I decided to bite the bullet and took it to an MB...

Hi All, I've (still) got my Merc ML430. Ultra reliable.....apart fom jammed lamella roof...which I can live with. BUT - leaking oil from (low pressure?) hose. Does anyone know where I can get part numbers, or an exploded view of this area? There are plenty of US-LHD vehicle pictures floating...

Hello all, our Ml 270cdi has been going into intermittent limp mode for the last week or so, either full on power, or gutless acceleration, no kick down/low on power etc. I've read the codes with my icarsoft scanner and I've got - "P1403-008- Exhaust Gas Recirculation open circuit" So, does this...

Well, I'm now about onto my 4th used pump in as many months to solve an inoperative trunk lock. Today I opened it to go to the store, and upon returning in 30 minutes it no longer works. Same MO yet again. Everything else on the car works fine that uses vacuum, the trunk opening feature just...

Hi, can anyone help with my aircon experience? My 2011 c180 w204 aircon stopped working (with the flashing red light when the AC button is pressed). Had it regassed twice by HiQ, who used dye, but couldn't find a leak in spite of the fault reoccurring after both attempts. So I took it to a...

I bought a CLS 320 CDI over a month ago, in London. As the usual process post buying a car from a private seller, I took it in for a service and to get a few issues fixed (like front brakes/tyres). I thought there was an oil leak somewhere, and unfortunately I was right, it was coming from the...
