    Wait, is that the Shell garage in Woodford?

    Always mistrust the dealer

    Sounds like a load of tosh. Why would you want to intentionally waste tyres, discs and pads that still have x'000 miles of life left on them? Equally, it's wasting unnecessary time now on replacing something that doesn't need replacing. Also, it isn't really good on the environment - something...

    Dealers: How long does delivery take?

    Hi guys, I'm looking to order an A-Class and was wondering what sort of lead times to expect from ordering to taking delivery of the vehicle? Totally new to all this, so some ideas of approximate wait times would be most appreciated. Thanks!

    Engine cut out

    Just throwing it out there but I had exactly the same symptoms twice - it almost seems like I wrote it. Some members here suggested it was the crankshaft position sensor failing but unfortunately before I could replace it, the car got hit by another driver and written off whilst it was parked...

    Oil Leak after slight overfill/ thicker hot oil/disconnecting warning light

    Have a look here on how to test the sensor: http://www.w124performance.com/service/w124CD1/Program/Engine/602_603/18-220.pdf There's mention of fuse 8A, but that's probably for the whole instrument cluster. I would just replace the sensor and be done with the annoyance.

    S204 Rear License Plate Light Bulb Change

    Try here: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Mercedes-W204/113-ELEC-Trunk_License_Bulb_Replacement/113-ELEC-Trunk_License_Bulb_Replacement.htm I agree though, unnecessarily complicated procedure just to replace a bulb!

    Can somebody recommend a reputable auto electric brand?

    If you're wiring in an additional 12v socket and plugging in a USB car charger then I think any of the chargers from Aukey, RavPower and Anker are worth a look on Amazon.

    Possible door sensor faulty c320

    It should tell you which door is showing as open. There's a push-rod switch that is on the body of the vehicle next to the latch which gets pushed in when the door shuts. This tells the car that the door is closed. Ensure that your interior lights is set to light up when the door is open. Then...

    Similar question here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w205/649043-strange-icon-comand.html On another Google search it says it means your car is registered with the Mercedes Connect Me service. This allows you to use the Mercedes Me app.

    500SL R107 Fuel pump pressure

    If you have the VIN it may be easier to find out. Part is possibly: A 003 091 53 01 Googling that part no it appears to be 4 bar.

    W208 Audio 10 with 6 CD Changer

    Yeh seems a bit of a coincidence that all 4 units are faulty. Did you check and/or replace the fibre cable too? I had a similar issue for a couple of years. First started with audio cutting on and off randomly when playing the CD changer, then it started happening when playing the radio. Seemed...

    W208 Audio 10 with 6 CD Changer

    Could it be that the replacement CD changer and/or head unit from the breakers yard also have the same fault? I had the slightly newer Audio 10 on a W203 with a CD changer with very similar fault with audio constantly cutting out and turning back on before the CD changer stopped being detected...

    2006 B150 fuel guage stuck on empty

    Not 100% sure but the fuel pump is accessed from underneath the car. There's mention here that it's fixed itself after a few days, if that's of any help.

    Engine Hunting when on idle

    Does yours have the M271 engine? I had a similar issue on mines with the RPM fluctuating up and down when on idle. Turned out it was a split breather hose under the air box.

    W203 - Engine cut out and won't start

    Thanks guys. It was only a 3 minute journey to drop someone off. Weather was sunny but it was only 8.30am. The last time it happened was also a hot day. @alexanderfoti @ajlsl600 I have the iCarsoft i980 diagnostic tool. I'm assuming it has the ability to check the crankshaft RPM? The car did...

    W203 - Sudden loss of power and engine cut out

    Vid was just for demonstrating how it sounded when trying to start up, my car is a C200K Thanks. I'd rather the fuel pump than the chain. I've been reading on other forums people mentioning camshaft sensors? Could this be a possible line of enquiry in my case?

    W203 - Sudden loss of power and engine cut out

    Hmm, I'm not convinced it's the infamous 271 timing issue (yet). Signs indicate no fuel pressure and the engine did start a few hours later at the garage - at which point he kept revving it till 4k rpm. :eek: Really praying it's not the timing issue you say it is otherwise it's toast.

    W203 - Sudden loss of power and engine cut out

    Hi guys, Today my car suddenly lost power and the engine had cut out whilst driving. The engine would not start again and it would make a similar sound to this (from the 26 seconds mark): The vehicle cranks but would not start I had to call recovery and the recovery guy did some tests. He...
