w210

Hi all, My duo valve has failed, it only blows hot. The umbrella things have broken and one is lost. I believe that the source of the problem though don't know for sure. I am taking the car abroad in a couple of days (yes I know it was silly to leave it until until now but I've been too...

Greetings. My Mercedes has a heater that is only giving out very 'tepid' heat. My mechanic has been looking at the problem. He has checked the thermostat - that is fine. He has checked the DuoValves (knackered and to be replaced - is it worth getting one from a breakers ? ) He states they...

Ive lowered my car a while back on recommended lowering springs and adjusted the self leveling by loosening the clamp on the sway bar. however when i did it i broke it and had to make a new clamp. It has worked and the SLS does work under load as it should. however the car does sit very very...

i made a thread about this before but id rather start a new one now that i have more detail. Car used to be fine, one day driving the problem just started. everything feels normal, kick down works, can still drive fast. triptronic works perfectly, holds the gear in and lets me rev to...

Hi, I'm having problems with my S210 e320 cdi (200k miles), it's seriously lacking power. The car will accelerate quite normally up to about 30-40 miles per hour but then just seems to really struggle to gain speed. The car doesn't want to rev up and has no power top end, it struggles to rev up...

Hi any advice would be much appreciated. I have a E240 2000 I drove my car about 50m from where I live and stopped at traffic lights at which point all the warning lights came on and the car switched off. My key turns and all lights come on but the engine won't start. No ticking noise...no...

Ive had my S210 since early last year, when i first got it my best was 51 mpg on a long trip. it would shoot up to 40+ atleast easily on a not so long motorway commute. and easily 35-40 around town. Nowdays im honestly struggling to break 35 on the motorway with a feather foot, i hit 40 on a...

My throttle is getting stuck in the half on position. At first when in park turning it on it starting screaming up the revs and i had to switch off quickly before it redlined. The throttle springs back from full on to about 30-40% on position but wont go all the way back to the bottom, as if...

Tried searching about and cant get the info i want. Im not sure what this fan is actually called, its the fan between the engine and the radiator that spins off the pulley system. Somehow, im not sure how the fan has been damaged, two of the blades have corners broken off. i actually believe...

Guys, I have tried locating the topic on the forum without success. I have got a 2001 E200K Elegance - beautiful machine indeed. I keep seeing people with same age cars on the forums with displays showing their fuel consumption as say 6.8L/100KM where mine says say 8KM/L. This is really...

When i first bought the car early 2015 i had an uncomfortable summer because my AC wasnt working atall, wouldnt blow atall cold in general let alone with the ac on. I didn't bother getting it refilled. Now its winter and its the opposite, it wont blow even remotely hot. I finally got it...

I was working on my nearside electrics box and i took out the Gear box ECU control unit, part number a 030 545 20 32. I barely noticed when i first took it out i thought it was just a bit of oil on the wires. I tried to use the car later on and it was in hard limp mode, no shifting from 2nd...

I managed to fix my left side repeater on the wingmirror, I originally thought was the cause but it seems not. All repeaters/bulbs etc in the whole car now work fine, I've changed the ones that were wrong. Although the dash still comes up as defective light. There seems to be no obvious...

Hi all, Just an aspirational MB owner at the moment (I covet the W210 E55 AMG) and I'm looking forward to chat with as many of you as possible in the near future. Roger

Righto, just had my first mot on my w210. Various thing to report, unfortunately its failed.... BUT only on some pesky lamps and indicator problems. My straight pipe exhaust (described on the advisories as 'heavily modified':lol: ) has passed. The upper cat and one of the two lower cats...

Well guys I messed up. I tried fitting the springs I bought that I made a thread about earlier. Neither of them fit, the pigtails are wrong sized and the rear ones are too wide. In a stupid moment of spontaneousness I cut the rear springs by 2 coils instead thinking it wouldn't be so bad...

Hi guys i need a bushing for my w210 2002 e320, Its the one in the rear left hub carrier that fits into the lower control arm bushing. Number 20 in the picture, the part code is apparently MB 220-352-02-27 but im struggling to source it anywhere. This certainly looks right, but can anyone...
