My car started throwing up EGR codes, I bought an OBD scanner to check codes, you should to. The EGR valve would have cost £250+, but after lots of reading yesterday, the advice was to disable\delete the EGR by way of an engine remap. I wouldn't have considered a remap, but for less than the...

On OBD scanner might be able to read codes and give you a rough idea of where to look, much cheaper than the £170/hr After trusting garages to diagnose issues for years, I bought a FIXD OBD scanner last week for £50 and already saved several hundred. Checked what the error codes meant, a little...

Looks great. Is it wrapped?

Getting the car serviced and ATF oil change at Silver Arrow MB in Titchfield tomorrow. No mention of them in this thread. They are only 3 miles down the road, chosen for convenience as I'll walk home and back while the car is being serviced. Had the car since July and this will be my first...

Finally has the weather and time today to locate all the fuse boards and check the 6 fuses (3 for each front seat) for the seat adjustments as shown on the fuse chart. I had no idea where the fuse boards were so this was good experience for when I need to swap a fuse in the future. There were 2...

As above. The guy on the phone had me searching for a button in the roof console for a while and getting frustrated. My car doesn't have the button but there was a saved contact in address book which I dialled instead. I also emailed a copy of my driving licence for photo ID. The whole thing...

If you don't mind sharing, was it a local garage who did the work. I need to get the rusted calipers on mine replaced.

I posted about the Car Play and Android Auto update in here Would you do me a huge favour and share a pic of what's in your boot under the mat. Mine seems bare, not even a wrench or jack to remove a wheel. If it's missing tools I'd like to know what I need to replace, thanks.

Same car and year as mine, I've had mine a month now and really enjoying it. The seller did a better job of polishing you car than mine. If you're planning on map upgrades and subscriptions to Mercedes Me services skip them and get the Carplay and Android Auto updates instead. Are your wheels...

Just been out for a quick drive and walk before it gets too hot and the paths gets crowded. After further listening it could be a belt noise and the sounds. When stopped near a wall I could still just about hear it, so it doesn't completely go away. The car still has 5 months warranty...

Yes, engine is smooth, no turbo like sounds when pushed either. Will try and book it in with an Mercedes specialist for next week. Tried calling today when I had a few mins free from work but no answer.

I've tried to find a solution on the internet but every post I've read is a fault with both seats with the issue usually being a pump fuse. The passenger seat works fine, only the driver seat controls aren't working. No whoosing sound when the controls are adjusted or clicking sounds. Are...

I've only been taking the car for a drive in the late afternoon, it's the first start of the day and I've noticed a whistle, doesn't sound like a belt. It's after a gentle 200m drive down the street to the junction. After the car has been parked up for an hour while I do some shopping or go...

With two S class Mercs and an A8 on the drive neighbours must thinking he's mad to be starting a wedding limo business during CV19.

I set mine after following this guide on Youtube. I do have memory seats though.

How was it attached previously, clips or adhesive? Some double sided tape will allow you to remove if you needed or a bit of glue to attach permanently.

This German Wikipedia page has better info. I have the same engine :)

Just arrived back home. Nice, friendly business and the update was done in just over an hour. I was booked in for the firmware and Mercedes map update at 150 each. While handing over the keys I asked if my car could be checked for Android auto compatibility as I didn't have the phone icon on...

The window closing reset plus many other tips are mentioned in MBZ Master's YouTube clips. If you're new to Mercedes like I am they are worth watching. One good tip show's how to set the nearside mirror to drop when reversing so you don't curb your wheels

Had a chance to give the audio a test on the commute back home on Friday, only my second drive in the car. I had some MP3s on USB but only at 256kbps. After switching between the radio and usb the bass didn't seem as overpowering. My initial listening was at low volumes, didn't want to annoy...
