    ambient lighting not working

    I had a similar issue with my W205 a few years back. During the 'B' service, the L/H passenger kick panel is removed to change the cabin filter this necessitates unplugging the ambient lighting cable. On this occasion, it was not reconnected.

    MBUX. NTG6 - USB Ports

    All the ports in my car are USB-C, and there are two in the centre console. The issue is (and as I understand it is a known problem) if I insert a USB-C flash drive with music into one port and another USB-C flash drive with speed cams into the 2nd port only one port will work. PS: I use USB-C...

    Aye, and it's quite some accolade when a marque such as Aston Martin are now installing this engine in their vehicles

    Automatic Gearbox Service

    Seem to remember I had the same issue with my W204, so I took it to an=n indie who drained the ATF (partial change) and then a month later changed the ATF again. Not very satisfactory but better than nothing.

    W213 Brake Judder

    Aye, although all Mercedes wheel bolts are now M14 x 1.5 pitch; my C Class was W205 & W204 were 130NM but the S213 is 150NM with the same size bolt.

    Trickle charger

    This is the correct connection for a trickle charger on my S213. Look for the red sliding cover and this is where you connect the positive (red) cable and the brass nut (earth) this is where you connect the negative (black) cable. Hope this helps.
