Yes in that case then a manufacturing fault.

My Cousin, under my recommendation I might add, has a July 2018 GLA 200 Sport, this after having 4 BMW's in a row. He is a cautious driver , 36,700 miles and the original rear tyres. Imagine his surprise when a check coolant appeared on the screen. There is oil in the coolant, I seem to...

Does it happen when you have a front seat passenger? I have a slight rattle too but it's the unoccupied seat that's the culprit.

I had the same issue, then a long drive up to Aberdeenshire 250 miles cured it , it is working intermittently now I am back home, just one more button to switch off when the engine starts!

What with Stop Start, Add Blue, Catalytic Converters and all the rest of the 'environmental benefits' we have to endure, the garages must be smiling all the way to the bank. I wonder what will they dream up about electric cars? Non wheel slip acceleration perhaps.

When I bought my 2013 e250 cdi from the main dealer I specifically asked if the transmission fluid had been changed, 53K miles he got flustered and made assumptions that yes it must have been as there had been over £1K spent on the car, new tyres anyway, I then asked to see the service history...

Thank you for that, phew! Now you have me wondering if I have been using those rose tinted glasses again, I must admit i have had a fleeting moment of wonder about the Jaguar I Pace, I do think in the not too distant future they will become much more common.

Other than this rather disappointing problem, how do you rate the 2016 S Class, I still pine for my W220, the comfort in those cars is outstanding.

Those w220 are a very comfortable cruiser and you have a very respectable mpg to boot.I had a s320 straight 6 diesel the sound of which gladdened the heart, it had 180k miles and i had no notion of changing, there was practically no rust, although I think it was about to start appearing, anyway...

Thank you, I saw those, just wondering if the forum have any different recommendations.

As per heading, I need a manual for my 2013 E250 saloon, anybody or anywhere to recommend?

I certainly will.

It's a very clean 2013 with 54k on the clock. Very pleased with it especially the bit where it shows 50mpg, it didn't come with an owners manual, which the Approved Mercedes dealer is chasing up at the moment, I did ask if the gearbox oil had been changed or flushed, to be honest I don't think...

I note you haven't had a reply to your query. I bought an E 250 Blue Efficiency sport last week and it doesn't 'stop start', I don't know if it has been disabled , but I don't intend to enable it anyway!

Well the problem seems to lie with one of the SAM's, there had been water under the footwell on the drivers side a year or so ago, and i checked it periodically and it was still dry after cleaning out the drains, but it has come back ,maybe not just as deep as the first time but it shouldn't be...

I'm afraid I prefer to leave that to the professionals. Trouble is the professional i used had a heart attack and is unlikely to be back anytime soon, he had a Merc himself and was conversant with their weakness. When I was fitting the fully charged battery there was a sound from the disc player...

A few months ago a large drain on my battery was correctly diagnosed as a faulty block heater by one of the bloggers here. That was disconnected and all was well and dandy until today! Another flat battery, I had a fully charged one in the garage and I fitted it and all was well, except that...

Couldn't agree more, that way you are sure nothing is going to get fried.

Where would that leave you in the event of an accident?

Well, go to the top of the class LostKiwi, it WAS the block heater, drawing 20amps apparently. I am now negotiating with the dealer to see if he will take the battery back, it was diagnosed as a flat battery by Mobilo, no mention that the battery might be healthy enough, and that there might be...
