Thanks for that. I guess I am looking for a recommendation from anybody that has needed to colour.
Overall the condition is good, and I have been cleaning and conditioning. I think the areas where it has started to lose colour is what lets it down.
I am looking at furniture clinic at the moment.
I have a 2003 CLK55 that has the following on its data card:
LEATHER - BLACK/ANTHRACITE (251A)
That looks to be the standard black leather interior for these cars, so no surprises there.
The leather is quite dry and there are also a few cracks in the mesh sections that are white-ish. Overall...
I bought a 2016 W213 with COMAND in the end. Everything is great except CarPlay has an issue where it will crash after 30 mins or so.
Looking online there doesn’t really seem to be a fix, other than to reboot, which is frustrating but I suppose not a big deal. Seems to be very common.

I’d like to source some brackets for the parking sensors on my W213 AMG Line.
Specifically I am looking for:
- the two outer front sensor brackets (nearest the front wheels)
- one of the outer rear sensor brackets (nearest the OSR wheel) - this one is angled
Do they exist? I can’t see the...
Super quick question for my 2016 E220d. Hoping a W213 AMG Line owner can help.
Did your car come from the factory with ‘AMG’ or ‘Mercedes Benz’ branded mats? Mine are missing. I want to be original, so whatever was from the factory.
My W204 C320 CDI Sport had ‘AMG’ mats, but that was a long...
I’m looking at early W213s at the moment. Late 2016 onwards.
As far as I can tell, they come with Audio 20 or COMAND.
Looking at catalogues online, it looks like COMAND came with CarPlay at least as early as Dec 16.
Some questions for those in the know:
- Can Audio 20 have CarPlay enabled? I...
Good to know that you got this sorted.
For others reading this, it is a tiny bit harder to buy used if your car has steering wheel shifters and keyless go. I messed around a bit with used parts for my 2003 CLK55 (which had both) before getting my old one repaired and refitted.
In the case of...
A bit of a thread resurrection, but does anybody know the answer to this?
Most cars fail on the seat base and I am thinking a Mercedes element would be the easiest repair (not having to do seat backs as well). I think the seat cover and element combined is uneconomical, but the element alone...
It’s a W209 CLK55 with an M113 engine.
There was a generic SRS message on the dash, I used an iCarsoft i980 code reader for codes.
After a bit of flapping around it looks like everything is sorted.
Embarrassing... this was a fuse.
Number 45, under the bonnet if anybody is curious. Must have blown after the initial diagnosis.
Hopefully related to the seat control module or occupancy sensor delete, both of which are now new.
Let’s see...
Car is a 2003 CLK55. A couples of years ago, I got an airbag code that was for a seat occupancy sensor. I bought a box of tricks to bypass the sensor, which came with another box to bypass the seatbelt sensor. Light reset and all fine.
More recently I had a sudden battery drain and loss of...
I've been wondering if there is a problem with the fuel economy of my 2008 C320 CDI pretty much since I have bought it.

I've spoken to the dealer who tells me that a best of 32 MPG from a tank on mostly motorway is within acceptable...
