Thanks for the info, 75w85 seems to be the correct oil for S213 2017 e220, yes? (I wrongly stated 75w140 in the OP, which appears to be for AMG)

Thanks guys. Well familiar with the general idea (lost count of times i've done it over the years on previous cars) and also used to marine gearboxes... just checking that there's nothing out of the ordinary. Is it a hex head or nut? (any idea of size?) And any idea of what oil to use? Also...

Hi all, Car is now 6 years old so not going to dealer, just hit 60k Km. What oil should be used? I see Castrol Syntrax 75w-140 being mentioned, 1200ML. Can anyone offer any advise? Is it just a basic drain / fill plug? (Is it hex/allen or a nut?) - I work on all my own marine diesel engines /...

That's reassuring! I think it's all about who does the actual remap / adjustment of the ECU file itself.

Well aware of that - That's why my indie friend said 'grey area' - AdBlue / DPF are all part of a family.... some AdBlue deletes also either deletes the DPF, or can cause havok with the DPF / Regenerate. From basic Googling, there are lots of threads (Lots of Mercs) stating they got an AdBlue...

What car did you your AdBlue delete on? Be interested to see how you get on / any issues arising from doing same.

I did, but even my indie (friend) mechanic is encouraging me on such a marque of car to just have things running right. He does AdBlue deletes and has done plenty on Mercs, but when I asked him about DPF regeneration also being deleted, he said it's a bit of a grey area. That said, he said any...

Thanks for the info - I'll bookmark that! It looks like the video I posted was not from an EClass - Any other videos I found for an EClass tank, everything is on the bottom of the tank. I think i'm just going to have to bite the bullet and have the AdBlue tank replaced.... living in Ireland...

Hi all, I have a 2017 S213 (Estate) E220d. EML came on during the week, hooked up my basic Torque diagnostics - Fault Code U05A3. Google tells me Adblue Fill Level Sensor which is confirmed that when I check level of Adblue it tells me cannot detect level. It appears that Merc want to change...

Thanks all - so no 'coding' or 'resetting' via diagnostics required? On a side note - as mentioned above, I previously had the battery removed for over a week - didn't lose any 'memory' etc! Isin't that what the AUX battery is for?

Hi all, Going to replace starter battery in my 2017 S213 E-Class (2.0 Diesel Estate) - I see people online about having to 'reset' when new battery installed. Is this true? I had the starter battery disconnected for over a week a while back and when I reconnected, all was fine! (I know there's...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I doubt it's that as the bonnet release pull (and surrounding area) were completely dry, however i'll give it another look. The car is currently drying out for the next few days. With everything exposed, I was hoping to see if more water comes in but as luck...

Couldn't agree more! Parts diagrams to seem to show a left / right drain tube (plastic, rather than a rubber tube) - these are not present and from looking at pictures I can't make sense of how they'd fit / route. Also no drain tube on the central tube, but as poster above said this is normal...

There is no drain as far as I can see. But having looked in there (removed the filter and housing), completely dry.

Sorry it may have actually been a miscommunication on my side re. central drain. A poster mentioned a central drain but when I was given screenshots, there's no sign of a central drain. I've seen the pictures of the drain tubes you mention, the problem is I don't see where they would mount on...

Thanks for that - Weird that a US forum is saying there IS a central drain, talk about confusing! It seems crazy that water drains down along the heat shielding, making the area wet? - Not that I don't believe you, just sounds mad! Re. the side drains - yes i've seen pics, they're plastic...

It's not that it's blocked, there's no drain hose! So basically that drain is just a hole! See the end of my video above... at the end of the video thats the passenger side (left side) drain hole - it's a single hole, as opposed to 2 grilles in the middle and 1 grille on the right (drivers side)

OK so I am confident that the water is entering via the sheering shaft.... i'm of the opinion it shouldn't be able to get in there (I will remove the remaining panels tomorrow to get proper access to this as they need to be dried regardless). So, it turns out, there's 3 drains on my windshield...

So you're saying it SHOULD just drain down between the firewall / bulkhead? I've look down there and it's all wet.... surely not? I have the drains cleared of any debris but what was there, no way it would block the drains.... Someone on another forum is saying there SHOULD be a drain pipe...

On further investigation regarding the windscreen drains, something seems really wrong here. See the video below.... when I pour water it just goes straight down, between the firewall / engine bulkhead... I suspect this is where my problem is. Surely there's drain hoses missing here? I had the...
