    W211 cooling issue E220CDI

    So, started the car from cold and noted with a thermal camera that coolant was going straight to the radiator, so the thermostat was changed. So now the coolant temp gauge is sitting a good bit higher (around the 80C mark), but the cabin still feels cool. Anyone any ideas what to check next? I'm...

    W211 cooling issue E220CDI

    Thanks for this. Just wondering though, if the stat is fully open, what would cause the cooling fan to come on? Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk

    W211 cooling issue E220CDI

    While driving home today I noticed there was very little heat in the car interior, even when turned up to full heat. When I got out of the car I left it running and had a look under the bonnet. The electric fan was running and the radiator was cold - so cold that I could hold my hand flat on the...

    W211 Brakes creaking noise

    Brakes haven't been changed recently. They have just started to creak, and have been doing so for a while. Particularly on the rear calipers Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk

    W211 Brakes creaking noise

    Hi all When stopping and coming to a halt, or pressing the brake pedal when stopped, there's a lot of creaking noises from the actual brakes themselves. Did anyone know what the issue might be or what remedial steps should be taken to address this? Cheers D Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk

    W211 tyres

    Had some Horace (?) on the rear when I bought it. Got ~24k miles out of them. Swapped for Kumho KH31, got 14k from them. Then went for Bridgestone Turanza...11k miles. So sod that, I got some cheap landsails on. Just under 10k on them and they're now showing the wear indicators on them, plus...

    W211 2009 Audio 20 replacement

    Cheers Hank - I noticed that thread already - I want to have everything incorporated in the one head unit to be honest. I had also forgotten about the cradle that I have in the centre console - reading up on that I think that the cradle is just a BT adaptor - which means if I fitted a new head...

    W211 2009 Audio 20 replacement

    Thanks for the really detailed response. I'd forgotten that I'd need to install a GPS antenna, plus I'd looked at the double din GPS units and scared myself with the price of them. At least those from a reputable manufacturer like Pioneer or Alpine or such like. How can I tell if I have the...

    W211 2009 Audio 20 replacement

    Hi I have a W211, one of the very last ones, with, I think, the audio 20 stereo. I occasionally have issues with connectivity to the microphone when using the telephone. I can turn the radio off and back on again, and that cures it. Or turning the car off and restarting also cures it. Basically...

    W211 tyres

    I had these fitted yesterday. Got two of them for £90 each fitted and balanced. They were rated at A for wet weather grip and A for fuel consumption, and I also looked at some online reviews which were, by and large, favourable. So we'll see how they roll (no pun intended)...... Cheers D Sent...

    W211 tyres

    Anyone got any feedback on continental eco contact 6. I'm thinking about putting a couple on a E220Cdi. It's got the 16" wheels with 225/55 R16 size requirements. I'd appreciate any feedback people may have. Cheers D Sent from my M2007J20CG using Tapatalk

    W211. Moisture in boot.

    What is "gummipfledge"? I've seen it referred to on more than one occasion - just wondering what it is? Or is it just a colloquialism for silicone sealant?
