In Australia a STAR or XENTRY diagnostic will cost you about AUS$300 or US$180 and will give you as a DIY person sufficient knowledge to fix it. My iCarsoft MB II is good, but an indie with a XENTRY has better explanations in the written quote. A Merc stealership will cost you AUS$300 PER...

Here in Australia a STAR check and written quote for repair is AU$300, which fits in with the 110 Pounds in Britain.

This is not called "limp mode" when you no longer are able to start, limp mode means it harshly moves into R or D and in Drive it has moved into 2nd gear and will not change gears even up to 3,000RPM. Your problem has been my problem with the ESL motor losing it carbon brushes. $5 motor from...

Limp Mode-Many PLS HELP topics, but did you get it fixed? Tell me pls! Hi, Glad to see a General Merc forum here as limp mode seems to be a common problem in many models. Mine is a C220 W204 2007 153k km...

Aliexpress will sell new caps and a dipstick for $25, while stealerships want $75. Have a 12VDC pump to pump out gear box oil vi dip stick which stank and was black as two stealerships did not change oil at 60k km and 120k km. Must have laser thermometer to measure level at 80 degrees, so become...

My C220 CDI W204 switched the RH parking lights on intermittently and this forum suggested switch light switch to AUTO and not to OFF and that seems to work. But I still have problems and will keep on looking!

Can give two solutions here, but still need help after: 1 Aliexpress sells a $4 volt meter plus two USB outputs for cigar lighter. Ideal as it will give you charging voltage rate plus, if you are quick at startup will also give you battery at rest voltage. Charging max. should be about 14.3VDC...

The $5 Aliexpress motor in the ESL is slowly failing until it fails completely leaving you with a locked wheel and no starting. Two possibilities: 1. Hopefully you stopped in a garage and the ESL motor has not burned out yet. You push the key in, if there is a noise the steering lock is...

Late reply as my W204 2007 just refused to start with code A25464 "Electric Steering Column lock has a malfunction". Web tells me it is a $10 motor of the ELS, which lifts/drops the locking pin. There are two videos on the web from a Melbournian how to get the motor changed: First of all, put...

Error message related to 2054-007 states: “The fuel temperature sensor on line to B50 is open circuit or shorted out” or similar. In my case the sensor still had about 1.6 kOhm resistance and 3 kOhm seems to be recommended, but anyway, I changed the part and have no more problems. Take those...

Fixed it! Just changed the part and now have no more problems. Explained below: Error message related to 2054-007 states: “The fuel temperature sensor B50 is open circuit or shorted out”. In my case the sensor still had about 1.6 kOhm resistance and 3 kOhm seems to be recommended, but anyway, I...

Take those fat air pipes off, pull out pin of clip RH side, remove (twist) pin in middle and on LH side squeeze edges in. Have new part ready from Aliexpress for $25. Remove electrics. Take 19mm tube spanner out of your plumbing kit as 19mm ring is not easy to use as there is no room. Install...

Thanks for that. Can buy it for even less from Aliexpress. But what sort of a torque should be used screwing it in with that 19mm long socket or ring? Is an M12 hex. By the way, my error was 2054-007 Sensor short or open.

Buy a A0009050800, if that is the right model, for the fuel temp. sensor from Aliexpress for US$20, take the air hose off, notice some brass colour below the fuel pump at the front, take the plug off, check for 3 kilo Ohm resistance at the two pins, if open circuit or short use your 19mm spanner...
