    Hi! I think it was roughly £156 or so, parts and labour.

    Headlight Flickering

    Hope it doesn't need completely replacing. That's something that keeps me up at night! I will have to pay another visit to my local specialist and see what they say. Cheers.

    Headlight Flickering

    Thanks for that. I have wondered myself if it's something like that. I haven't taken it anywhere yet. Interestingly when the light goes out there is no error messages on the dash... I hope it's not another massive bill! Cheers.

    Headlight Flickering

    Hi all. I've recently noticed that my nearside headlight on my 2013 CLS keeps flickering on and off. It doesn't always do it, but when it does its not long before it works normally. Also I've had an error message saying adaptive high beam unavailable, followed shortly after with adaptive high...

    Cls 350 cdi gear box problems

    An update for anyone who wants to know.... The cause of my limp mode and engine management light was a dodgy exhaust pressure sensor. All fixed now thanks to my local Merc specialists. Glad it wasn't something more serious. Thanks to this forum for all the knowledgeable people calming my...

    Cls 350 cdi gear box problems

    A little update, I have had to take the car home ready for when it goes to its garage appointment and when I started it low and behold the engine management light came on. I was actually quite relieved because at least they will be able to pin point the problem. Hopefully! Cheers.

    Cls 350 cdi gear box problems

    Yeah. Left the car at work, and borrowed a van. I don't want to compound the issue. Hopefully it's a sensor somewhere and not another massive bill. I've already had the dreaded oil cooler O rings replaced at great expense.

    Cls 350 cdi gear box problems

    Hi. No warning lights of any kind. I switched the engine/ignition off and on and it briefly returned to normal only to start with the aforementioned problems again. I will book it in with my local Mercedes specialist on Monday morning for a proper diagnosis and remedy. Thanks very much.

    Cls 350 cdi gear box problems

    Hello all. All this happened to me this morning. From cold start up, it has weird gearchanges, no kick down, no power like it should have. Hopefully, thanks to this ace forum, it is the DPF sensor. Fingers crossed!

    Oil Change Due - Do You Buy Your Own?

    HI all. I like to change my oil every 5k or so. I buy a 20ltr cube off ebay for about £70 ish, and buy the genuine filters from whoever is selling them cheapest, (about £7-£8 each) and I use a vacuum pump to suck it out of the sump. Nice easy job that takes about half an hour or so.

    M278 V8..

    Happy new year! Hi all, I am considering buying a 2011 E class coupe with the very rare twin turbo,M278 4.7 V8. My question is, does anyone know how to find out if it is a Nanoslide engine or the Silitec engine. As usual, many thanks in advance.

    New to me car, but....

    Hi all, and thank you for all your invaluable info, hints and thoughts. I thought I'd give a little update. Nice car the W213, but I've gone back to a cls. The difference in interior quality is quite obvious. The cls feels like a real solid quality item, and the E class less so. That's just my...

    New to me car, but....

    Hi all. Thanks for the info. In recent trips out in the car it's been as quiet as a church in it. It's one of those things that a garage would be chasing and chasing. I think for the minute, I will live with it. Apart from that, a lovely car, that despite being poverty spec, has everything I...

    New to me car, but....

    Cheers. There is a definite noise coming from the passenger door, and there was a particularly bad noise coming from the centre console where the cup holders are. No loose keys or coins or anything, just a constant ticking/buzzing today. I will be calling my local dealership.

    I also meant to ask if anyone else out there with a W213 has had similar problems with theirs?

    New to me car, but....

    Lol, there was no demo drive. Basically I bought it over the phone, drove my trusty old CLS up to the dealership, and p'xed it. As it's such low mileage I just expected it to be great, and to be fair, it is. Just the rattles!

    Yeah, I will probably phone and see what kind of response I get. :D
