    C63 Delayed gear change

    I think there is a program on star to test the gearbox. Best to do that first. You say that servicing is up to date but how long ago and how many miles ago was the gearbox serviced? A lot of places just don't do the gearbox. Is it also delaying with the paddle shift?

    Yesterday I fully charged the battery and kept the car disconnected while I did, to force a hard reset on the navigation system. I'll see if it helps.

    W205/S205 2019 facelift Comand issues

    I'm having some issues with my NTG5.5 system. Its just developed a new fault. The navigation shows me on a road, but when I make a turning, it still thinks I'm going straight on the original road! Then after quite a bit, it may jump to the correct location, until I make a turning again. The...

    No push start button ?

    I have 2019 C220d and it has only keyless start. I think all the entry level mercs come with keyless start only. You have to get premium or premium plus to get keyless entry.

    No push start button ?

    There is a big difference between keyless go and keyless entry. The ones that can be stolen easily have keyless entry. The signal is picked up remotely using a computer and then the car is unlocked. It can also be driven away as the laptop forms the key so the car thinks the key is present. If...

    R230 SL55 central locking radio receiver amplifier

    Just looking through the whole post, it does look like it's the right one, and accessed without taking the dash out. There is a lot of interesting info in the post so maybe a good idea to read through it all again. Good luck and let us know if you sorted it in the end!

    Help needed with my W124 engine

    Is that for HFM? You can smell the richness, it's running rich! I'll be changing the plugs anyway as a previous owner may have fitted resistor type.

    Help needed with my W124 engine

    How much of a 96 M111.960 engine is vacuum controlled? I thought it was mainly the older ones like 230E, etc and not the newer ones? The error codes are pointing to the throttle (a well known issue) and o2 sensor I think?

    Help needed with my W124 engine

    Just had a look and my car has the old 16 pin connector - the one with 4 pins to one side, etc. What can be read on one of those? Is it compatible with anything?

    Help needed with my W124 engine

    I already have an iCarsoft. I realise that you are talking about carsoft but is there any way I can connect my unit via an adapter?

    Help needed with my W124 engine

    What type of connector do I have on the w124 and what kind of data would I get if I spent £200 on the carsoft kit? Would it give me specific fault codes for items or more general information?
