dashboard

Hi guys, I'm looking at a 300SE but my problem is it is an import and so the gauges are in KPH. As I'm in the UK I'd ideally like MPH gauges so is it a simple case of swapping out the whole gauge cluster or is it more involved? Do I have to source a replacement cluster from exactly the same...

Hi sprinter community. The dashboard on my sprinter has been glitching up "SPS" a few weeks back. Over the weekend, other glitches have emerged on the dashboard including the backlight and "Brake" symbol. Moreover, when I turn on my fulls, the light bulb signal also pops up that there is a...

Help! W205 C300 facelift creaking/rattle sound I have recently bought my first Mercedes (pic) and have to say I absolutely love it. Sadly, I am quickly becoming detached from it as I am constantly hearing new rattles from various places and the car is barely a year old. This particular sound...

Hi folks, picked up my A-class yesterday and I’m pretty chuffed. I got it from Mercedes used in Scotland and drove it back to Northern Ireland. Got a 3 year old A180 Amg line and so far so good. Only issue is when I collected it from the dealer there was damage to the carbon dashboard. I was...

The car doesn’t start occasionally. The battery was changed 2 weeks ago, everything was working perfectly fine until the problem occurred again. You can hear specific noise while trying to start the car, additionally dashboard doesn’t light up while starting the car. Can it be the starter motor...

Hi friends I have a w124 and I would like to make the gauges glow , make only the letters glow instead of the whole dashboard . I found such gauges on internet but they are all for petrol engine (7000 max rpm) but I have a diesel one (6000 max rpm). So I want to make my stock gauges glow. How...

I hope someone can help me out on this:- the car starts but the whole of the dashboard is dead, none of the gauges e.g. tach, fuel, speedometer etc move, also, the dash warning lights do not come on either. The engine starts and the indicators work on the outside but there is no 'clicking' sound...

Hello all, I bought this lovely car last week (23k mileage) and have a few niggles that maybe you can help with :) 1) White smoke production from exhaust when idle - this has settled slightly the more I drive it. One of the members suggested this is normal (in another post), so hopefully...

Hello, I recently bought a 1994 E320 couple, which sadly only came with one key and one immobiliser fob. this fob fits into the dashboard, where it has to be inserted for five seconds before you can start the car. I'm fine with keeping it, but the problem is that I only have one of them...

My 2002 W209 CLK 320 has started making the dreaded clicking noise from within the dashboard when you turn on the ignition. I've read on the forums that this a either a broken or jammed actuator (and therefore a big job) but I was wondering if: 1) you can tell if the actuators are broken or...

Hi everyone Got into the car yesterday - instrument cluster - DEAD! Indicators work, but no "tick tock" sound etc. No speedo/rev counter/temp/fuel gauge etc. Headlights wont switch off with the key in the ignition. They turn off when taking the key out. After about 10 mins, some lights...

I have a C250 D estate, 1998 model, and recently over the last few months the daskboard display bits (speedo, rev counter, fuel gauge, temp sensor) have stopped working intermittently, but it seems to be getting worse. Usually it happens when I start the car, either they will all work, or...

My 2002 S320 Diesel developed a fault yesterday on the way back from the airport, having been stood for a week. Firstly, the backlight on the dashboard went, then about 10 mins later so did all the dials, indicators and everything else on the dashboard. All other electrics appear to be...

Just acquired an e230 merc. It has two problems. 1. Just last week it developed a problem with the brakes. Basically when you press the break pedal it sounds as though the abs pump has kicked in - in normal driving/braking conditions. Also there is NO judder on the pedal. It is a sensor, fuse...
