    Issue with 2014 E300 Hybrid (W212)

    I recently bought a used E300 Hybrid (W212) from 2014 from an official Mercedes dealer. The car is awesome and great fun to drive but the hybrid features have only worked for a few days right after I bought it and have not worked since. By "hybrid features" I mean the engine turning off when you...

    Hi, I have been a mercedes owner for many years. Currently driving an E300 Hybrid Estate, a model which I note is now discontinued. Wonderful for long trips, especially as I don't have to refill the tank that often.......Bliss!

    E300 Hybrid System not engaging

    I wonder if I can ask other E300 owners if they have experienced a similar issue to me with the Hybrid system of their cars. I have a 2014MY E300 with around 40K miles. I'm used to the Hybrid engaging right from the off, with sometimes a small lag which I assume - in cold weather - allows the...

    E300 Hybrid - don't buy it for the mpg

    For anyone thinking of buying an E300 hybrid, I would think that the real-world mpg might be the deciding factor. The official figures are 65mpg+, but obviously that is not going to be achievable with normal driving. I do a lot of miles on hilly B roads, interspersed with a few longer...

    W124 intermittent power steering

    My 1996 E300 D developed a fault last night. All of the dash board indication lights lit up (kind of half illuminated) and the power steering stopped working. There is also a loud squeeling noise coming from the engine. I wonder if there is a belt that drives something to do with the power...
