fuel gauge

Good morning, I have just purchased my first Mercedes. A 2004 w211 320cdi estate, it has some issues. 1. Key fobs do not lock/unlock car. 2. Interior courtesy lights do not operate automatically but do manually. 3. Fuel gauge doesn't work. Other than that it's a pleasure to drive. Any advice...

Hi, I’m not sure if this is a common problem but I recently bought a 2008 C320, while I’m driving, the comand screen closes for no reason and I lose rear indicators and also the last couple of times the fuel gauge drops and I also get what sounds like a ticking sound from the speakers when I’m...

Hi all I have just bought a SL55 2004. Fuel always reading 3/4. My friend has a Chinese knock off Star System. I followed the star step by step to diagnose. I diconnected the plug on the fuel sender unit on the petrol tank and put various resistors on the plug socket from 51ohms to 1000...

Hi I'm new to this forum and I could use some good advise from you guys. Recently my W203 220 CDI 2003 cut off in the middle of the road without any bad or wired noise coming from the car, it just turned off by it self. The diesel gauge is showing that is has half tank of fuel. I couldn't...

Hello, can anyone give me advice on solving a fuel gauge problem, if it is not the sensor in the fuel tank that is causing the problem? The gauge is inaccurately reading, sometimes approximately correct, then at other times sticking at 'full' when the tank is definitely less than half full...

Following a minor bump to the rear of my 57 ML420 CDi it's started with some strange electrical faults. Not long after the bump, the door locks and tailgate randomly locked/unlocked whilst driving and various lights switched themselves on and off. Anyway, whilst these seem to have fixed...

Hi I am the proud owner of a 1995 C280 Sport auto, which I purchased recently. Its a great car to drive, being quiet and fairly quick. However there are a few problems with the dashboard wiring. Firstly, the fuel gauge sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The heater control lights flash on...

Hi All! Bit odd this one - I filled my w202 yesterday afternoon, used it once after that (didn't have any issues, still showed full). However, got in this morning, turned her on. Fuel guage didn't move off the empty stop!! Slightly panicing as I didn't smell any fuel to denote a leak (I'm...
