problems

Hi, I picked up a used 2013 E class E300DE 1 week ago about 100 miles away from my home. When I Test drove it and the hybrid side of things felt fine, the battery on the dashboard is charging it would cut to electric at 0-20MPG, or when I stop at traffic lights it would change and pull to...

Hi. This is my first post. Having read through previous posts I see that some MB owners have had problems with their paintwork coming out in micro-blisters. Did MB help out with remedying the defect for anyone? Did you have to go to Court to get their attention? My 2012 C180 estate in solid red...

Hey guys, Im looking to buy a C250d (2012-2013). For my budget ive found a couple with around 35K on the clock. Now, ive done my research on mercedes diesel engines and have come across a few horror stories i.e. black death. Ive also heard of people describing, especially with the 250's, a lag...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. A few months ago I purchased my first Mercedes. It is a 2007 CLS 320CDI with the 7G. As with any second hand car you only have so long to see if you can spot anything obvious and it seemed like a good car. It does however have a few issues. I would not...

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...

I suppose this isn't necessarily a Mercedes issue, more a dealership issue, but given my car is a Mercedes I thought I'd post my story and ask opinion/advice, prior to any next moves. There's a long story here attributed to the purchase and ownership of my CL600 since its purchase in November...

Hi, I just bout a clk 270cdi auto 2003 model, I drove it about 180 miles and must say the drive is superb! I started driving it today in traffic and the car just cut out and wouldn't start again. No malfunctions are showing and was driving perfectly before that. When you insert the key and try...

I am constantly fighting myself trying to decide what to do about changing my car. My E220 W210 saloon has done well but is looking shabby. I have parts to put on and paint to touch up but still its done over 200k and I'm waiting for the next big bill that will take it off the road. I...

Hi, Good evening.... I am new to the forum, and indeed to Mercedes ownership. My father has had, and still runs a couple of E-classes including a 1998 E300TD with 270k miles (immaculate). I have just purchased, at 33 years old, my first Mercedes, a rather lovely 2003 S500 L, fully loaded in...

Finally, if I do try to do a hand-back, what problems am I likely to face? I have heard that MB are not very forgiving when it comes to small scratches, or curbed wheels. Which unfortunately my car has suffered thanks to the ability of the average british driver. I can safely say you will...

Hi there, My name is Samir and I am currently living and working in Dublin. ROI. I currently drive a 1998 Altezza. I have always had a sweet spot for the CLK 230K and I am supposed to go view one in the evening LINK, if all goes well; I will be swapping the Tezza for the 1998 CLK 230...

Hi, I've just replaced 4 of the rear suspension arms/struts on my W210 saloon - all of them on both sides except the main arm that the spring and shock attach to. Did this to try and fix a shaking that only occurs when I turn right especially going around roundabouts. The final arms I changed...

Lately the following problems have started, since yesterday, my car won't start first time, it is drinking fuel, if I'm on even a slight hill my car has problems getting to 20mph....

Hi all, I just purchased a 1974 280 w114, and have a problem with it that could probably be an easy fix (hopefully). here the story goes. I just purchased a 1974 MB 280 (W114) and it is in great condition with 130,000 miles. I inspected the car, checked the oil, coolant and air filter...

Hi all, first post here. I recently purchased a 2005 C220 CDi auto estate, in the main very happy. Have had a number of problems with the gearbox. Firstly and this has now happened 3 times, when pulling away hard the car accelerates perfectly, but when I ease off there is a sort of...
