Hi, This is my first post regarding my first Mercedes :( My car is a C180, year 2010 with about 70k on the clock. One day I was driving it and it suddenly had the engine lights on and lost all power completely. AA came, looked at it, said it lost compression, could be a timing chain issue...

Hi All - Our S320 3.2 petrol 2002 went off for some new parts at the local garage.. It was there a while, and when we picked it up, the battery was only just strong enough to start it. At home, it sat for a while (3rd utility car) and the battery was totally flat when I came to start it. To get...

Hi all, Apologies, I wasn't sure if this thread belonged in here, but thought it was the best fit. I drive a Mercedes A-class and have been in an accident where I went into the back of a 4x4. It’s damaged the grill, badge and slightly displaced the bumper and bonnet. I have tried resetting the...

Hi, I've owned a 2007 S500 for the last five years. Over the last few months, the MP3/Radio has packed up and now only rarely comes on intermittently. It was working fine before. The GPS is fine, so it's just the MP3/Radio unit. I spoke to the garage who services the car for me and they told...

Evening all! So my W202 is back with me after a bit of a fall out with the boss of the bodyshop I used. He lied to me about my car being ready several times, was told today it'd be ready late afternoon but still wasn't ready... And he wasn't around. So the other gents peeled away from their...

Hi folks, 2003 W211. Left-hand exhaust pipe mount has broken. Also the cross brace (between rear sections of left and right pipes). Corrosion is the problem. Need to drop it into my indie Merc-man. Anyone able to comment about how difficult or costly this job might be? Is there...

Mods, please move this to DIY section... OK Chaps, so after much poking around it has been determined that my wagon needs the front ABC valve block stripped out and cleaned due to gunk buildup. I've asked for it to be rebuilt as well- new O-rings and spacers- and in order to do this have...

Someone took the turning of a junction too tightly and took the nearside front bumper of my parked, 2011 CLS with it. Just a month old to me. It looks like most will buff out with some minor paintwork repair. Lights intact and only minor (approx 5mm) of movement in the bumper towards the...

Well, so much for my replacement driver's seat. The company who quoted called me to say that they were mistaken and didn't have one. I've found one at a scrappers- correct colour/spec and apparently operational, but with a massive rip to the bolster. Are these detachable parts? If so I could...

I finally found a suitable armrest on eBay to dismantle and harvest parts to get my car's front armrest holding in the upright position. This post was most helpful: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w124-e-ce-d-td-class/1681362-swapping-arm-rest-installng-arm-rest.html I had to sacrifice a...

A140D/51. It started as a simple job - replace the fuse protecting the interior light/radio with an identical one of the correct rating. Which resulted in smoke, burning, and somewhere a fried loom. Car won't start/window stuck down. I'd like to find an expert repairer who I can take it to and...
