w204

My Mercedes W204 C250 sometimes cuts off when driving. At times, it cuts out and starts back up almost immediately as can be seen in the first half of the video in the link attached. However, sometimes it can come to a complete stop and thereafter refuse to start again as shown in the second...

Hi, I’ve just got myself a 2008 C Class Estate. The car has done just 28,000 miles with full main dealer history, having had just one owner for almost its entire life. Anyway, it’s had the “C180” de-badged at the back and I’d like to stick the letters back on. I can see cheap ones on eBay etc...

My first foray into mercedes ownership.

Hi I have a W204 c180k 2008. My front doors won't lock or unlock from the key or the buttons inside so I have to lock them manually.

Hi all! Hoping someone can help for some reason my infotainment system on my 2014(63) W204 C200 cdi switches on and then switches off again immediately as soon as I switch the ignition on. Has anyone experienced this before and can anyone advise what the issue is/might be…?

Hi all, Following a largely successful attempt at EQ'ing the car using an iPad + HouseCurve + microphone, a Pixel 6 Pro + Neutron Player, and a Tunai Firefly LDAC (the sound quaility is sooooo much better), the next step is to look at speaker replacement. I am much happier than I was, but now...

After starting the car in the morning (this problem happens only in the morning) and driving, the car does not exceed 2000-2500 rpm and does not pull. When I'm braking at the moment when the speed is about 20 km/h, the car gives a small shock, after I stop and restart the car, everything returns...

Hello everyone, I've been checking the engine coolant level for a while since it reduced abnormally recently and if it's reduced I add it up to keep the normal level. Then I realized that there were oil leak signs under the air intake area (passenger side of the engine) as well. These are what...

W204 OM642 engine with 215,000 miles. Was driving home and the car would only shift up at 3000rpm (normally 1500rpm). Felt like loss of turbo power although I could still get up to 70mph which was not my experience in other cars where limp mode kicked in or turbo failed. No dash lights or...

Hello, Have S204, C-class, 200CDI, year 2010, around 360.000km (or 225.000 miles) and all is great, but I would like to know how you can check if clutch is at the end of the life and need replacement? To me, shifting is good, don't see any problem, maybe only when I need to start moving...

Bit of an odd one: Just been away for a week, and left the car in the airport car park in Manchester. Got back, everything fine, but the time on the dash was wrong. Like, completely wrong by a few hours and some minutes. I had to stop and set it because it irritated me, and now it seems fine...

Hey, I have a W204 OM651 with the 722.6 gearbox - turns out the filler pipe has snapped (completely sheared off) and oil can leak out when driving. Had the box recently serviced aswell, so thinking I replace the pipe and top up the transmission with oil. Is it easy to replace the pipe? TIA
