w211

Hello everyone, new here, i have bought a 4th hand car with 100000 mileage with partial service history with EML. The engine on cold start didn't rattle and i have no problems with driving the car around and had done so forba few hundred miles. I did some research and went to several who...

Hi guys first time posting, hope you're well. I have an oil leak coming from my 2008 E320 cdi. It's somewhere at the front top of the engine bay but unsure where. It's leaking onto the rubber pipes below, undertray and onto the left side of the fan housing. I've also noticed a hose that's got a...

So my project is this as the 420cdi w211 isn't available where i live, i want to make my own, that's by getting a 220cdi and throw the engine away, and put the 420cdi in it, question is what about the OM629 reliability on the daily, i'm planning to do a tune, dpf and egr delete, most likely...

So. Got the offside door mirror assembly off to service the noisy power folding motor. Cannot remove the glass to get to the internal gubbins. Everything on YouTube and internet discussions I can find shows how to remove the pre-facelift glass with the metal clip running along one edge. Pics of...

Hi I'm looking to buy a S211 E280 or upwards, ideally E320 diesel, with a full cream/light leather interior, not black or grey. If anyone has one they might want to sell, or know someone that might, then let me know. Thanks

Hi Has anyone used this with their Audio 20 head unit in a W211? https://amzn.eu/gm4FFac I would like to use something like this and keep the original head unit.

Hello all, After an infuriating two months of searching online to try and make some sense of how to add Bluetooth or AUX to my w211, I have finally given up and decided to ask for help to look for solutions. For some context, I own an 04 w211 classic trim with the base AUDIO 20 (MF2310)...

Hello! I'm interested in buying W211 with atleast 3.0 diesel engine. I want something powerful, but at the same time reliable. What are the common problems to check out when buying used merc? I've found one that I like but it got 400k km on it (248,5k miles). It's om648 150kw I6 diesel. Is that...

Hi I have changed my key fob so that on the first press it just opens the drivers door. I have also seen that if you hold down the open button on the key fob the windows should open as well as the door unlock. Is this a specific option for selected W211's or have I missed something when I try...

This is my first post ever here! I love working on my car, its a burning hole that i cant ever seem to fulfill! I have an 05 W211 CDI. Im trying to isolate an issue that im experiencing after doing some work near the trunk fuse panel. So far, i got rid of the factory head unit, the factory amp...

It's on a 2004 straight 6..... Is it best coming out from underneath or from up top. If from the top, does the fan assembly need to come out? Thanks

Since buying my W211 I have found SBC Hold useful. I was wondering if any knows if SBC Hold just applies the brakes against the force of the engine or does it have some method to reliving the strain of the engine and brakes fighting against each other?

Hi, I’ve started feeling what can perhaps best be described as a shimmer through the drivetrain of my 2003, (now), 135,000 mile E320 CDi at various speed when accelerating medium/hard, with this shimmering only lasting for a second or 2 before everything smooths out again. From experience of...

I have a An E280 Estate 2006 and I am having issues with my central locking, all of a sudden it has stopped working and I need to use the emergency key. I have tested the 7.5Amp Fuse 8 in the boot and that is fine. I cannot see any IR signals from either fob on my phone (which can normally see...

Hi Has any of your seen/used one of these before? (attached photo) The E240 that I bought has the Mercedes sensors in the rear bumper but inside has this Singtech Car Reversing Obstacle Sensor which looks like an after market option. It works so I have no complaints. Possibly a replacement for...

Hi I'm going to have a look at a 2003 E-Class E320 Elegance (petrol) for sale this weekend. I was wondering if any owners have advice on what to look out for as I am new to Mercedes. Much appreciated.

Hi, i am looking to buy an old mercedes and i am not a fan of the models that came after 2009. I have found a 2002 w211 e270 diesel. The car seems to be in a good condition except for the milage ofcourse. The car has done 400.000km, so i want to know that should i go for it, the car is cheap and...

Hello, chaps, My 2009 W211 E280 should be with me shortly and I've tentatively booked a remap. The garage is an independent Mercedes specialist and the maps have a lifetime warranty so I trust the garage. Now, for £225, they are giving me a Stage 1 bhp hike from 190 to 270 which sounds INSANE...

Hello, chaps, The delivery of my 2009 E-Class estate has been delayed into next week because of the need to order a part. In the background, I'm quietly stocking up on things I'll add to the car but can't go any further until I know: The location of all the 12V power sockets Whether the car...

Hi Folks, I have a slight leak from my water pump on my ‘05 W211 E270, so I’m looking to replace it over the next few weeks. Seems like a fairly straightforward job, albeit I need to buy a T50 bit to take the idler pulley off. I also don’t have any “E” sockets, although regular hex sockets...
