w211

Hi All My E class 2005 W211 is showing an ABS and ESP malfunction. It's been plugged in for diagnostics to no avail. I've tried changing the brake light switch (youtube recommend that can apparently fix it sometimes - it didn't). Needs an MOT soon so am anxious to be able to resolve the...

I have a 2004 car with 177k which exhibits what Kent of Mercedessource describes as 'Dead body in the trunk syndrome,' as well as occasionally hearing a wheel bounce a couple of times on lumpy bits of road. Thinking rear shocks would be a good idea but the car doesn't justify spending a...

Good Evening My car is a 2006 E280 (pre-facelift) The air conditioning was not cooling the car but there were no errors reported. The B12/2 pressure was 3 bar with the engine off and rose to 5 bars with the engine running at idle. I contacted the local Mercedes dealer who recharged the air...

Hi All, I bought an used W211 220d 2003 model recently. When i checked the fuse box in the trunk, the fuse 13 is broken and no fuses in ports 11 and 12. What would be the implications. When i googled, i found that 11 - Rear end control unit ( found that fuse no 7 is also Rear end control...

Have had the water in boot after heavy rain for a while now - as I had the day off today so had a look. The rubber along the 'weather trim' on both sides was perished with cracks in it and coming away on one side. there was a considerable amount of gunk under each side and moisture so suspect...

Hi Folks, Im looking to fit new rear discs and pads on my 2005 E270. I assume I can disable the brake assist thing by simply disconnecting the battery? Otherwise it all looks quite straightforward. Sorry for such a basic question! Thanks, Nik

Hey there fellow drivers, so recently I have ran to this issue. To explain it as clear as possible, problem is that when car is standby (idling, not driving), heater blows cold air no matter what position it is in. When driving the car, all heater functions work as expected, hot air blows, but...

My steering wheel is in need of either a re-trim or replacement. What is the newest model steering wheel that could replace my wheel without the need for extensive modification?

Hi folks, I have a very beloved and trusty 2005 W211 E270, now with around 160k on the clock, having added around 100k myself over the last five and bit years. It's a brilliant car, and has been mercifully inexpensive to run and pretty trouble-free. The only possible niggle is it seems to get...

As above. Just as the weather takes a turn for the worst, the heater decides to only blow cold air. Everything else appears to be in order. Any suggestions? thanks

Good morning folks I have searched high and low and cannot get a definitive set of torque values for the three bolts holding my drive belt tensioner and two idler pulleys. Most of the forums show a tensioner with two bolts, but mine only has one bolt; please see the attached diagram from my...

This is my first post... nice to be here and hope to receive some pointers from those with oilier hands and wiser heads than me. My 2005 w211 E500 main (high) beam is stuck always on, even without the key in so i’ve had to disconnect the bulb to stop it flattening battery and annoying oncoming...

My 2004 E320 CDI has a vibration at 1500 to 2000 rpm under gentle acceleration. It's done 160k so I suspect engine mounts need replacement. I'm not planning on buying from main dealer, but see several different manufacturers available; Femi, Lemforder, Vaico etc. Also, some seem to specify left...

Both the CD and the printed Comand manual say that to turn off voice advice in nav, hold down the mute button for approx. 2 seconds while advice is being given. Sure enough, after two seconds there's a beep - but it has no effect! Does anyone know why, or if there's an answer?

I'm hearing a low whine from the transmission that, gear-by-gear (automatic), raises in pitch as the car accelerates. The car's done around 110,000 miles. Can anyone advise what the problem is likely to be? Thanks, Peter

Hi all, New to the forum and Mercedes. After years of owning large Vauxhall’s such as Carlton GSi, Senator 3.0 24v and lately Omega’s and I still have two 3.2 V6 Elite models. I feel like a change. I’ve been looking into various brands and vehicles.. Such as Jaguar S Type R, XF SV8...

Hi Folks, My 2005 E270 is currently on just under 150,000 miles, and to my knowledge has never had the gearbox oil changed. My understanding is this should be done every 70k or so. I've spoken to Coverdale in Newton Abbot about getting it done. They tell me that aside from main dealers they...

Hi folks, One of the headlamps on my 2005 W211 has gone pink, so it looks like I need to replace it. Never dealt with xenon beams before, so don't really know what to buy, but it seems like there are D1S, D2S, and even D3S - can anyone advise which type I need to buy, and maybe even point me in...
