w211

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...

Hello! I got an W211 from 2003 - E200. My car starts but dies in a few moments. I have searched for errors and the only errors is "2511-1" - Y27/9 (Left EGR Positioner) Fault X. Where should i begin to search? I have looked for any threads about this, and i couldnt find any reason to fix...

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...

Hi, The driver's (rhs) door mirror on my w211 e class has developed a mine of its own . It will be fine for ages then will, for no apparent reason, tilt itself up as far as it will go and the door controls won't bring it back down. There also seems to be an issue with the heating on that...

I've tried to change the time on the clock using my Comand system, but when I change the minutes (clock is 1 minute slow) it changes them by 30 mins only! (It's a 2004 W211 with sat nav/video/phone/multi-CD etc.). The handbook says you can't change single minutes when GPS is enabled. How do you...

Can you change the centre caps on alloy wheels without removing the wheels? My car is fitted with Rucha 5-spoke diamond-cut alloys (7.5J ET42 225-55 R16 95W) and I want to fit modern 75mm (3in) centre caps.

If I replace the speedo binacle in my W211 E-class will I retain the original mileage figure? My E-class has a speedo in km/h and I am thinking of changing it for one showing miles.

Hi all, Having trouble connecting my bluetooth adapter B6 787 6168 connecting to my w211 e320 2004. I've followed the instructions on the manual and manage to pair the phone to the adapter using code 62872 (the adapter gets the solid blue light) although it says no telephone inserted on my...

Hi all, Trying to figure out the best way to add DAB to my w211.I like the standard factory fitted Comand system. So have been looking at DAB adapters. Not trying to sound to picky but not really up for anything on the dash unless its subtle and definitely don't want a cigarette lighter power...

Hi all, Just bought a 2004 w211 e320 and having a few niggles. My Nav / GPS is playing up. My location is showing that I'm out at sea and from my understanding the Comand setting to change date and time is linked to the GPS ie. with GPS & nav enabled systems you can't manually set the date or...
