w211

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...

Hi all I have owned this my second merc for the past 8 years before this I had the 2001 E220 Cdi and have been two of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. That said I would normally fix any problems myself as I was brought up fixing cars with my dad. This problem has me a little confused.

My E350 wagon has a refrigerant leak. Car had been sat for some time (on sales forecourts) and the engineer thinks it's the compressor seals, as it fills and holds pressure happily but loses it as soon as the compressor runs. Even under UV, he can't see a visible leak anywhere. I'm thinking of...

We have a W211 E220 CDi estate with the dreaded SRS light on atm. Icarsoft points to the NS sensor on the front bumper impact bar (i know, a proper STAR read is needed :P ) As its the pita one to get to of the two we cant check the cable continuity/clean the contacts to see if that rectifies...

What is the best way to uprate the dipped headlight bulbs on my W211 E-class? The current halogen bulbs give a poor image and are not up to the car's performance. The headlight lenses are not opaque so it must be the bulbs. I've fitted Nightbusters to the main beams; should I do the same for the...

For sure this question has been asked many times but I would like to ask it again due to the fact that technique is developing very quickly. Anyone knows a good and reliable tyres for W211 E320 CDI ? Uptill now I am using MICHELIN Primacy HP 225/55 R16 95 W. These tyres are doing very good but...

Hi folks, I thought I'd drop by and post this here in the hope it helps someone else. My own search for answers brought me through these forums time and time again but I happened to find the answer on an obscure video elsewhere after hours of searching. Apologies in advance if this is in fact...

Hi. Just bought an E280 last week, the 2006 facelift model and have a few issues to sort out. Got it at a decent price so can't complain really. Electrics wise I have two problems, any suggestions would be much appreciated. The interior roof lights don't work at all, ambient, reading, normal...

Hi. Looking for recommendations for tyres for an 2006 E280. Just bought the car last week and drove it in the rain for the first time today, it was scary on roundabouts even at very low speeds (unless you really enjoy losing grip obviously, my wife didn't appreciate it much!) the tyres fitted...

So ladies and gents, as some of you may know I have decided to chop the X Trail in against a W211 estate and have spent the last few weeks looking. Been to see two, both lemons with major SBC problems. I have two lined up to see tomorrow so hands off those on Leics! Anyway, I've found this...

Hello All My f/o seat belt is fraying and probably won't pass the next MOT, having given it a shave twice already. It's on a W211 270 Saloon 2003. What are the steps for removing and replacing the seatbelt unit. I've had a quick search and the nearest I found was the removal of the B...

Hi all. I am still in search for the only one. Came across one with Cat "D". As I'm not Merc expert I need to ask you guys what might be wrong (apart from obvious visible damage) with the one attached? I mean is there any electronic devices behind headlamps and bumper which could be costly to...

Do I really have to remove the rear view mirror and drop the whole OHP off just to change the bulbs or is there an easier way, obvious to everyone but me :confused: I know it's an easy 2 min job but ..

Hello members, I am troubleshooting a 722.699 gearbox with "no acceleration/no power" in D or R mode. I have a E-220 CDi [W211] - 2002 with 234k km. Performed the ATF service and changed the Electronic Conductor Plate/Plug/Seals. But still after few days of driving this stubborn car is in "Stand...
