    S500 W220 Lumbar Support Problem

    W220 S Class 320 CDI loss of drive from transmission

    Hi, I had quite a moment on the M25 today when my S320 CDI without any warning lost drive. All I felt was complete lack of throttle response before the car coasted to a halt.

    W220 320 CDI - Torque Converter Recon Needed?

    Hello, A while back I posted about an issue I was having with my W220... between 1100 and 1300 RPM I would get the "rumble-strip" vibration. We changed the fluid to 236.14 Fuchs, new filter, and, for a while, all seemed well. There still was some very mild vibration, but it was tolerable...

    Hello, Okay... all these posts about DPF today reminded me of a thing I was thinking about a while ago... I go to Germany quite a fair bit and as some of you probably know, they now have the Umweltzone in city centers which is not accessible to cars below EURO4. As it is, my W220 does not...

    W220 - replacing speakers (by Bose ones?)

    Hello again Ok so today I tried to play some classical/opera music in the car and discovered that the speakers struggle/pop/screech when it comes to high tones. Clearly, not worthy of an S-class auto mobile. I read in other posts (Thanks Television!) that it is an exercise in dumbness to try...

    C216/ W221 - I broke the telephone keypad - expensive mistake :(

    I thought I would give my windscreen a quick wipe this afternoon, but as I reached across to the passenger side, I rested my elbow on the keypad instead of the armrest! One loud click, and it snapped! What a expensive mistake, the cost to replace it would have paid for a full valet :cry...
