w245

Hi, I’ve been trawling the Internet along with YouTube, several Mercedes sites and I’m getting nowhere in my search of trying to find the timing chain tensioner location on a 2010 B class 2ltr CDI (w245) I believe this is the inline 4 engine? The only engine code I can find OM640 but not 100%...

I realise I need to take the vehicle in to a garage to have it properly assessed, but pre-empting that, any thoughts on what could be causing this curious uneven wear pattern on my LH (nearside) rear tyre? - to the left of the approximate centreline of the tyre, the surface pattern is pretty...

My driver's side washer jet keeps getting blocked. I can temporarily clear its holes by shoving a pin down 'em, but it's only a matter of time before they clog again. I've looked but I can't see immediately see how to access it to remove for cleaning or replacement. Any pointers would be...

Hi, I have a Mercedes Benz W245 (year 2009). I had an ELV (or Electronic Steering Lock) issue recently and hence ended up disassembling part of the steering wheel (I only realised later that I didn't need to disassemble the steering column to remove the ELV, because my ELV was in an unlocked...

Hi guys, Anyone know how to change the bulb. I see the white panel where the bulb I assume sits but how do you change the bulb?

Hello, My wife's trusty old W210 E320 CDI is slowly becoming EOL, and we need a new a vehicle. After some deliberations I have come to believe the W245 B-class may be a suitable replacement. However, I am not very well-versed in this car and know little about it in terms of reliability and...

Hello, My 2008 B200 SE CDI which I've just bought (a month ago) from an independent dealer is OK in every respect, but it has had 17" wheels with low profile tyres fitted (from new according to the works specification booklet that came with it). The ride is quite harsh and I'm already...

After cleaning EGR something happened with the glow plugs, as before everything was fine. Now glow plugs don't work, as in the morning when it's feezing outside, it takes a while for the engine to start. After starting, the glow plugs light on dash stays on for the whole ride, although few times...

Hi fellow Mercedes owners! I have a question for our more mechanically experienced friends: How is the hand brake adjusted on a W245? Is it on the callipers or is it under the car somewhere? Any guidance would be gratefully received!! Many thanks, Dave
