bas esp and abs lights on E240

[uksamsung]

Hi everyone, i am very new to this car

i bought second hand E240 W reg 3 weeks ago.

everything was fine until last week, suddenlly while driving the bas esp and abs light was on, when i restart the engine, the light was gone. however, i feel there is some "leather touching" noise at steerting when i turn, apat from that everything was fine

brough back to garage they change a new fuse or switch

however, today suddenly the three lights was one again and was off when i restart it. the steering start making some "leacther" touching noise again.

what should i do ? the warrany had run out from the garage.

is tehre anything wrong with the car?

how do i check if there is a fault with abs, esp or bas ? it seem everything was fine.

i am worried and any comment is most welcome

thanks alot

could be anything, from stop light switch to abs/esp ecu, or anything in between, best advice take to mercedes specialist or dealer if none local, where are you located??

this could be the steering angle sensor, this can cause the lights to illuminate also, cheers

Steering wheel off, pop a new one on and bang the wheel back. Had it done recently on mine. I'm not sure on cost as it was a warranty job but I can't see it being a lot.

However you're best getting the fault codes read to confirm.
I guess if its really shot you could hear it squeaking though mine never made itself known.

Alternatively on my W reg 240 I ended up with a new steering rack to fix a squeak.
Start with the fault codes though - hopefully its just the switch.
Warrington isn't too far from Sheffield so it may be worth a trip over the pennines ....

Sheffield eh - not far away from me .... Its not a tektite grey E240 is it .........?
