Wierd **** happening here. 2001 c200 coupe. :wink:

Had rear tyres replaced (exaclty the same as the ones that came off).
The fitter did not have the wieghts to balance the wheels correctly, so I set off on my journey with intentions to get the balancing done the next day.

30 minutes or so into my journey I get an indication on the computer. ""ESP Visit workshop!"" :shock:

Took the car to nearest mercedes dealers and they looked at it but could not find a fault/ neither could they delete the alarm. They told me to book it in. :-x

Got the wheels balanced up, all ok there and a few days later the alarm cleared. Then a few days after that it cam back as ""ESP Unavailable"", a day later it cleared and the next day it says "ESP Visit Workshop"". :twisted:

Am I having a problem here or what? The ESP seems to be working fine and I can manually adjust the function on or off. Also it kicks in when I try to spin the wheels at the back. So all seems normal. :p

Anyone got any bright ideas that may save me a fortune??? : :?

Thanks for the reply. All the tyres are the same. I thought presure! I will check that first.

Any one else?
