Re: Problems with the Cooling System

Thank you very much; I will be sure to send that information on to the dealer when I deliver it to their door on Monday at 08:01. Excellent individual.

Re: Problems with the Cooling System

You have my gratitude. Completed the six-month mark. It was in a French Mercedes dealership, but no one there could locate it. I'm currently on my way back to Scotland, and the car is running like a dream. However, the last time we had this problem, the RAC person indicated that he had just ...

Problems with the Cooling System

My vehicle is a 2024 GLE450D Premium. The problem notice "Cooling System Malfunction, Reduced Drive System Perform" has shown twice in the six months that I've owned it. Come to the workshop. I can keep going (like a tractor), but there's no acceleration, and the car loses a lot of power. On both ...

Re: Nothing is heating up in the front seats.

I think it's a good place to start by seeing how firm the seats are.
The comparison could reveal a problem.


The voltage at the supply terminal should be checked, however if the SAM detects an open cct after a short while, it may disconnect power.
Twelve volts might not be right.

Re: Economic model for the Chr. Phev

Thank you for the response. I was hoping it would be a hit on the charge mode, but I only used it for a short while (a few miles) and, as expected, it didn't charge too much, thus I didn't notice a dramatic drop in consumption. Until around two weeks ago, I had no idea that this feature even existed ...

Economic model for the Chr. Phev

I've been quite thrilled with the fuel efficiency of my chr phev since I got it in December. I usually use it for short trips around town, which are about 30 to 40 miles. I have probably put about £40 worth of petrol in and covered about 1200 miles. A number of my upcoming trips will be longer ...

Re: By the way, which year is this E350 CDI?

Yeah, you should be careful with adblue or use gasser instead :)


For Adblue, the problem begins at temperatures below -11C, when the liquid begins to freeze. The mechanism does indeed turn on the warmth while the car is running and turns it off when it comes to a stop. Unfortunately, problems do ...

Re: Problem with the new glow plugs on W211 OM642.

The right glow plugs for my engine are 4.4v beru. The best course of action would be to keep an eye on things to see whether the problem continues; if it does, then get a new relay, even though the current one is supposed to be the right one.

Re: Problem with the new glow plugs on W211 OM642.

Apologies for the delayed response. After replacing the glow plug, I encountered an additional issue with the car. It was determined that the culprit was the exhaust back pressure sensor, which was causing it to exhibit abnormal behaviour. True, I checked the plugs after removing them and found that ...
