Re: The exterior lights are suddenly turning on, W204.

I noticed it before it caused a flat battery on my W204 because it was always parked in a garage, which I am constantly entering and leaving. The simplest solution was to turn the light switch on and off again. If I had to guess, I'd say it's the SAM module that regulates the lighting. When you turn ...

Update on the C180's satnav

I was wondering if it would be possible to replace the outdated satellite navigation system in a 59-plate C180k estate with a more modern system, because it includes a pop-up infotainment unit.

Keeping an M57 engine in good working order: what fuel is best?

Hello there,

For my first time ever owning a diesel engine, I've recently bought a pre-LCI 530D (E61). Everyone says the engine is bulletproof.


is there anything else I need to know about maintaining a healthy engine and gearbox than deleting the swirl flaps (which the prior owner had already ...

Personally, I don't think it would look well on a black car, but then again, I wouldn't want a black automobile in general!

Re: Is privacy glass standard on all E and C-Class Mercedes now?

It looks nice, keeps the car cooler (particularly when parked facing the sun), and is a good choice overall, but it's even better if your children are unattractive. Being the first vehicle I've owned with it, it came standard on my vehicle. Having blue glass on my blue CLK was a nice touch—it was ...

Re: Strange leak of coolant N57D30 BWM F11 530D

pump for water? That's what happened on my e46 330d: I couldn't locate the leak, so I checked the water pump. A wobbling, viscous fan indicated that it was working, so it would be worth a go, but I'm not sure your car's setup is different.

Re: Harness for 2019 L551 P200 HSE Front Brakes

If you remove the wheel and measure the diameter with a tape measure, you should be able to determine the size of the rotor because there is a discrepancy of 24mm.
Take the calliper and rotor off and measure it precisely if you're still unsure.
It is my hope that this is of assistance.
