Command comes on but no sound

We have a 2013 E350 sedan. The unit looks like it's working right but there is no sound. We have reset the command system and it has worked other times we try to reset and it doesn't work. Sometimes when we turn the car on it works other times it doesn't. Any suggestions on where to look?

How to navigate to tire pressures 2009 e320

I am trying to figure out how to read my tire pressures. I have found several posts and YouTubes on how to do this but they all involve using a right, left arrow key and or an OK button. My car has neither. I have an up, down set of keys, 2 menu looking keys and + - keys. I run in circles and can't find any service menu or anything other than resetting the tire pressure system. I want to navigate to tire pressures so I can see what the system thinks the pressures are? Thanks, Bruce

1992 500SEL Transmission Issues

Hey all, I have a 92 500SEL I have been resurrecting from neglect. The shifting has always been a little choppy and not super smooth. I know these 722.3 transmissions are finicky, but I do think mine MAY have been rebuilt at some point. The shifts are strong with no slipping, and it goes into reverse perfectly.

rear cross member ex-ADF U1700L vs U1300L

Hi, I am looking at mounting a winch to the rear of my U1300L. Here in Australia there are a few options available for the ex-ADF U1700L's. My rear cross member looks very similar but I've been unable to confirm the dimension differences. Here's a picture of mine (all in millimetres): Any chance someone with an ex-ADF Mog could compare please? Cheers Andre

1972 250c power windows not working

Seems as if I'm having the same power window issue as many other w114s. They stopped working last year but at that time it was just the fuses. They stopped working again recently and replacing all new fuses didn't fix the issue. All the motors seem to work fine so I'm assuming it's a relay issue. For the time being until I find replacement relays, what would be the best way to get the windows down manually for the summer? Can I open up the interior door panel and bring them down from inside?

Picked up a vintage MB and im confused on the chassis

Hello everyone i recently picked up a 1975 MB 300d. Im very confused with everything im reading. From what ive read the w115 and w114 chassis only came with 4cyl and 6 cyl motors but mine has a 5cyl diesel(Om617 i think). My car also came with an origional data card and on the data card it says 240D so i thought maybe it was a 240D but that wouldnt make sense since i have a 5cyl diesel. Then theres the vin plate on the door jam that reads "115 114 12 040222" so im led to believe its a w115... Picked up a vintage MB and im confused on the chassis

BCM Connector Replacement - water/corrosion

Out of curiosity, but has anyone here had to replace their BCM connector at all? Or better yet - replace the terminals/pins within the connector? The previous owner of my 2004 E320 never replaced the third brake light, which is notorious for allowing water to leak into the trunk. The water pools up on the plastic cover/trim right above the BCM, which of course passes over the BCM and its associated connector. After disconnecting the connector, I was able to clean the pins on the BCM itself... BCM Connector Replacement - water/corrosion

Roof stuck down

The roof is stuck down on a 06 SL 500. The front part of the truck on the passanger' side is up about 1 to 2 inches and the drivers sides is down flush. I did just replace the starter and disconnected the battery. I did reset the windows but the whole system is dead. Any pointers would be appreciated, my wife just bought the car and I haven't had time to do the research yet.

EGR problem on 99 E300td

Hey guys, I have a 99 E300TD with about 140k on the clock. The check engine light came on and we scanneed it. Its reading P0400, which says an EGR malfunction. I tried to do a little bit of homework on here and I'm reading about the EGR tube getting clogged. I reset the code to see if it comes back on again but in the mean time I'd like to take a look at the EGR system. The problem is I have no idea where the EGR is on this damn car.

Hey guys, I have a 99 E300TD with about 140k on the clock. The check engine light came on and we scanneed it. Its reading P0400, which says an EGR malfunction. I tried to do a little bit of homework on here and I'm reading about the EGR tube getting clogged. I reset the code to see if it comes back on again but in the mean time I'd like to take a look at the EGR system.

Battery - Brand is critical?

I have a 2007 SL550 I bought a year ago. A year ago, the main battery -- rear, in trunk-- went dead. I replaced the battery with a NAPA 850CCA exact replacement. I have not had any problems except, what seems to be "slow cranking," but never had a starting problem. I did have the famous transmission control module issue and when I took it in for a module replacement, the Mercedes shop (independent) told me that it would be a real good idea to change the main battery--in trunk-- with a...

Progress!

The 1958 Unimog I recently purchased initially had a 617 NA in it, but saw sold without any engine. I'd been on the hunt for a few weeks when I found a 1980 300SD locally, non running. The seller told me the car was purchased at auction, and needed a starter. We got it home, saw there was at least a starter on it, and decided to run some power to it to start diagnosing. To our surprise, the car actually started up and ran quite well! Other than a valve adjustment, what might be some... Progress!

Authorization key for a APP ID 254

I asked this question in a different thread but that was a mistake so I apologize for the duplication. Can an authorization key be generated for a Xentry Tab 2 with an App id 254 hardware ID aC0AD6D4E035 system number 345757. I ask because I need the key but also I see a lot of APP ID of 252 and was not sure if the 254 is an issue. Thanks in advance

b160 purge valve location

Hi guys, new b160 owner here. Bought the car this week, 2011, 80000 Kms. Very happy with is so far. Only one thing got me worrying at the moment. At idle there is a ticking sound from the engine bay. First i thought it was a bad valve lifter. After some googletime I found it might be the purge valve. Hope that's it. To investigate further I need to know the location of this valve. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

W126 Seat Adjustment Switch (500 vs 560)

Does anybody know if 1987 560 SEC seats are controlled by the same switch that came stock in a 1984 500 SEC? It appears (I could be wrong!) that later (eg 1990-1991) 560 SECs used a different switch than 500 SECs. Thanks!

Downpipe heat shield

The amount of heat coming from my downpipes into the drivers footwell is getting unbearably hot, is there a heat shield underneath my driver's side down pipe that I am missing ? Or do I need to wrap something on it to stop the heat. It's a 1988 560sl.

Will these Monoblocks fit ?

Sorry if this question has been asked numerous times, but Im having trouble understanding offsets and "the Chart" that folks seem to refer too. Im looking to see if an real AMG monoblock 7.5 inch with a 42 offset will fit my 95 E300. Just looking for a direct swap for my 15's. The AMG's part number starts with a 124 so Im thinking they will fit but I defer to you guys who know a whole lot more than I do about offsets. Can someone help? Thanks in Advance.

alignment questions, reading values.

Took my w212 e350 to a local mechanic shop and shown below is what the machine read. my question is, how bad is the alignment? do these cars have a special "within spec" range or is it like any other normal alignment. thanks!

2010 ML 350 Diesel High Oil Consumption

I have a 2010 Bluetech, it had a clogged dpf, and an underboost code with no power not going over 45. Finally parts came in to do the recall. Had the oil cooler done at the same time. After recall work is done it's running fine again but now it's burning through oil. Oil light is coming on every 300 miles or so. I'm tired of throwing money at this thing. Dealership doesn't seem to know what's wrong, they want to do an oil consumption test for 600. I just want MBUSA to do a buy back and be... 2010 ML 350 Diesel High Oil Consumption

Engine photo thoughts. Planning to look at '93 300SE

Hi, I'm planning to look at a '93 300SE. Its a California car that drove cross country to NY about 10 years ago. There are some unusual issues that might mean something, or not be as big a deal as I'm concerned about. Its dirty from being outside this past mild winter, but I don't know about other years. The interior looks less cracked, even the drivers seat, than I usually see. I just got a pic of the engine, and its a bit oily with some odd rusty areas, though there was no body rust in...
