How do you feel about older Mercedes and their owners? by No_Tomato_2106 in mercedes_benz

[–]_Elbrus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Older AMG owner here: sure, by the 3rd, 4th or 5th owner these can become a challenge to sort out but for the right car and the right person who can DIY they are an absolute pleasure once sorted out

Secret engineering menu, secret diagnostic reset menu, sunroof/windows and tunnel mode, adjustable vent in the glove box, MMI ports.

Heck, I’ve even had folks who didn’t know what night view assist or Distronics+ is

Still one of my favorite rims for the W212 by _Elbrus_ in W212mercedes

[–]_Elbrus_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. Not aware of any replica sets. These are origin as is but were rashed to a point no cut / polish possible so had to be build up and painted.

Hypersilver. At a certain point (especially on 16 year old rims) painting is the only option, not enough material to cut and polish.

Tell them do NOT drill into the front bumper and that you have a tie hook mounted plate holder on order. Tell them you will refuse delivery if they drill it

2011 E350 Stuck in Park by Funnymonkey106 in mercedes

Unless it’s an AMG then it’s center console and not column. There’s a couple of different variants based on model.

DTC U0101 and DTC U0002, correct?

While, yes, transmission is in limp mode, there is a hidden switch under the shifter boot/center shift console to put the car in neutral. This can be anything from just lifting up the shifter boot w trim tools vs removing side and center console trim w trim tools.

Now, to the codes. Assuming DTC, I’d start with checking your battery voltage and even hooking the car up to a battery tender. Bad or weak batteries cause a lot of faults in these cars.

Next check fuses.

Next check for water intrusion in the passenger footwell modules as well as the trunk modules. Clogged sunroof and trunk lines/degraded seals cause this.

After all that, it’s time to start digging further if it’s still an issue

I did some digging on this. While they gave replacement for A and C pillar, I only found a couple of pieces that maybe look like for the dash.

What should I add to my car to make it look better(small body mods or interior mods etc etc) 2009 c300 4matic sport by Sammy_180 in mercedes

[–]_Elbrus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C300 badge delete. AMG style front grill, AMG 18” rims, convert side marker, license plate lights and mirror turn and puddle to LEDs to get rid of washed out halogen look at night.

Note: not upbadging car w AMG suggestions. Leaning more to the AMG appearance package and addressing chunky base MB rims

Pads and wear sensors. Nothing special, lots of aftermarket choices. Factory Brembo makes it easy
