Hi Jasper,
I live in the north close to Manchester I woud'nt waste my my time trying the only time I go to Dealer is when I'm desperate! Going to give her a good wash tomorrow and change the outside temperature sensor it reads minus 38c hopefully we never see weather like this.
PS I got married in London have a great weekend!

Love your tweet good luck. Carl Benz invented the automobile arguably by Henry Ford as you said or another fellow owner this is unacceptable. If I would have knonwn this at time I bought the car may be I would not purchased it anyway it's a lovely ride rusty or not. My dad always kept his cars in the garage to avoid this trouble but with w210 this does'nt matter!

400E widebody
the w210 is known for rust, over here many of theme where having serius rust problems only few years old, and mercedes repaired them under warranty,
10 years ago i had a 99 E240 with something like 40k on the clock, it had rust holes under the doors and in more places, mercedes changed every single body part under warranty.
i actually worked at a dealership for mercedes at that time, and they where doing this to dozents of car

Hi Thule,
What part of the world are you from? I'll try Mercedes UK but I'm not optimistic about it. Same subject yesterday I changed out side temperature sensor piece of cake works a treat. Then the nightmare began had issues with moisture in headlights or lamps if your in UK needed to refit clips on back right side that's driver side over here got unit out and I could not believe it more bleeping rust over wheel arch under coolant reservoir poked around rotted through had to move wires hoses etc applied antitrust again wire brushed scraped primed and tetrasealed all infected area pop divided new aluminium plate pain stakedly in the cold and night put all back together Easter said then done! Getting sick of this **** this model is a rust bucket but I'm going to carry on once I pay my mortgage I'll think of replacing the thing is just put new alloy wheels on the old original Mercedes are f___ed if any body in the world needs wheels that need a bit tlc they are still in my greenhouse ie need reenamling keep smiling.

All joking aside my car actually has very little rust and I live right on the ocean. I can feel a little under the rear wheel wells and a drop behind the fuel filler. Other than that it looks quite good. Japanese cars I've owned have done much worse. The common rust areas that concern me are the lower control arms, top strut mounts and the transmission mount. Those can be really dangerous if the fail at a bad time.
