Is there a TSB or anything for vibrating LED strips in the door panels? I just skimmed the thread and don't see anything. The problem seems to have been reported 100's to maybe 1000+ times online.

LI for Seats

Konig is there an LI for Seats. I found LI91.10-P-053443 on another page said it covers 2007-2013. i get a cracking sound when someone is in the passenger seat. I have the ELW warranty hopefully it is covered under that.

Thanx

mercedes-benz s320 cdi 2008
Hello,

I'm new here on the forum.

I have a s320 from 2008 (w221) and would like to know how do I access the secret menu or engineering mode and watch video while driving?

Not possible unless you have very early production ‘07 model.

The disappointing part of that bulletin is the second page, which does not indicate a fix and I quote:

- Complaint resolved until next required time change!
- Customer does not have any navigation function restrictions! - The date cannot be changed!

It is unfortunately not a fix for the date issue. If one reads the logs of the navigation system, it fills up quickly with "EPOCH time is more than one week off."I feel if they really want to fix this for their customers, they will release a telematics update and fix the defective software.

Thank you for sharing this. It actually happened today on my W221 CEL was on and no error code. Is this update free? Can you check if my vin is on the list of affected vehicles?

Repair should be free, dealer needs to check VMI to see if your VIN is included.

LI35.30-P-058566 SEPT20 – 171,172,203,204,205,207,209,211,212,213,215,216,21 7,218,219,220,221,222,223,230,231,238,253,257, 164,166,167,292,293 single throttle lift-off clunking noise from the side shaft when moving off (audible at the outboard end) noise is heard once in each instance when changing direction of travel. If the complaint is eliminated by experimentally loosening the outboard collar nut (by 1 turn), the problem is due to cracking of the microweld between the wheel bearing inner race and the joint housing of the side shaft. The collar nut must always be replaced after being loosened. Coat contact surface of side shaft with wheel bearing with Molykote paint (MB part # 0009890152).

LI33.30-P-056665 SEPT20 – All Mercedes-Benz cars with front-wheel drive and 4x4 vehicles single throttle lift-off clunking noise from the side shaft when moving off (audible at the outboard end). The clunk is heard once when changing from forward to reverse (and vice versa). If the complaint is eliminated by experimentally loosening the outboard collar nut (by 1 turn), the problem is due to micromovement in the connection between the wheel bearing inner race and the joint housing of the side shaft. The collar nut must always be replaced after being loosened and must be tightened to the specified torque. Coat contact surface of side shaft with wheel bearing with Molykote paint (MB part # 0009890152).





LI27.50-P-049281 SEPT20 – 722.9 transmission when changing gear range from P to D, harsh engagement may be noticeable, engagement sequences for N-D and N-R must be taught in again as follows (always remain in the gear ranges N/R/D for at least 5 sec): start the engine from cold, shift 5 times N-R, shift 5 times N-D -> warm up transmission to 40°C and while doing so, exceed a speed of 30 mph at least once. Shift 5 times N-R, shift 5 times N-D -> warm up transmission to 70°C and while doing so, exceed a speed of 30 mph at least once. Shift 5 times N-R, shift 5 times N-D.
