Yes, although now that I think of it, it's not everyday...

 

I've got the same issue with my 2010 W212. Every few days in reverse.

LI88.60-P-049559 APR12 – 212 fuel filler flap deformed, opens/closes poorly. (1) Paintwork does not cover entire area of attachment point between rear of fuel filler flap and filler flap arm, substrate absorbs moisture at this point. (2) The retaining strap can become twisted from opening the tank filler cap this can cause the retaining strap to wedge behind the hinge arm obstructing closing sequence. The height of the stop buffer located on the left of the tank recess can impair the opening and closing behavior of the fuel filler flap. Remedies: cut off stop buffer on the left of the tank recess as this will help to improve the opening and closing behavior, replace filler flap.

LI88.70-P-056690 OCT13 – 212 (code(803) outside mirrors can fog up at outside temperatures below 15 degrees C (60F) up to production 1/2013 heated mirrors are actuated only 10 minutes after engine start, code front door control units so mirrors are actuated continuously.

I just bought a CPO 2011 E350 4Matic Sport. I noticed today when sitting idle, the AC/Heat blower fluctuates in speed when set at a level 3 or higher. You don't notice it with the radio on and it is hard to notice while driving with the radio off. But sitting at a light or in park....it blows harder, then softer, etc. I did a Google search and came across a website called eautorepair.com (mitchell's). It shows a TSB that may be my issue, but want you to pay a subscription to see it. So a couple questions:

** Is a site like that worthwhile to pay to use to get access/alerts on TSB's for my MB/

** Does anyone have details of the following TSB: LI83.30-P-056980 · BLOWER OUTPUT OF AIR CONDITIONING FLUCTUATES, LOSES POWER OR STOPS OCCASIONALLY

Thanks in advance!

 

You have a CPO warranty---USE IT1

 

cool. thanks much for posting these. this one's not really that bad, but good to know they'll fix the squeak.

 

Any TSB out there for front seat clicking noise

 

LI88.70-P-056690 OCT13 – 212 (code(803) outside mirrors can fog up at outside temperatures below 15 degrees C (60F) up to production 1/2013 heated mirrors are actuated only 10 minutes after engine start, code front door control units so mirrors are actuated continuously.
I thought the "heated" mirrors were only active when the rear window defogger is activated and it is on a timer.
Haven't experienced this problem on my 2010 even at temps as low as 30 degrees F.
Thanks.

 

Bulletin applies to MY13 (803). Temperatures below 15°C (60°F) the heated outside mirrors are actuated continuously and they can always be activated by turning on the rear defrost.

 

LI46.15-P-058505 FEB14 – 166, 172, 197, 204, 207, 212, 218 creaking noise when adjusting electrical steering column, lubricate thrust piece of steering column.

 

My car is a E250 2012 coupe Avantegarde and starting to experience power loss in all sectors and this issue consistently and at deLer at least 20 times since I bought the car, frustrating but trying to deal with issue. Is it better to get in touch with Daimler, Germany instead is my question ?

 

My steering wheel is making grinding noises when car has been increasingly used over a period of a day, is this solution enough to do away with problem ?

 

I want to be 100% sure that these two issues are affecting my Benz and then bring up the issue to my dealer. In a third world country it is not easy to do these things so how do I confirm that these issues are in fact a reality ?

 

I had this issue on my first 2014 E550 and they replaced the entire steering column and the steering gear, and the problem went away. I had the grinding all the time though.

 

You think the 7G on my 2012 E250 Coupe is of same build and issues oriented ? How can I be certain ?

 

LI63.30-P-058687 MAR14 – 207 production date as of 9/09 up to 10/10 sloshing noises from area left & right rocker panels / longitudinal members drain water, preserve with cavity wax, and replace grommets.

Service Campaign 2014030001 APR14 – MY13-14 212 hybrid transmission control module software does not correspond to current production configuration, update software. Approximately 342 vehicles affected.

LI72.20-P-054311 APR14 - 212.2 up to VIN 670422 liftgate reaches upper end position, single noise coupled with jerky movement in the left hinge area perform variant coding and normalization of liftgate control unit.

 

Glad I started lurking on the W212 page! This stuff is great. Looks like it covers my car too (2013 C250 with M271 Evo and 7G Plus). Glad to see I don't have any issues to deal with.

Do you think other auto manufacturers have this many bulletins and recalls? Or do they have just as many problems but don't report at the dealer level?

 

For those of you who had this issue, how much did the rear bumper stick out at this point? There is small gap between the bumper cover and the body panel, but it does not protrude out from the side of the car. My car is pre Jan 11 but my service history does not show this repair. While the additional latch may not be there, perhaps it is not a problem for all.

It's like you took a photo of my engine compartment. I have this deformation. Since I am out of warranty, should I bother fixing this myself or just leave it? Is lack of soundproofing performance the only downside?

While I can feel a slight bump in the front part of the seat, my datacard (thanks again) does not show option 873 even though the car has seat heaters and my vin is below A703331. Perhaps this is specific to a later model year or separate heat seater option.

 

"It's like you took a photo of my engine compartment. I have this deformation. Since I am out of warranty, should I bother fixing this myself or just leave it? Is lack of soundproofing performance the only downside?"


Wow, Same here! I would like to get this fixed. It's an eye sore to me, but obviously only me.

 

What pictures are you referring to?

If it were me I would request goodwill replacement. Bulletin documents inferior seal installed at production allows for water ingress causing soundproofing to deform, MB requires modified seal to correct – one can either discuss this with service manager or have CAC (800-367-6372) open a case for review.

Does anyone have access to tsb for this one? Even though my ecu is stil tuned, the added power is lost after this service. I need to know what exactly was done. Thanks
