Hardwire Radar Detector:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-c...-detector.html P.S. is there any way I can be allowed to edit the original post so that all of the DIY are contained within the first post? |
jct - for now just post them & I will do a clean up later under your primary post. The forum blocks members edit rights after a specified number of hours. I will raise this issue in the Mod Cafe & see if there is any way to remedy.

Indeed! - there are some things the software simply can't do as a one size fits all. Look how poor the text editor is!!!. I will do whatever I can. I format things outside the forum and post them as tables, jpegs or whatever. Johnand and I are battling with the clunky Wiki software at present - but getting there!

Looking forward to the exterior lighting DIY! Just got my AZN leds and waiting on Diamond Visions to come in any day..thanks man!

@ jctevere
I'm going to get a C250 Coupe pretty soon; I love this car, but in a year I will have to go overseas (Europe) for 3 years tour and I was thinking to ship the car there. The problem is that in order to register the car in Germany the rear blinkers must be amber, not red. My question is: is there any way to replace the original red LED blinkers to amber/orange? I guess if that is not possible I will have to change the whole rear lamps; In this case, do you know how to get those EU rear lamps and have them installed? |

...You won't have the same issues with wiring, since it is a direct plug and play with our vehicle (I am 99.9% sure, but don't hold me to it if I'm wrong). But you can use their sources for obtaining the EURO parts.

Hardwire Radar Detector:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-c...-detector.html I did this install this weekend. 10 min from start to finish. It would have been quicker but I did not know for sure where I wanted to locate the detector. If you pull down on the roof liner at the top of the glass you can tuck the cable end in there when you are not using the detector. http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3470/4photo.th.jpg http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/3085/3photo.th.jpg http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/3655/2photoa.th.jpg http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/1654/photokyp.th.jpg |

DIY HID kit installation:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-c...d-install.html As far as a DIY oil change, I am not sure on the C250, only did it on my C300. Unfortunately, (or rather fortunately) I don't have to perform my own service on my C250 as I got the prepaid maintenance package this time around. |

Also if you havent bought yet you might want to wait. We get a minimum 10% discount on MB (12% for second car), BMW, Mini, Ford, Audi, and I think Porsche offers a slight discount as well. I got the C350 sport package with hk upgrade, parking, lighting package, and keyless go for under US$42k. The cool part is you can go to the factory in Sindelfingen (Just outside of Stuttgart) and get the royal treatment, have a factory tour and then have a concierge "introduce you" to your new car. It was pretty cool. |
DIY Spark plug change
Here is my DIY for a spark plug change. I will also be making an airfilter, oilfilter and oil change. |
Anyone have anything for a DIY grill removal/exchange on the 2012+ coupes? I've seen a few for the older W204 sedan models but nothing for our car.
|
It's the same for the newer model. Just push in the bottom all the way along the bumper toward the radiator. Then you should be able to pull it out with pulling it upward and away from the radiator while holding the top.

Thank you! :)

Is there a DIY oil change for a C350?
Thanks in advance! |
Is that any DIY engine oil change for 2012 c350 coupe ? Is the brake fluid change a must do item on the 2 year maintenance ? Will it affect the warranty if I don't do it ?

Grill Removal/Replacement
Here are some pictures of my grill replacement. Included some helpful comments in the pictures. The video posted for grill removal earlier in this thread makes it look way too easy.:wall: It's not a hard removal/install as long as you know where the tabs are and which direction they should be pushed/pulled.

M276/M278 Direct Injection Service Guide
Hey guys,poking around online for documentation I came across a great guide to have for reference. It's basically the Mercedes M 276 and M278 Direct Injection engine service manual should come in handy for reference and troubleshooting.
