So I'm sure I'm not the only one who has started to see the black coating chipping and peeling off the interior switches.. and I'm not about to spend several hundred dollars getting entirely new switch assemblies for the entire cabin.. has anyone figured out how to repair/recoat them?

To do this, you will have to buy the mirror frame assemblies with the courtesy lights, the black plastic trim for the bottom, and possibly the door control modules. I believe you would have to go to the dealer to get the modules programmed.

Where can I get the tutorial for DIY coolant flush?

I've been searching the site but have not found a DIY for the tire valve and TPMS. Anyone have or know of one?

LI Benz

Some background on my situation. Last year I cracked a rim and after buying a new one I saw a mechanic who told me he could not get the old valve and sensor off the old rim to put on the new one. I ended up just going to Mercedes and buying a new valve and sensor and having them put it on the new rim. So I recently cracked another rim and again bought a replacement. I bought a new valve and sensor through a guy my dad knows who works at Mercedes. This morning I couldn't find any DIYs so I went into my garage and took a couple of pictures of the valve and sensor on my cracked rim and figured I'll just do it myself because it looked pretty simple. So I did do it with no problem. My question now is why is it so difficult to remove as opposed to installing it?

Hi!

Still can't find a solution, here is a story (it's all about w204 c-classs 2011 factory equipped with Conamd NTG 4.5 Online, but i'm sure the solution are common for SLK, e-class, c-class):

1. I've just connected my non original but still good cam to my Comand Online NTG 4.5
2. I've powered it from right rear movement light - i took the grount there also; and the anod activating wire was also connected to +12
3. After it i managed to go through the salon to my Comand and connected the video to the jack #6, the right one as showed

4. Then i entered an engineering menu and made my selection as showed

5. And also i checket this - "'External video display' (in the HU parameter menu), 'Front monitor', 'RVC'", it was NTSC so a guess it's all right isn't it? I got an NTSC cam...
6. After reseting system (off, then off the car, lock, stay for 5 minutes) i saw a new point in menu "Rear view camera" and it was already switched on "Activate on R-movement".
7. And, at the and of this all when i first made an reverse gear i saw a blank black screen with "Check for surrondings" and a back button.

What did a do wrong?? Please help ASAP, can't sleep! :-)))

This is not my work and the video belongs to Mr. Scott Elliot. Awesome video tutorial on changing rear brake pads. Took me about 20 min per side. W204 is definitely easier to change than the w203.

It's the bottom left green fakra shown on #6. That image is labeled incorrectly. It should read #6 -rear cam in /AV in

This video walks you thru the process -- Im about to do it this weekend to wrap it in Carbon Fiber, and also fix my command knob.

I have the SRS malfuntion warning popping up in the dash and took it in to the dealer. The code is for Pyro Fuse in front fuse box F32 is shorted and being saved in ECU. It came on when I changed the battery about a month ago and I am wondering if I am able to change the fuse out or if it could be a bigger problem like the dealership is trying to make it out to be. Thank you all

I installed a set of DEPO projector headlights and need to raise the low beam pattern. I found the white plastic screw but it adjusts left to right.

The large metal hex screw on the top of the headlamp is completely turned counterclockwise and the beam pattern is still too low.

Sorry to ask.

I bought this 2011 C250 prefaceflift at 52000 Km 2 months ago, now 54000km.

I know that this car warned me about something not correct, like "release parking brake", or "check tyre pressure". My question is, will this car warn me to change transmission oil and engine oil? and when is the interval for changing transmission oil?

from former owner, I informed that last year he already change the transmission oil, but not remember the mileage.

thanks

as far as i know there is no such warnig for transmission usually changed at 40000 miles as i remember. there is a count down and a warning does come when engine oil needs changing. If u want to find out early when its due then u can get into the service menu to find it

need help with removing my diffuser for a 2012 c250. looks like no bolt screwed on but the tabs are frustrating to take off. any trick to it? I want to just pull and yank it out slowly but afraid I may break the tabs.

RafSabir

best to lie down under the car with your legs facing the rear - then look either side there is a 10mm bolt securing the defusser either end - take a touch with u have a good look
then i just used my thumbs to push each tab up and out - there are 2 awkward ones and there i used a screw driver - take your time and it will come out

M276 Spark Plugs Removal DIY by Kavadarci

I need this DIY also. I would like to assume it is plug and play into the back of the factory head unit then fish the wires to the glove box.

IGB

I think it is even easier than that... If I am not mistaken, there is no need to take out the head unit. Instead, the iPod kit plugs in to the audio plug that is located inside the glove compartment.



If not, then you should have a plug inside the compartment that is located between the passenger door and the glove compartment.



Hope this helps....

My car has that 1/8" aux jack already. The ipod kit enables you to plug in an ipod, iphone ect using multi pin connectors so it can charge and has to be connected into the back of the head unit and some of the fibre optic connections have to be re routed apparently. I just want more info before I buy the kit


The jack in the glove box sounds like garbage which is why I also want the proper kit..
