Premium package or not?
So, I was looking over my VIN data card and nothing on there shows I have a Premium package, however my car seems to have all of the stuff that goes along with them.
2013 Mercedes Benz E class Premium 1 Package (P01 Package):
2013 Mercedes Benz E class Premium 2 Package (P02 Package):
So the only thing that I don't seem to have are the "headlamp washing system". There are a few things I'm uncertain about, only because I haven't looked. So what gives? I should see "P01" and/or "P02" on the VIN decoder, no? |

If you have the B-Xenons, then you have the washer system. 2013 was the last year.

i looked at my data card and I don’t see anything referencing which package I have either. It lists everything individually. Chances are you have the P1 package. Do you have the 350 or 550? Also, do you have the electronic trunk closer (you would see the two red buttons on the trunk lid) and keyless go?

The washer doors are built into the bumper just below the headlicht. They work automatically behind the scene.

The MB washers are (were) like no other. The Alien proboscis comes shooting out and sprays washer fluid in every direction possible. They should have called them "Headlicht and bumper/hood washer.

E550. Yes to the trunk closer and the keyless go. So I guess I have both? I just expected to see "P02" there or something. No worries then.

I was able to get my local Mercedes dealer to print out the specs for my VIN. This included the package names.

They're super cool but unless your car is very clean it makes it look like it's been crying. I have a W211 with them and they only come on at the push of a button, having them automatically come on every X number of window washes (like the later W211 and W212) is a bad idea IMO. I only use them occasionally to surprise passengers.

Based on this wonderful thread, I checked my VIN and compare to the 2012 brochure, and it seems I have the P1 and P2 plus a few other options..
However, I also have the "headlicht" washers, but I cannot remember that I have ever seen them working. I know on my W126, the washer/wipers on the headlights works when you use the washer for the windshield and the headlights are on, but those you definitely notice! |

I believe there's a youtube video for the W211 with the headlamp washers on, but I don't remember finding one for the W212 a while ago. I suppose you could make one and put it online.
Based on that video, you will know when it happens! |
W212 was an improvement over the W211 design. All I can say is I'm glad they are history and thank G for LEDs.
