Re: Water Infiltration in the Trunk of My W211 E-Class!

Indeed, the rubber contracts and fails to create a secure seal. Frequently, leaks occur under the seal bead at the lower section where it curves; this happens when it is tugged by an external force or when it is extracted while pursuing a leak, resulting in an exacerbated issue. The new seal will in...

Re: Water Infiltration in the Trunk of My W211 E-Class!

I had similar issue with my W211 sedan as well.
I removed the rear lights and applied black RTV sealer to the deteriorating foam seals prior to their reinstallation.
I further modified the drainage canals.

Re: Replacement of 12V battery

In my opinion, a five-year warranty has more significance than the capacity.You will never incur the expense for another one.

Re: DISPLAY INACTIVE

My device malfunctioned again today. It functioned OK when I reversed it out of the garage, but around 30 minutes later, as I prepared to go for a little journey, it malfunctioned. I refrained from intervening to observe its behaviour, and after a while, it exhibited a spinning circle for almost 20 ...

Re: DISPLAY INACTIVE

I concur with your assessment; it seems there is no method to deactivate the screen using the volume button. This morning, my device functioned correctly, therefore I will consider the previous issue an oddity until it recurs.

Re: DISPLAY INACTIVE

I am uncertain whether we are discussing the same problem; but, when I activated my device today, the screen remained black until I used the volume button to illuminate it. It did not perform that function during the subsequent return journey. I believed I had deactivated it on my previous usage of ...

Re: Depleted Battery Alert

This began yesterday with my HEV GTLine S. The problem occurred on Sunday after the deactivation of Daylight Savings Time on the Head Unit. I saw promptly that the vehicle no longer deactivates the USB port after 5 minutes. Have any of the other owners received a sufficient response that I might wan...

Re: Three recommendations before to purchase.

Prices fluctuate significantly, ranging from around £1000 to £2500.

Re: Three recommendations before to purchase.

All are impacted to some degree. Previously, N47 engines were prone to failure; however, after 2011, upgrades were implemented that enhanced their durability. The typical lifespan of the later N47 models seems to be about 120,000 miles. The B47 engine is far more durable; nonetheless, it is not enti...
