Re: Optimal parking sensor alternatives for the W169?

I am uncertain if your vehicle is equipped with a Comand system that supports an integrated reverse camera. I just had a reversing camera and front parking sensors installed on my S204 by comand.co.uk, and I often regret not having them install rear sensors concurrently. In contrast, my SLK is equip...

Re: Could you assist me in identifying this sound - brief video

As already said.

Agreement with the aforementioned statement.
If operating a vehicle, apply the brake gently with the left foot.

Re: Issue with the wing mirror cover of the W203 2006 C180 Kompressor

I brought it to a local independent shop today and was unable to secure it completely, suggesting I encountered the same issue; the aftermarket strip is not entirely compatible. We ultimately removed the clip on the plug that secures it in position, allowing us to connect it and position the cover s...

Issue with the wing mirror cover of the W203 2006 C180 Kompressor

My cherished W203 C180 has faced scrutiny from the MOT authorities this year, requiring rear pads and discs (along with a calliper), rear shocks and springs, rear droplinks, and front droplinks and lower suspension arm. The driver's side mirror indicators have malfunctioned, since just one bulb is o...

Re: The battery is at 2.26 volts.

It is quite improbable that a Yuasa battery has malfunctioned within such a brief period.

Re: The battery is at 2.26 volts.

What was the make of the battery installed in it? I would consider charging it and inspecting the car while it is operational; frequently, when I have observed a healthy battery deplete rapidly without usage, it has been attributed to a short circuit, and if that is the case, one would not want to j...
