I done a fair amount of my own servicing on various cars over the
years. I'm not a pro. but have changed cyl heads/clutches etc.  - but
never worked on a Merc. I've seen an oldish A class 140 for sale (year
is 2000) - but are these cars a garage-only beast? Appreciate some

Mercedes is actually several notches behind Chrysler, let alone BMW, GM et
al in wiring its cars for Bluetooth, an impending legal requirement for
hands free cell phone use in cars in states like California. Hence this is
not a minor problem.

The ASR and ABS lights on a C200 estate stay on after ignition.  Cruise
control no longer works.  I am told this is likely to be one of the ABS
detectors/Speed detectors on one of the four wheels.  I would be
grateful for anyone's thoughts on this diagnosis.

I have a 1997 E 320 with approx. 86,000 on the clock that's in great
shape overall. The air conditioning blows cool at best when you're
cruising on the highway, but gets pretty feeble when you get stuck up

I can no longer lock my left rear door.  The mechanism tries about four
times in rapid succession to lock when I press the lock button without
succeeding.  All other doors lock normally.
I'd like to remove the interior door trim panel to see what is going on.

Where would I find the wiring diagram for the speakers? And yes, I do have
the wheel next to the window switches. BTW, what stereo and front and back
speakers did you put in?

I am ready to finalize the deal on a 93 300D. Although the car looks
fine and drives OK, I felt it is a little sluggish at initial pickup.
Turbo does kick in. Car has 127,000 original miles. Also what other
issues must I look out for? Any specific doodads that might be bad as

I am considering to buy a 1998 E320 AWD Mercedes.

Had an intermittent starting problem on my 96 E320.  It would crank but not
start.  I would let it sit and it would eventually start.  Now, it cranks
but doesn't start at all.  Noticed it on Friday, and it didn't start all
weekend, or this morning (Monday).  Since there could be ...

I have a 1995 E300D that has intermittent electrical problems which
seem to be related to my ignition switch.  Usually the problems occur
after the car has been parked in the hot sun. Most common problem is
that the radio looses power, it keeps coming on and off especially at

Well, I finally decided to replace my stock radio (Becker) and speakers. I
went to crutchfield.com and after all my searching I had to call them
direct. I didn't call because I read here once the model radio and what
speakers would fit my 1989 560 SEL. I was informed that the ...

Just had brake work done on my 1999 E320 wagon and the shop couldn't get the
right front wheel off, all the lugs nuts were frozen in place.  In fact, in
his trying to get the wheel off he snapped off one of the studs, leaving
just four now.  He seemed to think there's a Service ...
