And not a moment too soon MB - 2025 E53

Just as the first of the 2025 E53s are rolling off the boat the online build functionality finally shows up on the site. Coincidence?

W210 E55 Transmission

I have strange issue that I can't seem to get diagnosed on a Mercedes w210 E55 (1999) 5 speed auto. All gears work, shift up and down, no surprises. From a standing start, you can floor it and the car will go pretty much instantly, or spin wheels. However, when driving steadily and then accelerating, the engine spins up, a second goes by and then the gear engages. A similar thing happens when you are cruising and really floor it, the car kicks down, a second pause and then boom engage. This wasn't present when I first purchased the car 2 years ago. The car has had a full transmission service, to no changes.

Mercedes Benz Car Play Screen

Hey everyone I'm new here. Just want to clarify before I say anything, I don't own a Mercedes, this is just a question concerning my brother's car.

So, my brother's wedding anniversary is coming up and my sister-in-law wants to surprise him with a wireless Car Play compatible screen because he's been talking about one for a while since his infotainment screen is kind of faulty. She's asked for my help but I'm clueless at the car stuff so I thought it'd be better to come here for some help.

The budget is, £200 or under (I'm not sure if it's enough for a great one but I hope you guys can help finding a good one within that price range) and from Amazon as my SiL wants to get it next day delivered.

I'm not sure about the specifics of his car but I know it's a Mercedes Benz C Class from 2015, I hope that much helps.

I hope you guys can help me find something suitable! Thanks in advance 🙏

2008 Mercedes P2008 fault code

Any help please? I have a 2008 Mercedes E220, I have had an intermittent fault for a while where fault codes P0088 and P0087 come up after 3-4 hours of driving(but they don't come up Everytime), when I plug the scanner in it clears them, yesterday the code P2008 came up and I cannot clear it, the other 2 codes are also there but I am unable to clear anything, any idea of what steps I should take? My thoughts are it's some sort of sensor or control module problem, what are your thoughts?

Please Help: Tires Option?

Hello everyone, I need some advice from some tire experts on here please 🙏🏼

Vehicle: 2019 GLE 400 4Matic (W166)

Current Size: 255/50R19

—————- So I’m planning on upgrading my rims to 20” and I need to make a decision on which tire size and which tire I should upgrade too.

Size Question:

When it comes to the sizes I’m in a standstill and need help, the default size for my car with 20” rims according to multiple sources online is 245/50R20. Now I’ve read that given the sidewall going from 255 to 245 it will have a significant effect on ride quality. That being said I’ve done some research and found 265/50R20 is a more comfortable drive but I’m not so sure if it will actually fit properly without having any issues during turns etc…. Does anyone know if it’ll fit fine? Or should I just stick with the 245/50R20 size and call it a day?

Tire Question:

So my concern is ride quality and noise / ride sound. during dry roads / wet roads mostly. (Florida climate). I’ve come down to the PIRELLI SCORPION AS PLUS 3 as to the reviews and ratings on tiretrack.com but when I’ve done more research on other sites people tend to say it’s not so good due to noise so I’m having mixed opinions here. Multiple reviews say they are great options and some say they make a lot of sound. So I guess my question is do I trust tire racks recommendation and reviews? They have it at 9.2/10 when it comes to drive comfort and noise.

Can anyone kindly give me their experience with these specific ones? Or maybe recommend a better tire to purchase?

Thank you for your time, it’s truly appreciated 🙏🏼

07 c230 mercedes questions

So after many years of mainly gm products got a steal of a deal on a c230, however it comes with quirks, as always. Currently battling a cooling issue however it's excessive cooling. Slow to get up to temp, eventually it'll get up to 80C, however extended drive time will have the car get as low or more than 40. My assumption is a new stat is in order however from the either cryptic or nonexistent info online, it "should" throw a code, correct? I got a few, most being circuit codes, and alt serial interface, 2 O2s, and ESP issues, however nothing for a thermo. Circuit codes are for some lights i haven't had time to deal with. Alt code (along with a series of CAN codes) is likely the regulator which is ordered, O2s are waiting install, and ESP is due to the dumbf**k who owned it replaced the beat up wheel and didn't position it right. My guess the coolant sensor isn't failed completely at least because it will get up to temp at idle, albeit slow. With that, eliminates a cluster issue, because it's a slow drop, ie 20 minutes to completely drop down. Is there any other potentials before I verify actual coolant temp and replace thermo housing?

Are EQB Vehicles Significantly Cheaper To Maintain/Repair Than Other Mercedes?

So I like Mercedes a lot, but got scared off by the high cost of maintenance and repairs. But presumably their EVs are cheaper to maintain/repair as they are inherently simpler vehicles.

Is that true in practice?

Help w windshield replacement?

Our 2020 mercedes GLE350’s Windshield got hit w something that caused the top right of it. Tried to get a mobile auto glass installer to replace (& recalibrate after providing VIN) but when they got here they said this windshield is dealer only. Plan to call dealers to see if its even available, as earlier one said its on back order.

Any tips or suggestions to get this replaced? TIA.
