I drive a 2004 Mercedes Benz E200K W211 Atuomatic Elegance. Nice car (everyone knows), but not without problems. Let me list them here:
- (Sometimes) the remote central locking does not lock the driver side door (worn out spring?). [Updt 30/Nov/2012]Ordered the 'lock repair kit' from eBay. [Updt: 29/Dec/2012] Repair kit solution installed today, and now the car is fault-free!
- While driving, there is an absolutely tiny little squeak that comes from the rear passenger overhead lights
- Oh, and one of the gaskets on the engine has to be replaced. I sensed the problem before it did major damage. There was loss of power when you try to speed up after slowing down. Also, you could hear some knocking sounds at sub 1000 rpm. [Updt: 11/Oct/2012]: The garage informed me that it was a problem of faulty workmanship by the previous garage (who forgot to put in a gasket!). Now I have observable increase of power :)
- A major repair at 159,000 Kms: replaced timing chain and tensioners. (Oil and oil filter changed while at it).
- The Air Flow Meter (Sensor) needed cleaning/replacement. Ordered 2nd hand which works perfectly :)
- [Updt: 07/Mar/2013] Front coil spring on the driver-side (right) broke. Could have been dangerous if it had happened all of a sudden in traffic.
- [Updt: 07/Oct/2013] The in-tank fuel pump failed.
