#924 of 1094 Economy setting for air by wbreaux1 Feb 22, 2007 (7:05 pm)
I have a 2000 E320 with 141,000 miles. Recently any time the air is on, the EC (Economy) light is on and cannot be turned off. The air conditioning will not run in this mode. It will be getting hot soon and this must be fixed. Any ideas on what to do about this? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 23, 2007 8:43 am) microrepair (Mar 12, 2007 12:55 pm)

Replying to: wbreaux1 (Feb 22, 2007 7:05 pm) Hmmm....I wonder if you are low on refrigerant...the system will not allow the compressor to engage if the refrigerant level is too low...this would in turn, disengage the compressor and give you the EC light (I think). If your AC hasn't been serviced for a few years, this may be time for testing. I'd certainly check that out before digging into any electronic controls on the dashboard.
#926 of 1094 How to replace headlight bulb? by mynextcar Mar 01, 2007 (11:26 am)
Has anyone replace the light bulb on 2002 E320 headlight? (It's the light with smaller circle) One of them is out and I would like to know how I can replace myself. Thanks in advance! Replies to this message: greasykid1 (Mar 02, 2007 6:24 pm)

Replying to: mynextcar (Mar 01, 2007 11:26 am) Should be in you inst. book. If not unscrew the large black cap behind the bulb and turn the lamp socket and remove.

Replying to: wbreaux1 (Feb 22, 2007 7:05 pm) I had almost exactly that problem last Feb. as I was heading south into the Carolinas and facing some pretty warm temperatures. I stopped at a MB dealer in Charlotte and the problem was in fact, low refrigerant. It was a Friday noontime and they were too busy to fix the leak but they did recharge it and it worked just fine for a few months until I had my mechanic back home check it out. Turns out it was one of the hoses and since it was under Starmark I took it back to my dealer and it cost me nothing. (except for the $140 in Charlotte..!!!!)
#930 of 1094 2001 E430: Replacing fog light bulb by jodar96 Mar 12, 2007 (2:49 pm)
There is nothing in the owners manual about how to replace the front fog light bulbs. My guess is that I have to drive the car on ramps, remove both underbody plastic panels, and reach the back of the fog light assembly.   Is this correct or the inner fender plastic piece removal will give me access to the bulbs?   Thanks, Joe
#931 of 1094 Speaking of bulbs.... by microrepair Mar 26, 2007 (1:48 pm)
One of the front side marker bulbs has burned out on my 2001 E320. The manual says very simply to just reach inside the fender and press on the tab to release the lamp assy and pull it away from the car and change bulbs.. Right ! OK, so how do I press some tab that isn't there, or maybe I just can't find it.. Any hints on how this works??   All I can see/feel is a triangular indented hole in the fender inner liner and one finger can make it through that hole and all I feel inside the hole is just some molded plastic ribs. Should there be a tab right inside the hole or sticking through the hole or what?
#932 of 1094 2001 E-320 brakes by steve3226 Mar 26, 2007 (5:48 pm)
My mechanic says he always has to replace the front rotors on E-320s but not on other makes. Why is this. My wife Lexus RX brake replacement was much cheaper than on the E-320. Why isn't there a warning light to tell when the brakes are worn to the extent of pad replacement?   For 6 years I've enjoyed driving the E-320 and had relatively few problems, however, my wife's RX has had zero problems in the 3 years we've had it. After reading the posts here, I think I'll go for a Lexus ES or GS next time even though I prefer the E-320. Reliability/quality build trumps a slight advantage in handling.
