Yes the parking brake uses a small set of brake shoes that act on a drum built into the rear rotor. There is no wear sensors on the parking brakes. There are however wear sensors on the front and rear brake pads. If your brake pad warnig light is on I would have the service brake pads inspected.

Check system for codes;

Displaying & Reading Trouble Codes (DTC Memory)
Air Conditioning (A/C) 

Models 208 as of MY 1998

Diagnostic trouble Code Memory [15] 

Note: 

• The A/C pushbutton control module (N22) has DTC memory and data output. The diagnostic trouble codes and data are displayed via the temperature display window. The stored DTC's will remain in memory even with the vehicle battery disconnected.
• The DTC memory differentiates between current and intermittent faults.
• Numerous DTC's can also be read with the Hand-Held Tester (HHT).

Preparations for DTC Readout 

1. Review 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 31, 31, 41
2. Ignition: ON
3. Temperature selector: left: "HI"; right: "LO"
4. Ignition: OFF
5. Ignition: ON
6. Within 20 seconds press REST and EC simultaneously for more than 5 seconds.
7. The LED in Recirculated Air flashes and the display shows "d1A".
8. Press AUTO repeatedly until all DTC's are displayed. Record each DTC as it is displayed.
9. Each fault (short circuit, open circuit) is assigned a DTC. Thus in the left display: "E1" appears, and the right display indicates the DTC. The current faults (refer to table) are displayed first, next, the intermittant failures (e.g. 45 °5) are displayed in the display window next to the FAN symbol. By pressing the right AUTO the next DTC is displayed.
10. To erase: Can only be performed after all faults have been readout. Press left AUTO and right AUTO buttons simultaneously for more than 2 seconds and the display shows: left: "d" and right: "FF". To cancel erase: By pressing the left AUTO button, the current faults will appear again.
11. Select a base temperature setting.
12. Turn ignition OFF, to end test.

Note: Due to instrument cluster (IC) series interface, DTC's may be stored in IC memory, therefore readout and erase DTC's from IC memory.

Sounds like the wiper control relay is going bad. I think it is mounted in the fuse box under the hood or just behind it.

Look at the new one real close and you will see the locking device that has to be pulled down and turned. It is locked in place so the ormanent will fit through the hole. Just remove whats left of the old one. Push new one through the hole and hold in in place from the top while turning locking piece under hood  with pliers 1/4 turn. The locking piece is spring loaded so you will have to pull down and turn. That's it.

that warning is telling you the brake pads are approaching replacement time. have them inpected and will probably need service. i dont think you will lose your brakes, but have checked asap

hello....

the wiper does not work the flash light does not work and the radio as well does not work ,plus the air bag light is on and the abs light on as well. any idea what could be?
thanks

Hi,

From all indications, most of your devices are controlled by a common module. This would be similar to the engine management computer but has the responsibility for all those mentioned and then some. if you would notice, most if not all are non essential to the engine's performance. Initial suspect would be such a module and/or the sensors, connectors to it. Being such as multi input and multi output, it is perhaps to your advantage to seek the services of a qualified professional. If you are considering a DIY (do-it-yourself), then access to a full service manual would make things doable if not easier.

Often this control module would be under the dash or on any of the kick panels.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

The proper oil for any car, depend of the mileage, temperature conditions , altitude condition.
temperature below 40 Farenheit. recomeded oil is 0w20.
Some manufactures recomended use 5w20 in all conditions. and miles.
More than 40 f. 5w30 to 20w50,
If you car is in 0 miles to 30,000 miles 5w30
30k to 50k 10w30
50k to 90k 10w40
90k and up 20w50

This is just a recomended reference or table.
always consult with your owners manual.
Or manufacters spec.

Check for power with a test light(not a dvom) at the tail lamp assembly. Test right at the spot where the bulb socket sits. If you have power then i would check the connection tab on the bulb socket itself for pits or corroded tabs. If you do not have power present at test point then double check the fuse chart and see if it says 'electronic' instead of having a fuse amp rating for the tail lamps. If it says electronic for any of the light circuits then it means their is no external fuse that can be replaced and the problem is most likely internal of the headlight switch. Since the headlight switch is actually a power source for the lights. I would start there at this point. Let me know what you find and if you need anything else just let me know

It is an intake manifold valve that regulates intake airflow that is not working. Here is a forum that will help you. https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211/601604-p2006-intake-manifold.html

you cannot disable the immobiliser. it is a system mercedes has put into to prevent theft. however, you can bypass the immobiliser (otherwise known as EIS, Electronic Ignition Switch) in order to switch ON the car, but you wont be able to start it. what you need to do it remove the connector from the back of the EIS module and bridge terminals 15r and terminal 30. i recommend getting a wiring diagram specific to your car to be sure of the terminals. however, do this at your own risk.

You will need access to an OBD II Code reader,this will determine what engine sensors are faulty by providing you with a fault code,once you have the code and determine what sensor is at fault you can them replace the sensor and using the OBD clear the fault code/s
