    The dealer should be made aware that the vehicle has not been repaired, and in fact it is now worse after they repaired the vehicle and that you are not satisfied with the work that was performed on your vehicle, and they should have test-driven the vehicle to make sure that the repairs were done correctly and that the vehicle was properly repaired. That is a safety issue and I do not know where you are but usually if a technician working at a dealer aligned your vehicle, and then the customer came back with the same problem but even worse after it was supposedly just aligned, then that so-called technician would most likely find themselves un-employed or at least seriously re-evaluated and their expertise in question. There might be a damaged or worn out steering or suspension component, or a tire on your vehicle might be damaged or is not equal in size or air pressure to the other tires and is causing the pull to the left, (the air pressure in all of the tires must also be equal for the vehicle to steer correctly, especially the front tires) but that should have also been disclosed to you before any alignment work or repairs were rendered on your vehicle, (because the vehicle can not really be aligned if there are any existing problems with any of the steering and/or the front or rear suspension components) and I do not know any place that would actually perform an alignment on a vehicle that had anything wrong with any of the steering and suspension components or faulty tires. Mercedes has never really had a good reputation for dealing with their customers and I would talk to the manager of the dealership if necessary to try and resolove the issue.

Well, I agree, MB should have been able to resolve the issue. Next items to check are all tire pressures and then the brakes. Typically the tech will want to drive your car before and after an alignment, so this is strange...

I could not start my merc e320 yesterday i tried a few times and my bat died so i charged it and still would not work. i bought a new bat but exactley the same it just turns over as if the bat is dead

Hi,
The problem would be the starter assembly, the internal parts( carbon brush, solenoid switch, and contactor cap ) might have worn out.
Better bring the car in the nearest garage to check out the starter problem.
Hope that helps you out!

How to open the hood

Lever is under the dash, flat to the panel and pulls down to release catches. At the front a plastic "tongue" sticks out from grille, pull on this and lift bonnet up. Note as all Mercs you can put hinges in second position so that bonnet is vertical for maintenance, engine removal etc.

Mereceds repair prices

hi, merc dealers tend to rip you off for labour charges, if you are not mechanicly minded find a local shop who can multi task, best thing is ask around recommendation is best, if you can do a diy job then get yourself a manual for the car, i have a E300 TD and there is not many things i can't do myself, hope this is of help to you, good luck

Sprinter gear selector

This is the gear linkages. It is a cable operated system to allow the gear lever to be dash mounted.

They are a common fault. The parts are about £65 from Mercedes (dealer only part) and unless you know what you are doing you can expect about 2 - 3 hours labour charge, though there are no special tools involved.

They average about 60,000 miles, though the replacements tend to be better.

Turning off brake pad warning light after changing pads on S320 merc.

Hi,
If the light came on before you changed pads, you will need to replace the sensor.
The sensor consists of only a wire link embedded in a hard plastic. This is worn through when the pads are nearly worn out.

To check which sensor it is, it's easier to unplug the sensor, and check with a continuity checker. If there is no continuity, you need to replace it.

Thanks for using Fixya! If this solves the problem, please rate as such. Thank you.
