The wiper problem seems to be common among Merc! Happens to my W204 too.

I read about this thread on wiper here and seems like alot facing the same problem.

I am interested to buy, care to share the details of your car.

[Guest klooless]

Anyone knows how to completely turn off the 'intelligent' fog lights that selectively comes on, depending on whether the car is turning left or right?

[Guest jonny7733]

I dun think is possible.... Good question!

I also just found that our remote is when we

Press and hold the open button, the window will wind down!

[Guest klooless]

You can also achieve the same effect without using the remote...when opening the door, on the handle, just hold down the lock button for about 3 secs, then pull on the handle.

[Guest Rolnah]

Ya, W204 has the same function of remote winding down of windows.

Btw, didn't know there is such function of intelligent fog-lights coming on automatically when turning left or right!!! But this function only works when we put to auto mode for the lights rite? HOw to deactivate it huh??

Has any of you here install the hockey DRL from Sonic Racing?

[Guest klooless]

My intelligent fog lights are active both in auto and manual low beam mode.

Actually, it's quite useful from the safety point of view, but am getting kind of tired of people telling me that one of my fog lights is blown when I turn into a driveway.

[Guest Rolnah]

I really did not notice that foglights turn on when we make a turn. Really no way to deactivate it?

[Guest st8800]

Sadly I have the same wiper problem... even after changing to a pair of brand wipers from C & C.

[Guest jonny7733]
