Note:
Lubricate brake pads on their guide pieces ("hammer heads") with MB Plastilube brake paste, see attachment.
Remark:
- As a rule brake disks do not have to be replaced due to brake squeal. One exception is major score marks or waviness resulting from wear. In, this
case the possibility of brake squeal cannot be fully ruled out.
- Reproduce squealing noise when braking and ensure that the noise is caused by the rear axle.
- If necessary, use the help of an assistant to localize the noise.

Topic number LI82.10-P-050139
Version 1
Design group 82.10 Exterior lights
Date 08-18-2010
Validity All vehicles
Reason for change Remedy revised and the new model series incorporated / Supersedes DTB T-B-82.10/334
Complaint:
Headlamps/front fog lamps leaking or fogged
Cause:
As the headlamp is cooling down, e.g. after switching off, in rain or when washed, air is drawn in and the moisture from the air condenses on the
headlamp lens.
The ventilation of the headlamps ensures that this condensation is dissipated again after a short period of operation.
If the customer complains about fogging that is not present at the time of the workshop visit, then this is condensation. For these reasons,
condensation is a natural phenomenon and does not indicate a defect or malfunction; warranty and goodwill claims with this complaint will be
rejected.
Remedy:
Remedy 1:
A defective headlamp can be identified as follows:
1. Check headlamps for external damage and also check for correct seating/locking of the caps.
2. If the headlamp exhibits external damage:
3. Remove/install/replace headlamp.
4. Check headlamp setting and correct if necessary.
Note:
If there is external damage on the headlamp or if the caps are not correctly seated/locked, there is no grounds for a warranty or goodwill
case.
Remedy 2:
Clearing fogged/condensed headlamps:
1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop and connect the exhaust extractor.
Note:
In dry weather (temperature higher than +15°C/+59°F), you can also treat the vehicle out of doors.
Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test.
2. Start the engine and switch on the following lights:
a. Main headlamps and front fog lamps fogged: High and low beams, front fog lamps, hazard warning system.
b. Only front fog lamps fogged: Front fog lamps.
3. Leave the vehicle in this state for 40 minutes.
4. Switch off all lights and the engine.
5. Check the fogging; a noticeable reduction in the amount of fogging must be visible (progress of defogging process).

Repair and Diagnosis of Airbag Wiring Harness
When a driver airbag, front-passenger airbag, sidebag or windowbag or an emergency tensioning retractor is triggered, the coupling melts from the
gas generator heat and becomes unusable. Up until now, repair on airbag wiring harnesses was not permitted due to safety reasons and had to be
partly or completely replaced depending on type. As always follow most current part numbers and corresponding information in EPC before
ordering.
NOTE:
The part numbers for the solder connector are available in the EPC under the DG (design group) ...\54\019. The "Repairing wiring harness using
solder connectors" document is to be observed.

Lighting - Headlamps/Front Fog Lamps Leaking Or Fogged Headlamps/front fog lamps leaking or fogged

Mercedes-Benz Mercedes Benz OEM Parts Mercedes Benz OE Replacement Parts



Technical Service Bulletin # LI82-10_P-050139 Date: 100818
Lighting - Headlamps/Front Fog Lamps Leaking Or Fogged
Headlamps/front fog lamps leaking or fogged
Topic number LI82.10-P-050139
Version 1
Design group 82.10 Exterior lights
Date 08-18-2010
Validity All vehicles
Reason for change Remedy revised and the new model series incorporated / Supersedes DTB T-B-82.10/334
Complaint:
Headlamps/front fog lamps leaking or fogged
Cause:
As the headlamp is cooling down, e.g. after switching off, in rain or when washed, air is drawn in and the moisture from the air condenses on the
headlamp lens.
The ventilation of the headlamps ensures that this condensation is dissipated again after a short period of operation.
If the customer complains about fogging that is not present at the time of the workshop visit, then this is condensation. For these reasons,
condensation is a natural phenomenon and does not indicate a defect or malfunction; warranty and goodwill claims with this complaint will be
rejected.
2010 Mercedes Benz E 550 Sedan (212.072) V8-5.5L (273.971)   Page 83
Remedy:
Remedy 1:
A defective headlamp can be identified as follows:
1. Check headlamps for external damage and also check for correct seating/locking of the caps.
2. If the headlamp exhibits external damage:
3. Remove/install/replace headlamp.
4. Check headlamp setting and correct if necessary.
Note:
If there is external damage on the headlamp or if the caps are not correctly seated/locked, there is no grounds for a warranty or goodwill
case.
Remedy 2:
Clearing fogged/condensed headlamps:
1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop and connect the exhaust extractor.
Note:
In dry weather (temperature higher than +15°C/+59°F), you can also treat the vehicle out of doors.
Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test.
2. Start the engine and switch on the following lights:
a. Main headlamps and front fog lamps fogged: High and low beams, front fog lamps, hazard warning system.
b. Only front fog lamps fogged: Front fog lamps.
3. Leave the vehicle in this state for 40 minutes.
4. Switch off all lights and the engine.
5. Check the fogging; a noticeable reduction in the amount of fogging must be visible (progress of defogging process).
Note:
If no reduction in the degree of fogging is visible, the headlamp is defective and must be replaced.
It is not physically possible to defog the headlamps completely.
Fogging does not impair the operation or the service life of the headlamp.

Date 03-20-2012
Validity S212, C218
Reason for change
Complaint:
Rear bumper sticks out in area of rear lamp (picture 1)
2010 Mercedes Benz E 550 Sedan (212.072) V8-5.5L (273.971)   Page 76
Attachments
Cause:
Too much play between bracket for bumper and rear lamp (picture 2)
Thermal expansion causes the bumper sticks out in the area of the rear lamp
Attachments
Remedy:
The play between the rear lamp and the bumper must be eliminated. To this end, film is stuck onto the bracket of the bumper:
1. Measure protrusion to rear lamp on specified measuring points for determining the amount of film required
2. Remove bumper
3. Determine amount of film to be glued on:
2010 Mercedes Benz E 550 Sedan (212.072) V8-5.5L (273.971)   Page 77
- S212: Measurement 35 mm from tip of bumper (picture 3)
- C218: Measurement 70 mm from tip of bumper (picture 4)
Amount of film = Protrusion (mm) / 0.3 (mm) --> Film thickness is approx. 0.3 mm
2010 Mercedes Benz E 550 Sedan (212.072) V8-5.5L (273.971)   Page 78
4. Glue chafe protective film onto bracket to eliminate any play between the rear lamp and rib on the bumper. (Figure 5)
Note:
The bonding surfaces must be clean and free of grease
5. Mount bumper again
