    W212 ignition coil and bolts

    Apparently I have a Meyle one in the post from one of my orders. Fingers crossed. Wow, bad 1.8T Audi engine….at least you could probably get them then lol. If my other orders come I’ll keep them in the glove box for a bad day.

    W212 ignition coil and bolts

    Lithuania ordered. Cheapie skipped. Wonder if WAI CUF2143 would work. Had another UK supplier cancel on me for the Bosch one I ordered. Suspecting the USA supplier is going to do the same.

    Are all bolts created equally?

    Thanks for the replies. Maybe sheared was the wrong word. Rounded is more suitable. Think I’m going to have to remove it careful with the E8/hex/multi point socket or grips. While it is out cut a channel across the top then in the absence of another bolt hopefully use a flat head to do it back up.

    Are all bolts created equally?

    Hi, I need at one of these A0029900303 which I believe is an M6 bolt 27mm in length with an E8 for the ignition coils. Foolishly slightly sheered one off a bit. But they’re not available. Is another Mercedes M6 bolt with an E8 head and 27mm or less up to the job in wondering? Anywhere else I’d...

    Mercedes e63 5.5 biturbo coil pack issues

    Lovely looking car. Got a 2014 W212 E63 myself in Palladium Silver. Did you ever get your ignition coil? What did you go with? Mine played up and gave a code on cylinder 7 last week. Swapped with cylinder 5 and the fault followed. Only to be told Merc don’t have any in the UK or Germany. Can’t...

    W212 ignition coil and bolts

    Hi, I recently got a W212 E63 about a month ago and absolutely loving it until it decided one of the ignition coils was going to give up. Originally it was cylinder 7 so I swapped it with 5 and the fault followed. I’m UK based and have been told by Mercedes that both the UK and Germany don’t...

    CLK 280 Alternator Belt W209 M272 fitment

    Hello :-) I recently SORN'd my beloved CLK 280 as we're expecting a new arrival to the family so have also purchased a family friendly car but am wanting to get the Mercedes back on the road as missing it. I noticed when moving the CLK around on the driveway the other day it was making a funny...

    Thanks for the comments :-) I have greased all of the relevant points with some white lithium grease along with when I greased the soft top components. Car felt like it was running silky smooth this morning which is good :-) Will keep that in mind when it comes to the brake fluid, discs and...

    A209 2008 CLK 280 Sport Service Items

    So I finally got around to doing the service yesterday. Oil changed, oil filter and air filters. Used Mobil 1 New Life 0W40 in the end. Looks like it was needed judging by the colour of what came out. Last oil change was just over a year ago about 11k miles ago. Even reset the service...

    Pheasant meets A209 CLK 2008 at 60MPH, bodyshop or bonnet

    You're spot on, I was using 1000, 2000 and 2500, even used a bit of cutting compound but that may have been a bit over the top. I kinda regret not masking a larger area and then just spraying what was needed in the middle if that makes sense to reduce the need for the flattening step. Thanks...

    What cars make you angry?

    Fiat Multipla, Kia Soul. And people driving too close together and too fast when it's so wet the road is like a river.

    A209 2008 CLK 280 Sport Service Items

    Super helpful, thanks very much. I was looking at the Shell Helix as saw that recommended somewhere. Maybe a 0w 40 then as lives outside. I was tempted by one of those pumps as a friend has an SLK we were going to use it on too.

    A209 2008 CLK 280 Sport Service Items

    Thanks for the responses. Stamps aren't important to me, as long as the car has history when buying/selling showing the work that has taken place over it's life that's good enough for me. Have had a look at the manual this morning and still none the wiser of the correct oil, just says as longs...

    A209 2008 CLK 280 Sport Service Items

    Hi all, My car has done just over 10,000 miles since it's last service about 1 year and 3 months ago. The MOT is due in May and I'm wondering whether I should service it or not. It's on 61,000 now. It drives well and regularly gives fuel economy in the late 20's and on a very long steady...

    Pheasant meets A209 CLK 2008 at 60MPH, bodyshop or bonnet

    Time for photo overload of the "finished" article! It's not perfect but not bad for a few hours and the cost of a can of spray paint. Already had primer and wet and dry from another job. Very pleased with the colour match of the can to the car. It was Holts Paint Match Pro HBLKM04 for around...

    Pheasant meets A209 CLK 2008 at 60MPH, bodyshop or bonnet

    That's not good about the pigeon fuzed, I crunched one once in a Mondeo. Also hit one with my MG TF and had the roof off at the time. It hit the bonnet, rolled up the windscreen and over the back. Thankfully it didn't land in the car with me which I was more concerned about than any damage...
