cap

as the title. thing does not lock (cannot hear it trying to do anything either). Pressing the red button down inside the load area makes it work (but this is stiff). The yellow pipe is connected. where should I be looking? Is it vaccum operated or electronic. Sorry if posted in wrong...

Hi All, My wife recently left he fuel filler cap for my W202 at a filling station. To save me schlepping down to a dealer is there a way I can order one on line? Thanks

Hi all Dont know whether or not this is in the right place or not, but my fuel cap isnt locking when I lock my car.. Only drawn to this because a rumor going around that a couple of lads have been going around a night stealing fuel from tanks. With the car locked I am able to open up the...

While I had the W201, had to clean the distributor cap and rotor. With the W202 it got electronic, do I do away maintaining this part???:confused:

Hi I understand there is a tool for this thats basically a large socket. Does anyone have a part number or a generic equivalent and where I can buy it? Due to the sensitive (read crumbling) wiring bits nearby I dont want to use a chain to loosen it. and believe me - it is not coming undone...

I have managed to clock up the best part of 500miles today with a trip Up't north to sell off my brothers Ex MOD LandRover Carawagon. When I returned tonight to top up the oil, I noticed that around the Water/Radiator cap white stains have appeared? The average outside temp was around 31...

I have had one of the chrome tyre dust caps stolen from my tyre. They are the ones found on the W203 sport pack and most cars with the AMG wheels, small with a small nipple on the end. Does anyone know the part number for these little devils. There are many on this website...

I'm typing this for Rob who is on the M6 just now. Went to ASDA and filled up and left the fuel cap on top of the pump and drove away. I'm hoping I'll be able to pick it up on monday but if no one hands it in I've lost it. Anyone have any ideas what to use as a temporary cover till monday or...

Whilst giving my beloved ML some TLC (previous owner a bit tardy) I noticed the cap for the electrical point in the boot is missing - looks like a cigarette lighter :confused: . Looking for a replacement - any ideas?

I know this sounds silly, but I have looked in my haynes manual but cant actually find any pictures ( decipherable at least) to illustarte where in my engine bay I can find my Throttle body and Distributer cap. I even bought one of those service manual CD's off Ebay, but that didnt really help...

hey everyone hows it going ? wasnt on here for a while due to family probs ok the issue is that i went to put petrol in yesterday but couldnt because the petrol cap / flap doesnt want to open as the central locking doesnt work at all now and nor does the locking button on the central...

I have just bought a 2001-SLK 320 with Manual Gearbox and while routinely checking levels, I noticed a filler cap set behind the radiator slightly right of centre down a bit next to a black plastic cylinder thing with grips like the end of an oil filter. There are no marks on it, but when I...

I noticed today that the red tab ( It says on it "Mr Workshop Only" ) has broken away from the black cap. Can it cause any damage?Do I need to replace the whole cap or can I just purchase the tab? BTW, now this tab is off,how do I remove the cap altogether as I want to check the fluid level...

I pressume theres something wrong with the neck of the filler pipe. Every time I buy a new fuel filler cap It fits fine but then it wont remove unless a lot of force is used and then the cap is damaged.

When I picked up the replacement mirror indicator from the parts dept last week (as detailed in a previous post), the chap serving me said "anything else Sir". Off the top of my head, I mentioned that my fuel cap was detached from it's fixing, so he came out with me and had a look. It's been...

One of the shields (the right hand one) is obviously Essex and it dates from 1932 but that's as much as we know Any ideas/suggestions as to it's origin welcome Andy

Well, I got up nice bright and early today, went out and discovered that my "chain-type" oil filter wrench doesn't grip the cap. At all. (The setting on the chain is an "in-between gaps" and there is no space to move the wrench either way. Hence, I need to get the cap type, the one that looks...

does anyone know a good place to get a MB centre cap (horn button) for after market steering wheels, ie the ones without airbags;)

Does any one no the numbered positions of the bearing caps(the numbers are on the top of the caps) that hold down the camshafts on a 2.3 16v 190e as i have had them of for a while and dont no what order the go back on at :confused:

I thought everyone knew but was reminded by two friends that it is not universal knowledge. The petrol cap on that strange car you are driving is on the side shown by the arrow next to the petrol pump on your fuel gauge.
