drain

The area around the wipers on my car was holding water and the drain hole near the passenger side door on the wiper panel was well blocked. I used a wire coathanger and bent the end over after straitening it out so there was no sharp edges. a few gentle pushes saw a gush of water come our on...

Hi all I was wondering if someone with a W202 could do me a favour and check whether they have a drain hole in the same place as me, or I have a missing grommet (which could lead to rot)! Whilst changing the front brakes on my car (C43), I noticed that there is a 20mm hole inside the front...

Battery drain playing games on me Hello gentlemen, My problem is I can't understand what in the end bleeds the battery. Identified suspects are - COMAND, - memory seat control modules, - OCP but they are playing games with me on who is it still doing it. It all started in cold...

I've been experiencing a battery drain overnight on my W203 and its been traced back to the block heater. 1. I've been quoted £672 but is this something I could do myself or is it quite involved? 2. Is there a fuse I can pull until its resolved so I don't have to keep disconnecting the...

I have an intermitant battery drain that I am tring to track down. Car parked locked with bonnet up it rests at 0.02amps but sometimes it will show 0.02 amps then go up to 4.00 amps without touching any thing. So I start to pull fuses but then on its own it drops back to the 0.02amps it's...

I have a V220 cdi which I purchased second-hand. The guy I bought it off had a second battery installed, under the drivers seat.The reason for this was because he had a lot of extra gadgets fitted which consumed power. I found that if I left the vehicle sitting for much more than a day, it would...

Gonna drop the oil in my C55 tomorrow, which holds 8.5l. I only have a 6l catch pan. As the car has the two sump plugs I am guessing I should be okay if I do one sump at a time and decant into coke bottles. Anyone got any experince of this? Don't want to end up with a nasty stain on the drive!

Hi suddenly (without any new additions on the car recently), my W124 estate has developed a really severe battery drain. If I leave it for about 6 or 7 hours locked/unlocked it will drain the battery completly dead - not even enough power left to crank at all. I've connected a multimeter...

Evening all, hope this is the right discussion area for this post. I've owned the 180 for 3 months now (98) without any problems, until Monday when I went to start and the battery was drained. RAC called, battery was at 6V, so charged. He suspected interior light so manually switched off so...

Over the last 12 months, I've noticed that just about every friend I had in college has gotten a job... Problem is, every single one of them has gotten a job outside of the UK... Apparently, they can get better paid jobs in countries where the cost of living is lower and where engineers are...
