Hello guys/girls, I am hoping you can help I have a 515 Mercedes sprinter minicoach and it is occasionally kicking out putrid white smoke on idle, the oil level was also rising.. the garage says the dpf is not blocked but I've only had the problems since they replaced the catalytic convertor...

Hi Hope everyone is doing well, I need some help please. Yesterday I realised slight smoke coming from the exhaust so when I opened the bonnet and removed the engine cover I realised oil residue around the rocker cover. Am I right to assume that the rocker cover is leaking around the seal...

Have finally ordered my replacement egr and manifold, but noticed the other day that the air filter indicator has gone to red. Reset it and straight away back to red indicating it's blocked but the filter is nearly new. I'm now wondering if there is another problem on the inlet side , but what...

I have a problem with my 2005 C220 which results in a puff of black smoke on initial acceleration. Once up to speed there is no/very little smoke. I've had the car for 6 months. The person before me had a remap (which I know can cause overfueling thus black smoke) but I hadn't noticed it until...

I filmed this a few days ago. The car was treated with Gtechniq Crystal Serum 25 months ago. I've never polished, waxed or even dried the car since (though I do use a DI vessel during washing/rinsing). I'd say, taking into account the labour cost and material cost of the more...

Hi, Need massive help from you guys if possible please? I have W210 320cdi. High pressure fuel pump started leaking. So I changed all the seals and it's fixed now. HOWEVER!! since then it's causing blue (ish) smoke. Before sorting the high pressure fuel pump it had no smoke issue at all. My...

Well, it seems like the car is taking a dislike to me! Changed the thermostat today, and yes, managed to break the crappy plastic fuel line. Fortunately Drayton had one on the shelf. It is running better now and fuel consumption is better. Problem now is it is black smoking and lacking any real...

Hello, Has anyone wet painted a set in this finish ? I have been at my cousins unit - and a guy asked the question ... He has been refurbishing the remainder of his stock of 15 and 8 hole Merc alloys. I would love to see any pictures of "different" colours, used on these styles of...

Hi all, first post so hoping you guys can help. I've recently purchased this car and it has a full Mercedes service history and has been really well looked after. 114,000 miles I've had it for 4 weeks and 2 weeks ago I had the car remapped from a well reviewed garage and I've noticed great...

Help. While cold perfect (about 5mins). Then smoke with loads of soot in it. After further few minutes a diesel knock and missing lumpy drive. Not sure if it's fuel related or head gasket/ cracked block etc. It's started while driving along. Fine, been driving for an hour or so then loads of...

A couple of months ago i replaced the 6 glow plugs with the correct Beru ones, this took away the glow plug light that had been staying on. Now in this cold weather it taking a while to start, it coughs into life and puffs out unburnt diesel. I read this is more than likely the glow plug control...

Ever since the temperatures dropped (they are about 18*C in my garage so I wouldn't classify them as low) I started noticing the engine takes a few cranks to start. When I take the car out of the garage and the temperature is around 5-10*C, there is white smoke coming out of the exhaust the...

Hi Guys, I've had my S class for about a year now and have noticed from the start there is substantial white smoke on cold starts or when sitting in traffic. The smoke stinks and I can only imagine it is diesel which isn't being burned. I know from the previous owner that the car had the...
