water

As the title says. I'm not a 'Detailer' like some of you guys, but I do like a clean car and the rear window on my W208 convertible has marks from water on the outside. I've tried giving it a good scrub, to no avail, so I thought I'd ask the experts. The car is a 2000 model, so the marks have...

So I removed the rear light clusters from the boot lid, to reveal: The water leaking in through mostly the top screw hole but also the bottom one. I have put a mix of petroleum jelly and WD40 around the screws to prevent the water from getting in. It was also only leaking in through the O/S...

My 350 convertible has water sloshing around in the sills noticeable when I brake at slowish speed. Has anyone else had this problem? I located a plastic screw in plug at the rear jacking point, unscrewed that and loads of water came pouring out so at least the sills are empty now. BUT...

Contemplating selling my 180K and reinstalling the original audio unit before sale, ergo my retrofitted NTG 2.5 Comand would be up for grabs. Wondering what the market would be?, and what would be a fair asking price for a 100% guaranteed unit.

I saw a thread recently regarding water consumption and steam fro exhaust. An engineer friend of mine had a similar problem on a170 hp seat Leon and having done all the usual checks , head gasket etc. narrowed it down to the cooling circuit on the EGR system bleeding water into the engine. I...

Guys I'm a little confused- my water is 306ppm on the TDS meter straight from a mains tap. With the DI vessel containing Tulison MB115 that I have had for a few months it takes it down to 0ppm for car washing. I have today installed a Kinetico Aquablu home water softener and the tap feeding my...

Guys/gals Just wondered what your views/advice was about a water softener for the home. I live in a pretty hard water area and have been considering one of these for a while. My colleague recommends the Kinetico range and suggested the Aquablu (Kinetico Aquablu water softeners | Water...

Hi guys I'm new here and new to MB too, I'm hoping you guys can push me in the right direction. Since owning my 1990 500sl I've found some parts can be hard to find, I'm currently having a rad custom made as no one currently has any stock of them and can't say when they will do next, I tried my...

Ring gumming. Been reading various water injection threads with interest. One day I may set it all up properly with valves and pumps etc, but in the meantime, I was thinking pumped garden fence sprayer straight into plenum twice a year before the car's oil change and dino thrash. My question...

1/ Could anybody provide a ball park figure on what would be a fair charge to replace a water pump (Parts / Labour) on an e class s211 assuming no other issues at an independent garage? 2/ What pump brand do you recommend if taking this on oneself? There seems to be quite a variety Thanks...

Hi there, Background - last year I had electrical issues (windows opening on their own, engine kept running with key removed, wouldn't lock etc etc) and this was traced to the battery compartment under the drivers seat which was half full of water and a connection box and SAM unit both had to...

Morning all, Considering going down to Santa Pod on Sunday 23rd August and running the C63 down the 1/4 mile. Hoping to be able to borrow Acid's Slicks to be able to do this otherwise don't think there's much point in doing it with road tyres. I just wanted to gauge whether there would be...

Hi Just noticed my front windscreen washer does not pump water to the screen. I have topped up the water,still no joy, infact when the stalk is pushed the wipers work as normal but can't hear the pump running. The head lamp washers function ok.No error messages are present!! Any ideas chaps ??

Noticed a few watermarks on the drivers seat this morning after a few heavy showers yesterday, after further investigation with a hosepipe aimed predominantly at the top of the drivers side screen witnessed a few drips eminating from the inner front door post upholstery/roof lining. Just...

Hi after removing the rear bumper on my c220 09 reg today I found the rubber water drain pipe had fallen off and was lying on the blank panel that is fitted to the underneath where I imagine a offside exhaust goes on the c320-c63 etc. I watched a short video on YouTube before hand to get some...

It was perhaps inevitable with the increasing numbers of small forced induction petrol engines appearing that this old technology would re-surface. Water Injection We have all experienced how engines run better in dense humid air conditions so this may be a good thing. Claims for...

I have to replace the water pump on my SLK, it's started to leak at the shaft. Anything I should be aware of? I've had a quick look and it looks straightforward.

Can't reply in the selling section, chap. I would start by selling it on here. Personally, I would rather buy an enthusiast-owned example of what I am interested in. Pays dividends in the long. If you get no joy after say a month, I would probably try Pistonheads next. Good luck with it.
