    W204 OM651 Timing Chain

    Thanks, shame Loughborough isn't local, sounds like a decent price with genuine parts. A local garage qouted me over £900 with non eom parts. He mentioned there are 3 chains to replace, I walked away as soon as heard that.

    W204 OM651 Timing Chain

    Hi, My W204 OM651 is making a rattle on morning start ups for about 3 seconds, I've heard it could be just the timing chain tensioner, but reading through most of the post in this forum it sounds like I will need to change the Chain. Does anyone recommend any good garages in the...

    W204 C220 DPF Sensor removal

    Thanks Dodipops, I heard it can be done, but I'm not sure how they do it as they either have very small hands or can do it blind-folded. I wasted 20-30 mins trying to take it off that way and it would probably have took twice as long as putting it back on. so the airbox is easier and probably...

    W204 C220 DPF Sensor removal

    Thanks Steve, i was thinking the taking the airbox off was going to be a big job, but in the end it only took around 10-15 mins. Basically I did the following: Repeat the process mentioned above, I also uncliped the MAF and MAP sensor so I don't damage any wires and to give more room to play...

    W204 C220 DPF Sensor removal

    Hi All, I need to replace the DPF sensor on my OM651 W204 C220 which is between the air filter box and the bulk head. The gap is very small but I have managed to undo the bolt and the clic clips. How do you pull of the two pipes from the sensor? I am I removing it correctly or should I be...

    W204 C220 Control Arms

    Thanks for all the help, I got a second opinion on the arms and they are not too bad, so I might get another year or two out of them. I found Autodoc very reasonable for prices, but then I also have ECP around the corners which is handy if I ever get the wrong parts! I did notice most of the...

    W204 C220 Control Arms

    Hi, I need to replace my upper and lower control arms on my driver side front suspension. Does anyone recommend any certain brands I should buy? I've seen cheap ones around £30 each on Ebay (unsure of the brand), but some are over £100 and I've not checked even checked out the genuine ones...

    W204 OM651 Thermostat

    Thats a good question, I went for the genuine as there wasnt much difference in price. I know the housing has the temp sensor and historically when I've replaced sensors on my previous cars e.g Vauxhalls BMW and Peugeot in the past with after market sensors they usually throw up fault codes or...

    W204 OM651 Thermostat

    Local garage confirm with a quick look it looks like a classic thermostat issue, I'm not totally convinced so might have to try another place. I know on another thread someone replaced the thermostat and still had the same issues? Do you know what the part number is for the Y133 switched...

    W204 OM651 Thermostat

    Thanks for all your replies. Graeme you have made some interesting points especially about the Vac pipes - could it be another blockage? There are no fault codes showing on Diag system at the moment! The Merc Independent in Oct 2017 replaced the following and I've just checked the paperwork...
