Ok so after a few weeks of stressful ringing around and sourcing parts I’ve had the engine looked at by a competent person, the sprockets where worn and the chain stretched to a considerable degree how I’ve not had the engine go bang is a miracle, the guys at west coast Automotive in Lytham have...

Thanks I’ve got it booked in this week, I was hoping someone might give me that rare bit of reassurance it could just be a sensor [emoji20] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so at risk of being lynched for asking this yet again I have a 2011 c250 coupe, it has the m271 eco engine and I have the dreaded camshaft sensor engine code. Now I have no chain rattle I’ve had zero issues and a full main dealer history, do we think this is chain stretch at 80k miles or...

This is very plausible i have noticed some other electrical niggles, i shall have this checked today

I have recently had a full service and had this checked as part of it so fingers crossed its all still ok

Hi Guys, ha d couple of colder mornings and when starting usually it starts on the first spin, its taking 3 or 4 goes then rattles and starts. An engine light came on but on the next start disappeared and when i read the car with my scanner it shows no new or stored codes! The car is...

Hi Guys, so after it dried out I have had countless trips in the rain and countless times ive washed the car and ABSOLUTELY NO WATER. I can only assume someone kindly spilt something or ive left the window slightly open, god knows!

Had the vax out today, pulled two pints of dirty water out of the carpet. Thankfully reassuring me that it isn’t the heater matrix but still concerned as to how it’s getting in. Are there are drain holes toward the back of the vehicle? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok chaps so this is where we are at, I’m slightly greyer and balder. The drains at the front are clear, the boot drains are clear, the heater matrix is fine with no loss of coolant, the carpet is completely dry throughout aside from the offending area, the door seal is perfect. I’m absolutely at...

While it’s been hot I’ve dried it all out, I think your bang on there as you could almost see a channel where it had got in, once dry I stuck some kitchen towel the full length of the carpet and put the heater on full, no sign of any water so I assume the coolant low warning was a red herring, I...

I once had a similar issue on my w203, I sacrificed the door card as it was the cheaper option, once removed you can access the latch mechanism and open the door, reattach to the outer handle and your away. Fairly tricky but I wouldn’t have them break the door Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had a couple of variants from eBay and Amazon and wasn’t too impressed, ended up just getting the fitted amg variant mats from my local dealer, the fit is perfect as you’d expect and they are hard wearing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mega confused, just checked the coolant level it’s hardly dropped, maybe a sensor fault and a red herring it’s been roasting here the past couple of days Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
