Haha, good point, I only looked at the date on the previous reply!

Hi Mate, I could be interested in the c32 wheels as I think I have a crack in my front left. Whereabouts are you?

Just as an update, I am keeping an eye on the car for now and will add to the thread if I find anything. Thanks

I thought the intercooler pump might be there too, which worries me slightly. I'll try a few things tonight and report back.

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that when I wrote 'damp patch'! Good idea though, thanks.

Just noticed that while moving it off the (gravel) drive to get it level to check the oil, I left a trail. Hard to tell what this is, but possibly coolant. There is a damp patch at the bottom of the off side front wheel well, but I can't see anything else dripping now. The gravel makes it hard...

I did want to check the level, but with no dipstick it makes it tricky. When I try through the display I get 'perf serv on time' which might be because I had the engine running to get the car to a flat surface. Will try later. The oil in the cylinder is pretty black, so I was thinking of...

Thanks, I'll take a look tonight. The mayonnaise was very minor, so hopefully not too serious. The car had been idle for two weeks but had the dreaded 'check coolant level' message when I started it up again.

Hi I have been seeing quite a loss of coolant in my car (2003 estate) and did some digging around yesterday. All I can find is that the expansion tank was damp underneath, so it may be leaking through the cap when under pressure. However, I put over a litre in and it still wasn't quite up to...

Funnily enough I spoke to a mechanic friend of mine last night and he suggested exactly the same thing, so I'll be getting my brakes looked at too.

I'm in awe of the work you've done, good stuff. Incidentally, you can apparently buy the correct build plaque for your car. You need to register on the AMG Private Lounge, sent them your vin and they will confirm who built your engine, then you can order the plaque from a dealer. I haven't...

Just tried it and brakes / hand brake make no difference. It is speed dependant, sounds like a bike with a playing card in the spokes! A friend runs a local tyre place so will take it to him tomorrow to check. I need new rears anyway as they are down to 2mm, which may be a regular occurance...

That is so strange. I just took my c32 out for a drive earlier and noticed exactly the same noise... I took the wheel off and checked everything I could see, but nothing was obvious. It sounded like something was stuck in the heat shield behind the disc, but nothing to be seen. After...

Lovely car, great work you've done on it too. Don't fancy looking after my C36 for a month or two do you? ;)

That's a shame, I was looking forward to a bit more forward momentum! Thanks for all your work anyway Matty :thumb:
