    S320CDI Power Loss + Excessive smoking

    Saw this on a friend's 220 CDi. We traced it to the fuel filter seal. Easy and cheap enough to do as a first attempt.

    A-haaaa!! You were right. I can't actually see a hole but could hear noise from this area. I've stuffed a rag in the grommet thingy (it's a sort of shaft) and the noise has gone!!! Yeeeeee-haaaaaaa. Many, many thanks.
