Hi, as the title says, I have a C63 rattle when I first crank the engine in the morning, it goes away almost instantaneously and it is worse when the oil level was lower than at the full mark and also worse when I had OW40 oil.... These things make me believe its down to oil pressure perhaps not...

Hi everyone... I haven't been on here for a long time... I used to have a couple of mercs in the UK, then had a couple of BMWs and Audis.... then I moved to USA in January with my job for a couple of years and thought I would go back to Mercs. I bought a C63 AMG 2010 and GL550 2011. The GL550...

Good suggestion, didn't think of that. Will start pulling it apart soon...! Cheers

Hi all....Have a leak on SWMBO C220 CDI Coupe, 2004 plate and its driving me mad! When filled to the correct oil level the car dumps oil from somewhere at the rear of the engine, it gets onto the exhaust manifold and burns causing an awful smell in the car and obviously if you take the revs up...

Isn't that like deciding to fit two air filters? If you fit Brabus chip and then remap over it you have lost the Brabus map you just fitted

Hahaha yes i guess its misleading...! I did think about one of those or a Cayman or something but they are bit small for me....

Just looking for peoples opinions really......I have had my C270 CDI for ages now, well 18 months but thats ages to me, and i only bought it because i was doing high miles. Now i have changed companies and work only 7 miles from where i live.......So, i have been looking at getting something...

It only does it from standstill, or very low speeds and also on overun.....This leads me to believe that maybe it has an EGR fault since that only operates at the above times. It doesnt particularly smoke if i floor it all the way through the rev range, anyone know if the EGR is likely...

Brilliant

Hello one and all....I have the rather common puff of black smoke when setting off and its starting to annoy me! Any opinions welcome! The story thus far is this....The car initially didnt smoke at all, i then decided to run millers diesel additive with the fuel. The car then smoked a little bit...

Nice advise, will do that then at weekend! Cheers, will post how it goes and take pics....

I swear by Swissvax leather cleaner and leather milk, my leather interior looks no different to a new car and smells the same too. The cleaner is not milk either so it doesnt clog the perforated seats....Its pricey though

Hi all, i was thinking that with this nice weather etc i would sort out the exterior paint on my car. Its Obsidian Black and not flat as such but not as shiny as it could/should be. I dont want to spend a fortune as was going to have it mopped etc by a bodyshop but thought i would at least have...
