Yes I do have star c3 with addons , and no codes for tranny.

The shavings where brass like colour, but haven’t been there for last 4 oil changes, at first year time to time it went in limp during shift 2-3 , but again it hasn’t happened since. It’s certainly not in limp as when throttle at wot release brakes it slowly starts to roll till about 15-16...

Hi guys, I have this weird sound accompanied by lack of rpm and torque (like a low whistle) it’s not present at cold start till oil reaches working temperature, I have this since I bought it 3 years ago at the time I didn’t notice it nor pay attention as it was my first Viano om642.990 and...

(Sorted) Hi everyone, many thanks for your suggestions the bolts I’ve got was m14, but they were just too short to reach hub, once I took old one out and compared felt complete 🤦‍♂️ Many thanks again everyone.

Hi there, Viano w639 v6 120cdi on stock 17” alloys, Had to replace security bolts with standard bolts, so purchased some standard Merc. Bolts m14/-1.5but they turned out to be too small in diameter, how come as Mercedes only does m12 and m14 bolts in various length. Any advise please.

Thanks I see, that’s something I would never tough of as never had worked on crankshaft pulleys. The first I noticed it being wrong was while belt was off spotted spacing difference between pulleys , grabbed it from different angles it sits solid on, tried with screw driver and hammer tap in to...

To be honest no idea, it doesn’t play around on its axis, by the looks it just doesn’t sit right on, What rubber bit yore referring to? There should not be any rubber bits on here.

Hi guys, I’ve never seen anything like this, the inner part of crankshaft pulley is all over the place, it’s obvious that crankshaft is not bent, but how come pulley became dislodged like this?!

Thanks I see, will go for a new pump in this case, Yes it’s a v6 squeezed in w639 total nightmare to access anything between radiator and block.

Hi guys, some advice would be appreciated, Drive belt snapped and I was confident that an ac pulley as it tend to give out sounds consistent to bearing failure, however it turns freely and quiet as other drive belt components except water pump, I grab it both hands and lot of force was needed...

Hi all, As there was no response in regards my issue in post above, I’ve had to improvise my self, and so results are in: After fitting 4.7k resistor to swirl flaps on my om642, it would go in limp on every idle generating 2355-1 insufficient egr flow, So in response unplug egr plug (3 wire)...

Hi guys, I know that swirl flaps and resistor been discussed here over and over, but yet I’m struggling for over year since resistor fitted. As plastic links broke on both side swirl flaps I took motor out , fixed flaps open position and fitted resistor. However when idling or stop red light...

Thank you.

Hi there, Would anyone direct me right direction whit correct name of this part , it’s bar with bushings going across in front of w639 is that anti roll bar or something. Regards igors

Hi guys, I had large boost leak for few months have checked all pipes, seals, no luck. Today made diy boost tester and immediately spot problem, see picture- I have no idea what meant to be connected there apart of swirl flap motor fitting( sf motor is removed as it was jammed and links...
