thanks, checked on MBWIS and the injectors are the same so would be worth it for that and the sensors ,

thanks, I have checked on the MBWIS and the fuel pump is different, The injectors and the sensors are the same and the ECM is the same part number so some parts interchangeable i think, ill check my dads car tomorrow and then revisit the e class to check, there are many parts on the e class that...

the whole car - minus CAT's is only £270 and the spares for my car would be handy :-) so if they are compatible worth getting. Was told its injectors faulty on dads S class( but dont agree) and they are £90 each second hand or £40+ each referb and told 2 are dead - cant see that not starting car...

Hi Guys. My Dad has a 2004 S320CDI which the engine wont start, been in a garage for 6 months and they cant fix it. I have the oportunity to buy a scrap 2001 E320CDI and I was hoping the engines were the same, on checking the S320 has a OM648 engine and the E320 has a OM613 engine. I know the...

I believe there is a timing tool from Mercedes in order to do this pump timing , Does anyone know anyone in South Wales who has such a tool and can do the timing.

Hey Guys. Does anyone know a good garage in Cardiff Area where I can get the pump timing done on an old 308D Sprinter Van. The Garage I have been trying to get it done for 2 weeks has let me down and I need to get my Van running properly. Any thoughts would be appreciated regards Jon

Fantastic - This will be a great help - I look forward to this job !!! - not - but will give it a go - first thing is just to check the timing is correct with camshaft & crank - if this is O.K then i will give the fuel pump a go - I had the Retter book but it didnt give as much detail as you...

I have not sorted this as yet - any help would be appreciated - I think i know where the timing marks are on the Crank and the camshaft but i dont know how to sort out the diesel pump timing or the correct settings - any info would be helpful please..

It had an engine rebuild and since then the motor wont start properly and after the previous owner spending over a Grand on repairs he decided to give up.- only starts with easystart - thoughts were either fuel or timing - Once started the engine misses slightly and is smokey but runs nice ( no...

312 sprinter - thats the sort of thing i would do - sounds like a real bit of fun buying the cars and then a van to transport them - i like the pic. to be honest i was really looking for a 310 or above but this came up at a price i could not refuse - even with the engine fault which i have yet...

Hi Job-Black-Rat - i will - first I need to get her running properly - she has a slight engine problem - timing i think so waiting for some replies from my first posting , but once this is done i will be using her as a van for a house move and once i start i will deffinately be posting some info...

Thanks for all the introductions - hope to pick your brains over time !!- glad to meet you all - Jon

Hey Guys / Girls (if any) thought i would say a high - I have just bought a 2000 Sprinter 308D to do up as a camper in the future - Dont know if there are any Sprinter owners here but there seems to be a real shortage of Sprinter owners forums available as they seem to more commercial usage not...

Hey guys - been having a problem trying to find exactly where the timing marks are on the engine (OM601 2.3D) - I have found the one on the crank and i think i know where the one is on the camshaft but not sure where the others are and how to check - Can anyone point me in the right direction or...
