I thought the new lock had to be coded in to work via a blue key or something? That guide suggests its plug and play and I'm sure it's not. Mines booked in for next week, parts are on order from Germany as we speak...

I've booked it in for next week to have the ESL done anyway. It's going to be one of them things that I'll always worry about leaving me stranded somewhere if I don't get it done. Ice nearly had it with this car to be honest, it seems like it's one thing after another! What happened to Benz...

I'm going to replace the battery first. I can't help but think since I had the sidelights on for about 15 mins whilst changing a bulb and the problem occurred immediately that the battery won't be helping. That and the fact at the time it was reading 11.96v and hasn't played up since have a...

As above really, my W204 ESL (2009)/started playing up today and I really can't afford to be stranded! Does anyone have a recommendation for whi to repair it, or is it a case of renewal? Presumably the latter will need recoding as nothing seems to be plug and play in this car! Theres...

You sir, are a wealth of knowledge! At least it's put my mind at ease as to where it goes. Now all I have to do, is find out why the rev counter appears to be pulsing ever so slightly, I was convinced that vacumm pipe was the cause! Haha. Thanks again.

Graeme, that's helped massively. I'm pretty sure I'm looking at part 15 in that diagram. Hopefully I'll find where it goes now (it says a filter)

Hopefully this works?

Cheers for the reply mate. I'm not sure there's enough on the pipe to actually get it to the block, and following it round it seems to go to the Maf? I'm going to try and get a picture on the forum, bear with me...

Hi All, I recently had some work done at a local garage on my W204 220Cdi (they changed the EGR Cooler and stop some blows from it) however i now have a pipe left off which they said they thought vented to atmosphere.. The pipe is sucking rather than blowing. Long and short is, I think...

I meant the whole lot, cooler and valve but.. The replacement has turned up and it would appear that (after offering it up to the car) that it is the correct one. Fingers crossed... Thanks gents.

Sorry for late reply Gents, was at work until late.. Chassis no is WDD2040022A322205 Many thanks.

Sorry, Dronfields.....

Could some please tell me the correct part number I need for the EGR cooler system on a W204 2009 C220 Cdi (651 engine)? I've ordered a new (second hand) one from Droyfields and he assures me it's the one for my engine but just wanted to double check before I send it to the garage and weigh...

Can anyone tell me where the throttle body is on a 2009 c220 Cdi (651 engine?) Also, is there a way to test it? Have been getting a Charge Movement Flaps Bank 1 code which I've been told is the Throttle Body... Would be nice to test before weighing out for a new one..

Nobody?
