Thanks for the part number. I had the oil leak from the cam magnet a while ago,so installed the harness fix to stop it going into the harness. recently the engine warning light came on, my OBD reader indicated the cam magnet was faulty, so had a look at it and saw it was leaking pretty badly...

Cheers

Does anybody know the part number for the Cam Magnet for a 2001 CLK 230 A208 with a 111 engine? I have done a search but wasn't able to find anything

Just had mine done. The gas had to be vacumed out before you take the pressure switch off, if you don't you risk contamination of a nasty gas.

A sensible map will do no damage. Because engines have to perform in all climates and atmospheres, the best default configuration that will run half decent in all these spheres are used. Luckily for us we live in a temperate climate so are able to change the power curve to gain power...

The only way you can tell is by connecting a diagnostic machine onto the ECU. I've been round the block far to many times, and been into the rodding and custom scene since I stopped wearing nappies, and I have never come across anybody who has been in a serious accident get pulled up for a...

Of course there is no way for the insurance company to know if it is chipped or not. Not condoning this, but most people who remap their cars never inform their insurance because they can't tell one way or the other.

I used K seal and it screwed my cooling system, it clogged it up, so cost me large amounts of dollar. My fault was similar to yours, turned out the block was cracked, so when the engine was cold there was no problem, but when it warmed coolant was able to seep into a cylinder which I didn't...
