    W202 - Sport Suspension - Abnormal Tire Wear

    i replaced the drag link, and did alignment. the car feels nicer now. I won't know right away the effect on the wear ... however, the alignment shop mentioned that they couldn't get the camber within spec. this might seem to support the issue with springs? in addition, and something that I...

    Took it to an indy ... looks like i need to replace drag link, and idler arm bushing. Control arms are in good condition. He also mentioned that I need to consider replacing the front springs - they had those rubber support things :-(

    W202 - Sport Suspension - Abnormal Tire Wear

In addition, there are pieces of the rubber that are coming off. Tires in question are Pirelli Cinturato P7s .. In addition, this wear is only...

    W163 oil separator issues?

    My general policy with buying parts is - 1. check aftermarket price, 2. check 2nd hand price (if it's something where 2nd hand makes sense), then most important, 3. check the stealer. .. or in simpler terms - never buy without knowing the stealer's price.

    C230K M111.975 Won't Accelerate over 4500RPM

    About 2-3 weeks ago the faulty MAF finally allowed 4000+ RPM, although the LTFT were still stuck at 32. Even better, today I replaced the faulty MB/Bosch MAF with a new Pierburg sensor. Now I have sane LTFT. :bannana: Will see if this will translate to perhaps slightly better fuel mileage or...

Turned out that a completely wrong pump had been installed by previous owners, and this pump has was on its way out, accompanied by high-pitched noises and occasionally wouldn't operate at...

    W202 C230K - R/R Engine Mountings

    I have bought Lemforder engine mountings for my W202 C230K, and intended to replace them today. For the life of me, I couldn't find a way to remove the right hand side (driver side) engine mount. Vehicle is RHD, and the supercharger and steering gear make it basically impossible to turn the top...
