As previously mentioned today I conducted a few tests, with no obvious evidence of how air is getting into the fuel system. So first I put a washer pump on the fuel supply pipe, at fuel filter joint, so it's sucking from the tank, a few bubbles from when I disconnected the pipe, air did go into...

Thanks guys for you input. I've had a good look over the engine checking wires and pipes etc and only really found the main fuel (hose) pipe from tank to be a little perished, bent it backwards and the splits were only superficial so that job can go on the wait list. Although I'm chasing the hot...

So his problem was with cold start and mine is hot start problem, not ruling it out tho-thankyou. I might see if I can get a new o ring for it. I did think whilst any air bubbles is not right that a few small ones would be ok in the pipe from filter.

I think you are right, no temp sensor that I could find on Google. There are some sort bubbles in pipe from filter to lift pump when cold engine. I will observe the bubbles on hot engine. Fuel filter recently changed and or silicone round to to ensure seal.

Yes has a lift pump

It's there anyway to check them or is that the dredded xentry required ?

Hi all, as in the title my old trusty (usually) steed will not start when the engine up to full operating water temp near 100'c. I've replaced all o rings on fuel pipes, fuel filter and had the injectors reconditioned. Local Indi's are less than helpful and buying a xentry seems impossible. I've...

Thankyou for your speedy reply,the fronts are nsf 341mm and osf 345mm, from centre of wheel badge to bottom of arch, so no the ns is slightly lower than the os. She doesn't loose sls fluid in any quantity although there was a light mist on the osr ram. The fluid level has only dropped slightly...

Hi, I have a E320 cdi estate W210 (s210) I am loving the car and can even cope with going into ocd mode with the cleaning every day, even if its just to dry her off before putting her to bed in a nice warm garage :bannana: Unfortunately the ocd doesn't stop with the cleaning and despite trying a...

Well having just come over from the other (fwd) side, where I had a pair of steele wheels and studded snow tyres ready and waiting just to be bolted on, I could drive around with no fear that I couldn't get around, yes I (think) I know that you are not allowed to use them on the roads and yes...

Your welcome if only everything was that easy :thumb:

Dieselman Is the rubber spring pad in place? They both have a rubber pad on top but they were a tigh fit so rushed the car back together without removing them, it is now I seem to remember that you tell how thick they are by the amount of bumps on them? If only I could have remebered that...

Yep 11 it is... Or in my case 22. took the low side apart to have a proper check and thought while I'm there I may aswel take the other spring out to compare... No different in length so put them back in but the opposite side and it's still low on the drivers side, so not a complete waste of...

and another suspension issue http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/wheels-tyres-brakes-suspension/161356-w210-e320cdi-estate-rear-suspension-broke.html

Hi Leeroy, I would like to say welcome but not yet am I worthy, I too am new to the world of benz and I feel privilaged to own such a comfotable, well manared, relaxed after arriving in style, phat, cool, tool etc etc etc :):) I've had my gal for 6months and I love her, I'd buy her flowers too...

The other 3 are 2 on the plastic cover and the stab link :bannana:

Thankyou all, you have all helped,:thumb: I am fortunate enough to have access to a 2 poster ramp so i'll try abit of both and thankyou for the advice, especially as now I know the spring can be taken out by removing lower arm at either end. I did have a quick look the other day, going as far...

Sorry for cross replies, I checked the springs all the way down and initially did think it was broken but it was just the outer painted cover and yes quite rusty in parts. I wasnt sure if the springs would lift it back up or the prolem was the ram, I guess possibly a bit of both. Is there a good...

Do you mean by the spheres being hard that the suspension is also, she feels firm but comfortable to drive, unbeliveable handling for the size of the car. the bounce test I would say is also firm but not excessive, Ill try the bounce again test tommorrow. I will also measure the arch gap when...

Hopefully it abit clearer on the bigger pic? Mark
