    Steering vibration

    Mechanic test drive my old c220 cdi estate and told me all is fine and the vibration whilst braking is not the discs or joints but caused by my Michelin crossclimate tyres which have a sharp inner edge. There is a light clunk which is apparent when braking and cornering at low speed. He says is...

    W203 c220 cdi 2005 Rattle when accelerating

    I have read that it could be the handbrake cable rubbing the propshaft, but the sound seems to be too far forward. It sounds like its just in front of the gearbox. I thought it was the front right wheel bearing but no? Would be grateful for any ideas or opinions?

    Service indicator and how does it work?

    Interesting and indeed fiendishly clever. I will have a look at the date of the last oil change and based on that draw my conclusions as to wether its simply annual or its due to starts and stops or "conductance" which I can only liken to resistance measured in Ohms

    Service indicator and how does it work?

    Can anyone explain the criteria for my c220 cdi 2005 service indicator? Just had a reminder to do a service B which i passed by a couple of weeks. I work at home and the car has done maybe 2500 kms in the last year. I usually take my motorhome if I go anywhere distant. How does the ECU know...

    220CDI goes in limp mode when outside Temperature is cold

    Same problem as Nico Exact same problem its as though the engine has to be at a midrange temperature before it runs without any holes in the acceleration. Nothing on the STAR but I do have a glowplug out and i will change all 4. Having said that it happened before anyway. EGR valve is clean no...
