    W211 Lemforder Part Numbers

    Hi, I'm trying to order a transmission mount for my 2003 W211 E320 CDI OM648. I've checked the Lemforder catalogue and I'm seeing two available part numbers but I cannot tell the difference between the two, and work out which one I need! The Lemforder part numbers which are showing as...

    What is this part?

    Turns out it's a breather valve/oil separator. It was weeping oil from the o-ring so I cleaned it up and applied a thin bead of RTV to the mating surface.

    Star Xentry - How to view fuel trim?

    Sorry I'd completely forgotten about this! I should have set up email alerts. The MOT tester managed to get it to pass eventually when the engine was hot but only just. I've actually just found out I had a leaking injector so that may have been a contributing factor. It'll be interesting to see...

    Views on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5s?

    Also have 17" AS5's on my E320 cdi and don't have pressure loss. They barely lose pressure at all. I think for the price they perform well, significantly cheaper than the Michelins which would be my first choice if it wasn't for the price.

    E bay scams

    I think it got worse over the years but guess that's due to more users. The last 2 items I've sold on eBay I had non payers. They just bid and win the auction and then never pay or reply to messages.

    H&R vs Eibach Pro Kit lowering

    I've used Eibach pro on BMW and Skoda in the past and been very impressed with the stance, ride quality and longevity. In my opinion the H&R can sit slightly lower at the rear whereas Eibach sit slightly lower at the front which looks better. I've also heard people saying the H&R can be a bit...

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    C7 GAR on a posh cigar importers company van on the M6 the other day.

    What is this part?

    I couldn't see one at first glance but it's probably under the thick layer of oily mess. I've been trying to Google what it is but I'll have a proper look tomorrow for the part number after cleaning it.

    What is this part?

    Can anyone tell me what this part is on the OM648? I have an oil leak and this plastic cover is covered in a thick layer of old oil. I can see more fresh oil on some of the hoses below this part as well. Thanks.

    W211 hot start issues!?

    Hi chaps, thanks for all your replies and advice. I've learnt a lot form this forum as always! I bought a new copper washer and stretch bolt from Mercedes for around £5 and I got lucky and found someone selling a brand new in the box genuine Mercedes injector with identical part number and flow...

    W211 hot start issues!?

    Results are in. Injector on cylinder 6 is off the chart: My next question would be if anyone recommends if I should buy a new injector or go for a refurb unit? Or is it worth having a look at the original one to see if the tip is blocked with carbon? Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

    W211 hot start issues!?

    Thanks for the information Andy, I won't mess about with the high pressure pump or fuel lines. The battery was new a couple of months ago but where it's been sat for a while the voltage has dropped a bit. I'll put it back on trickle charge to top it up. I think my next step will be a leak off...

    W211 hot start issues!?

    Thanks, is that a leak off test? I've been trying to find the cam and crank sensor sync data in Star but haven't found it yet. I'll have another look.

    W211 hot start issues!?

    Thanks Andy, I'm hoping it isn't the timing chain but I'll borrow an oscilloscope and do some tests. Here is a video of the engine struggling to start using Star diagnostics. Is the rail pressure too low whilst cranking?

    W211 hot start issues!?

    Hi chaps, I've replaced both the crank and cam position sensors but it hasn't made a difference. It starts fine when cold both just cranks with no start or occasionally will start after several attempts when the engine is hot. I do have access to Star diagnostics but I don't know what I'm...
