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...

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.

Hi guys, I have an issue with my 2003 OM648 E320 CDI. Recently I havent been using the car much and I went to start it up but it just cranked and didn't start. The battery didn't appear to be the issue as it was cranking over no problem but not starting. I thought i'd try jump starting it...

Hi chaps, For the 4 years I've owned my W211 I've had a minor knocking sound which comes from the steering column area when I turn the wheel sharply at low speed or go over bumps generally at low speed. It's definitely not a suspension knock, it's either steering column or rack. If I grab hold...

Hi chaps, My E320 cdi OM648 just failed MOT on emissions. The smoke test gave an average value of 1.2 and the plate value is 0.6. I've treated the fuel system with Millers Ecomax and given it a good thorough drive with plenty of high RPM acceleration but it hasn't improved at all. I have...

Hi chaps, when refitting the new front drop links, what is the best way to ensure they have the correct amount of tension/preload on them before tightening them fully? My thoughts were to have the front of the car up on jack stands (both sides), then use a jack to lift up the hub on one side to...

I'm about to replace both front drop links on my 2003 W211 E320 CDI and was wondering if anyone could help me with the torque specs for the upper and lower bolts (bush end and ball joint end) of the drop links? Thanks!

Hi guys, I have the Comand NTG1 with navigation (DVD unit in the boot) and CD changer in the front under the head unit. I have just removed the original Mercedes ipod interface unit as it wasn't being used and now the CD changer doesn't work. Does the ipod interference need to be connected...

Hi guys, I've got an electrical fault on my 2003 E320 cdi which is intermittent and I need to get it sorted ASAP. This fault has been present for several years now and it has been looked at by Mercedes several times before. The symptoms of the fault are usually a warning light in the...

I've just purchased a set of 17" Mercedes Rucha alloys for my E320 cdi as I find the 16" originals a bit too small for the car. Can anyone confirm if the tyre size for the 17" wheels should be either 225/45/17 or 245/45/17? The 225 tyres are a fair bit cheaper than 245 so was going to go for...

Hi guys, My 2003 W211 has developed a knocking sound from the steering column area. It did have an MOT advisory which said slight end float on steering column shaft. Does anyone know what this is referring to? The noise occurs when I push/pull the steering wheel, it's like there's a bit of...
