Leave it alone, take off the bottom hose. Be careful taking out the thermostat housing you don't break it off at the neck by levering it as it goes into the cylinder head quite a way. A gentle twist and continue to pull.

After that length of time I'd be very surprised if most of the electrical connectors, fuses, relays etc aren't corroded, not to mention the chances of some rodents munching their way through the wiring. Start checking through anything that you see. Good luck.

If you have an OM642 have a look at this very informative video.

Here's an ebay one from China there are a few from Germany and UK too. Luftansaugrohr Schlauch Für Mercedes CLK 209 & C-Klasse W203 Benziner 4-Zylinder | eBay Other parts around as well the original seems to be about £50 and non OE depend on how much they are charging to deliver as it can end...

Indeed I paid about £12 delivered 2 years ago just saying the Sealey tool is better as some of the cheaper ones the nipple crimped on the end of the cable pulls off.

I used that video to take the airbox off about two years ago and it was a simple enough job. But you really need the remote hose clip pliers I have Sealey Remote Action Hose Clip Tool Clamp Removal Tools Pliers DIY Garage 5024209751537 | eBay There are cheaper ones available but it it does the...

I'd be looking at the cam cover gasket on that side. Have a look on youtube for videos.

There may be some stored codes that would point to what the problem is, I would have thought the independent would have scanned when the service was done. If not a session on STAR should show something if it's as major as a timing chain. I certainly wouldn't be changing the chain before there...

Have a look on Youtube there is plenty of information here is an E class example. Is your gear box a 722.6?

Just missed your reply before posting. The diagrams are for a LHD car so you need to allow for differences. Anyway looks like you need to do a bit of searching around on the ground. Good luck.

Don't know what happened to the text. I'm not familiar with your car's layout but it looks like a rain water drain that will exit somewhere below. If the nut is small enough it will be on the ground if the drain isn't blocked with debris. Try probing with a piece of cable or tubing.

The problem isn't the sensors as such, it's the complexity of the systems and how the manufacturers chose to build them at the price they think is economic. Finding someone who has the skill and knowledge to decipher any problem is the real issue. Have a look at this and see how easy it would...

While underneath the car checking for another problem I noticed a slight oil leak and traced it back to the brake vacuum pump right at the back of the engine which is driven off the back of the camshaft. It's only two bolts to take out to replace the gasket and a small O ring which seems to be...

Still looks like the steering angle sensor caused the problem and then reset itself after a few hours of driving. Could be a one-off problem or could be on the way out. Meantime enjoy the lack of "messages". PS If you don't reply to a post and use a new post no one will get an alert.

I don't think the steering angle sensor would cause those symptoms (indicators and stiff steering) as it would be an electronic problem. I can't comment on the garage repair as the experience I have is that the ESP warning appeared as yours does a few seconds after starting the engine with no...
