    Door Locks - W204 C250 Coupe (2011)

    Let us know how you resolve this, I have 2012 S204 that does the same intermittently but only the drivers door affected. Have cancelled the automatic locking as a couple of times the inside door handle would not open the door. Manual key always works though, Peter

    R230 issue

    Be very careful how you remove them, they get very brittle and break easily. Pete.

    Diesel smoke issue

    I'm sure somebody more knowledgeable than I will be along soon with approximate costs. I didn't fancy doing it myself, the local garage said it would be a few hours work but declined to estimate the cost.

    Diesel smoke issue

    No, haven't bothered, it seems to be the consensus of opinion by several commercial fitters over the last couple of years. I have changed the PCV valve, changed the turbo seals and as I live in a very rural area I can live with it.

    Turbo trouble….e350CDi

    Would suggest try the actuator rebuild first. Seems to be a common problem. Assume you have the OM642 engine, did mine recently, £96.00 including return postage for a rebuild. Fiddly job, but plenty of how to videos on you tube. Cheap Chinese copies on EBAY a bit suspect. Peter.

    Welcome, you'll find this forum invaluable. My SL did'nt like being parked up either, so I make myself do a 50 mile run at least once a week now. Will be doing the ABC flush soon, following the detailed instructions on this forum. The knowledge here is amazing.
