    Turbo boost pressure

Take the turbo boost pressure for example. At 3000 rpm I record a boost pressure of 1600 to 1700 millibars. 1020 at idle. The car is an e...

    Understanding codes

    OK so I am going round in circles here. I bought an icarsoft code reader. Now the reader, thankfully, only gives a few codes, mostly old stored ones. For example 9088 or 9050. My question to all of you clever people is this. My codes seem all to start with 9. The codes listed in the sticky posts...

    Remove / install temp sensor in thermostat E class220cdi

    Hi all. I am changing the thermostat on my 2003 E class 220 cdi. The old stat is off, but it has the coolant sensor in it. I have removed the metal clip. It is stiff or stuck inside still. How do you get it out? The new stat I bought does not have a sensor included so I guess I just have to put...
