    Unable to open coolant bottle!

    Just a thought but when the plastic hits is that just not when you should pull up on the lid. Maybe it's not what you think of as a threaded cap where you have to keep turning, maybe a half turn then lift.

    E320 Limp mode

    Will take it out again as I have just went for another run and we are back in limp mode, think I might need to bite the bullet and take it to merparts for a diagnostics session.

    E320 Limp mode

    Funny you should mention that, i have had that fault come up when i floored it trying to get egr to pop out. Is this sensor somewhere near the turbo. Think i have found it, maybe buy one and see how it goes, looks like £52 from MB.

    E320 Limp mode

    Car keeps going into limp mode with the turbo actuator code although i have an recon unit fitted is there anything else i should be looking at that might also be responsible for this code. Also have the 4.7kohm resistor on the swirl flap motor connector. Thanks for any input.

    W211 OM642 EGR valve removal and clean. How easy?

    Ok just done this tonight as although i don't think it's the cause of my limp mode i was curious to prove to myself that it wont be full of crap and after 125000 miles there was some soot but think the real blockage is in the manafold hence why my swirl flap motor burnt out and also that i could...

    A few rattles, suspension kit?

    O well went for just the ball joint to see if that cured all as it had a bit play, stuck on a Lemforder and big knock is away but squeak and small knock still there. Sprayed upper control arm with chain grease and squeak reduced so think i will try the top control arm now. Managed to do ball...

    A few rattles, suspension kit?

    Yeah it does but have used them on vw passat's before with no problems, I was just wondering if someone had a line on a specific MB one they had used which they thought the quality was good.

    A few rattles, suspension kit?

    Got a few rattles, bottom ball joint which i think you can press out and maybe also the upper horse shoe shapped control arm. Has any body bought one of those kits online that have two lower arms, upper arm and ball joint. Something like this or happen to know MB prices for these items. I...

    W211 OM642 EGR valve removal and clean. How easy?

    Going to do this myself and have heard alot about how tight the fit is. One guy got it out by mistake by undoing the bolts and hitting full throttle which shot it out, he does say it was not the smartest but if mine does not come out easy i planned to loosen the bolts to see if the pressure will...

    Lambda sensor driving me mad.

    I had a thought that on left hand drive cars it may be at the top but on right hand drive cars the streering shaft is in the way so it is mounted downstream. Once you get under the car and remove cover you can see it right below the cat.
