    W203 c180k timing chain progress - breaker riveter tool

    I had thought about that, of course there is also the option of keeping it and renting it out for a fee to group members or offering a reasonable price timing chain replacement etc

    W203 c180k timing chain progress - breaker riveter tool

    So iv finally had the time to make some headway on the timing chain of my sport edition c180k. I have removed the s/c, alternator, aircon, PAS, and water pump, and crank pulley, along with the upper timing cover. Also managed to remove the engine bay wiring harness and have all replacement...

    C180 kompressor engine loom connections

    Hi boys and girls, I unfortunately have fallen foul of three major common faults on my vehicle. My cam magnets leaked which I was aware of and ordered replacements plus blocking looms. Unfortunately the issue is pretty bad having accumulated at the lambda sensor connector and wicked up to the...

    M271 camshaft actuators

    I'm sure that's true but I'm a belt and braces kind of guy, especially as I only recently bought the car and fully intend to keep it for the foreseeable future. The cam sprockets are extremely badly damaged, to the point im very surprised the chain hasn't slipped, and although the chain looks ok...

    M271 camshaft actuators

    That was what I had assumed, hopefully genuine ones will do the job. No the parts from the cgi/turbo dont fit, they are an entirely different design. @W1ighty I had a quote from an indy specialist and they want £2219 for parts and labour, they would be using genuine sprockets/variators and an...

    M271 camshaft actuators

    So today I have taken the valve cover off my c180... fortunately my chain appears tight and has not slipped as all timing marks line up properly, unfortunately however, both inlet and exhaust sprockets are badly worn with quite a few stripped teeth. I have as of yet not removed the timing cover...

    W203 c180 power steering pump

    Where are you from dude? In the uk id try eurocarparts, autodoc or gsf. Your car is a pre facelift with the m111 engine if that helps. Should be able to find one relatively easily with your reg no.

    M271 timing gear preventative maintenance

    It is best practice to replace any gasket when you take something apart. Its not always necessary but the likelihood of having to do the job twice increases if you try to re use one

    W203 front seat bases

    Just a quick update for anyone who may have the same issue in future, I have today received a front passenger leather sport seat. The base came off very easily disconnecting the seat occupied switch and removing two screws at the front of the seat base. The base is exactly the same shape as the...

    M271 timing gear preventative maintenance

    They are a lot cheaper, but dont have the balance shaft chain etc included, although that looks to be an engine up subframe down job... is just doing the top chain sufficient or does the bottom one need doing at the same time?

    M271 timing gear preventative maintenance

    I dont think that is a cheap chain, cost of parts is pretty high, even compared to genuine mb parts. I think thats a pretty concise kit.

    M271 timing gear preventative maintenance

    Hi guys, so recently I became the proud owner of an 06 c180 kompressor sport edition. I am aware of the timing chain problems many members have had and would like to avoid the costs incurred by total failure. I see there are two modes of failure for different age engines... early models failing...

    W203 front seat bases

    I have done a few in the past, it should be within my abilities to take them off and refit them. Unfortunately im not a seamstress tho so repairing it is not something I can do. Only local firms about want to much money for it to be worthwhile... I think its a synthetic leather

    W203 front seat bases

    Hi guys, I have a split on the seam on the base of my drivers seat in my c180. All the drivers seats im finding on ebay etc have a lot of wear on the bolsters and are generally shabby, however there are plenty of passenger seats that look much better... does anyone know if the passenger seat...

    W203 c180 power steering pump

    High boys and girls, I have today pulled off my power steering pump as it was badly worn and leaking. Thankfully the leak is coming from the seals around the pump shaft and the pipe work doesn't appear to be damaged at all. Strangely I cant seem to find a part number on the pump. There are...
