    Economy quick check

    I'm also wondering if I should clean the EGR? Not seeing any smoke etc, but she's done 79k now and I doubt it's ever been off. Maybe go simple with a clean of the MAF, EGR and check airbox etc? Worth a go?

    Economy quick check

    No, no excess heat, new pads about 1k ago. Drove in this morning and with the spare MAF on, the economy is better. Be good to have a comparison to see if it is similar, higher, massively out to others. Before I go taking a leap on a new one. I'll get some cleaner too, see if that helps...

    Economy quick check

    Swapped out the MAF for one I had here as a spare (old one from a scrap car), plugged that in, dropped to 1.4lb/min cold, took it on a run, full temp, but of miced driving, came back to idle at approx 1.6/7 lb/min or around 12.8 g/s, does that sound about right? If so, I've found the fault, or...

    Economy quick check

    Refused and not done :) The car has been running fine with good economy until the last few months, at least 18mths after the airbag was done. I've managed to get out and get some live readings. Engine cold I'm getting a MAF reading of 2.1lb/min which seems high to me? I'm going to run her up...

    w204 handbrake assembly remove and refit

    Hi all. I was looking to see if anyone had a guide or anything to aid in the removal of the footbrake assembly in a W204 C Class saloon? I want to take it out, clean it up and possibly replace as it has an issue with the retaining bar (hook shaped, looks like an allen key) jumping out of it's...

    iCarsoft newbie help

    Hi all, I've invested in an iCarsoft for my C-Class, a used one. I've plugged it in, works, starts up and did a quick scan with no issues. I'm just looking for a little help on going into the model specific section as to what to select? I can see C(204), but I want to make sure this is the...

    DPF Sensor replacement

    Thanks, I took it to Stuggart in Pontypridd this morning. They cleared the faults and ran a regen, confirmed it all seems to be good now. Car feels a tad more responsive, the sensor change seems to have cured it, just a pain having to pay to get the codes off etc, but lets see how it goes :)

    DPF Differential Pressure Readings

    I've fitted the new sensor, light is still on. Reason we went for the sensor, was getting a fail on diagnostic, the car was saying "soot levels too high". Car was reporting 186%. Tried a forced regen which could only be done whilst moving (fun), got the soot levels dropping down to 120% and the...

    DPF Differential Pressure Readings

    Thanks for this, I have found a good vid on youtube, my question (which I put in a separate thread) was if I change it and it is the issue, would I still need to clear the fault etc or while the ECU detect the correct reading and reset?

    DPF Sensor replacement

    Afternoon all. I'm looking at changing the old pressure sensor due to a regen fault (filter is reading 186%, but there's no soot etc coming out and it resets back to this), it's looking most likely the sensor just isn't reading correctly. EML is on, it looks not too bad to do (airbox out and the...

    Shouldn't affect as your not changing the alarm or immobiliser. Give them a call and ask. Where I used to work, it didn't, but that was 4yrs ago

    Headlight restoration

    Hi mate, the aerosol in the kit is a few quick sprays, then wipe to buff. It works well to be fair. If you are ever bringing the car this way, let me know, got plenty left

    Post 1 Headlight 0

    I did a second, longer reset the other day and 100 miles later, not come on again, even with a hard stop. I might buy an icarsoft as the sensors look simple enough to change. Still searching for a light though, crazy prices online, £400 for ones in worse condition than mine! The only others are...
