    Sl320 is there a how to fuel tank drain

    Based on the good advice I would pay a mechanic to do the job and dispose of the waste in one act. That said, I have been driving the car easy each day and it is quite smooth so far. I might not need to drain the tank. The fuel is going down. Is it better to top up with new fuel gradually or...

    Air filter date??

    Hi all. Re:- e250 2010 Please see attached. I took out my engine air filter to see its condition just in case it is contributing to my Om651's many fold problems which i might need to detail on here in rhw near future. 1. Is this a 20th of September 2011 air filter? 2. How does it look? 3...

    New intake motor still no kickdown..

    E250 2010 265000kms OM651 Having replaced the intake manifold actuator, the problem persists. When I floor the accelerator, the engine light comes on and there is no kickdown. The car is quite smooth otherwise with engine light on. My indie cleared the codes, then I drove the car and floored...

    Hell o, e250 OM651 estate 2010 wdd2122032A.. Symptoms are engine light in dash, no gearbox kickdown. Indie read codes, pointed to intake manifold motor. New MB intake manifold motor was installed and the intake system cleaned and the car drove fine with kickdown. Oil service done too btw. Then...

    Sorry, I stampeded through the thread and neglected your comment that it was a heatshield problem and is now resolved - great news. Enjoy.

    Merdeces R129 noise when accelerating

    Hi, A couple of thoughts... I know the distinctive sound of a broken catalytic convertor, my car has two , one of which was replaced because it was rattling. The heat shields are very light like disposable foil trays, they wrap around the catalytic convertors if I go through a puddle and rattle...

    Torn Diesel Hose

    I cut off the rough edges (2.5 cms shorter now) and pressed the hose on with a new clip. It is a little stressed but not kinked. It's hopefully enough to get me to my indie. I learned it primes itself so i did the key in position two for 20 seconds twice and it started first time. No damage done...

    Torn Diesel Hose

    2010 E250 Estate OM651 Hi again, This car would break my heart if my expectations hadn't been lowered so much during my ownership. So I accept that bits and pieces fail and break off after a certain age. So I was cranking and cranking the engine...

    After market intake manifold motor?

    hi, i need to replace my inlet manifold motor. I know the wisdom of getting proper mb replacement parts but my option is €500 original or €170 meat and doria. Firstly, is this part one that needs to be replaced with an mb? Secondly, has anyone used meat and doria? Thanks for listening, D.

    New sub frame and uneven rear suspension

    So I drove by my indie. Xentry said there was no fault with the ride height sensors. The right side had previously been lower than the left. Using xentry he raised the rear suspension height and the bar graphs for left and right read even. It looked correct. Well, the right side now looked...

    New sub frame and uneven rear suspension

    MrGreedy, I'll have a scan around the www for that , it sounds plausible to me (though I know very little) because of the lack of fluctuation....i would incline to give my local mb the benefit of the doubt as they have been very good to me over the years when i needed them and i know the car is...

    New sub frame and uneven rear suspension

    The right side was replaced by the previous owner. MB pointed out the right side is aftermarket. Before the car went in for the subframe it was level. When it came out it was down on the right. But not sinking at all. Ages ago there was a leak in the left airbag which was replaced with a dunlop...

    New sub frame and uneven rear suspension

    Fair enough DSM10000 I was just curious that they mentioned the right (the sagging side) as being after market eventhough the left is also aftermarket. Also, if there is no fluctuation up or down (even when the car is undriven for days) and that the uneveness stays the same, that there might be...
