Hi - The driver side mount upper bolt has hardly any space - do I need to remove the Cat and turbo?

Happy new year! Are there any gotcha’s on changing the Left and right engine mounts on a w203 c270cdi? Is it just a simple case of the front wheels onto ramps with a block of wood under neath the sump with a jack and then replace? Thanks in advance!

Thanks its for a W203. Would I be better off disconnecting the battery instead?

Hi all, I am about to pull take off the top of the dashboard to get at the M2/16 motor which is clicking. When I remove the top dash the passenger airbag has to be disconnected - does this require a reset afterwards with star? thanks

I read in forums that you need to cycle left to right 50 times to get all the air out. The mb tech note says 30 times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I disconnected the line to the steering cooler and also sucked out the fluid from the reservoir by turning the steering from left to right. UNLESS there is air still trapped which is causing the problem in your and my situation.

Hi- checked the joint. It moves ok and also lubricated it as well. I did put another pump, no joy. Old pump was tested at the refurbers for 30mins on a rig, pressure was good. Reservoir filter was dirty from what I could see, as the unit is sealed, cleaned out with brake cleaner. Still...

Hi All, C270cdi 2005 estate I have a ongoing problem with a steering rack, in the morning the steering is nice and easy. As the temperature rises the steering gets harder. After a couple of hours of driving, gets really hard to turn. Done the following: Rack 7 months old - refurbed - first 2...

Doubt the ball joint, as first 30 minutes of driving is easy, as soon as the car is warmed up, the steering stiffens but will self centre slowly.

no noise odd from the pump just the rack squeaking when turning

No leaks here. Did you change the pump in the end?

Hi All, I have a W203 270cdi 54reg estate. Early morning start from cold - steering is nice and easy to turn. After about an hour of driving steering gets harder and harder to turn i.e. when the car is warmed up. Fresh Fluid - level is correct on the dip stick at the respective temperatures...

Hi All, Can anyone advise what direction the fat and thin 'nubs' on the strut mount should be? I recently changed both front shocks and fitted the strut bearings back as was. Currently trying to track down why the front driver side wheel has a clunk and feels like it its bobbing up and...

Hi All, Having an issue with my w211 saloon, e270cdi 177k. When braking from high speed, it slows down with out any issues. Its only when going from 30-25mph to zero, is when the car whole shimmys OR weird slow shake before coming to a halt. Last mot identified a n/s/r carrier bush...

Hi mate - the lemy arm bushes were too soft, ECP refunded. Went to my local indy for usual A serv, they showed me a number of brand new arms that were going back to ECP, they were like jelly. It was causing major grief when tracking as the arms kept moving. I ended up reusing my old arms as the...

Hi - Yes the bushes were tightened under load.

Hi, just checked the bolts this evening, they are correctly tightened. On closer inspection the ball joint has no play however the rubber on the bush has a lot of flex that I can twist by hand and reproduce the knocking sound. Conclusion - faulty :-(

Hi Olly, thanks for the feedback, I did tighten the bolts under load, i will sanity check the I the bolts - what is the recommended NM?
