    W202 injector refurb quoted nearly £1000

    i gather the problem is not changing the nozzles, its firstly getting the injectors out as they can be tight, then after fitting the nozzles the injectors need to be calibrated so they spray at the correct pressure. i live near worcester so if any of those quotes came from near me let me know.

    W202 injector refurb quoted nearly £1000

    I just found a full set of injector nozzles on ebay £80. I'm tempted to have a bash myself. How hard are they to change?

    W202 injector refurb quoted nearly £1000

    I rang a local diesel mechanic the other day to get a quote to refurb the injectors in my C250. He returned at least £700 + vat. I told him i didnt want the gold plated ones just the standard would be fine, to which we both laughed. Is it just me or does this seem completely over the top? Maybe...

    Can I use new veg oil

    I run my 202 on new veg oil, it is fine. The problem is only with common rail fuel systems, the older the car the better. Beware problems in the cold weather, it will wax up and block fuel lines. This time of year is fine, but i mix 25% kerosene in winter. Good luck.

    Holding in 2nd Gear when engine/gearbox is cold?

    I have this with my w202, except mine is when its hot or cold. If i pull away quickly it will hold second to redline and then not move to third until the revs have dropped back to 2000 or so. I am told that holding second gear when cold is normal as it is supposed to warm up the cat quicker...

    C250 td Throttle position sensor, part number needed

    Following a number of faults with the car, i have had it suggested that the tps maybe faulty. I have looked for a replacement for the one fitted part number A011 542 86 17 but this doesnt seem to tally up with this model car. Can anyone clarify the correct part number before i order. Its a 1998...

    w202 ATF dipstick - help needed.

    I have suspected for a while that my transmission is low in fluid. The car doesnt come with a dipstick and mb want silly money to check it. So i have acquired a dipstick, looks homemade, but it reaches the bottom of the gearbox. The min and max lines have been worn off - can anyone tell me the...

    C250 td auto - good mpg or not??

    Its the first time i have took this car on a run today, so a good chance to see how good or bad it is on fuel. I covered 260 mile on 45 quid of fuel, i worked that out to be about 38 mpg. Is that about right for this car? i was expecting more. I stuck it at a steady 70mph with cruise on most of...

    C250 Td funny noise

    that price seems about right, i'm looking in to having mine done. I am told there is a difference between getting them reconditioned and getting the re-calibrated. Apparently mine may only need re-calibrating, not sure if the price is any different.

    C250 td engine pinking

    I've cured the air in the fuel pipes with a previous problem by changing all the clear pipes and seals. It seemed to get worse afterwards. I was hoping not to have to get the injectors out, but its starting to look more likely.

    C250 td engine pinking

    I have never heard of a diesel engine pinking before. Its something i always associated with bad ignition timing on petrol engines or incorrect fuel. The car has been doing it since i have owned it and it seems to be getting worse. Just as the turbo begins to kick in on acceleration between 1500...

    C250 Td funny noise

    I have been running on a dodgy mix of Diesel, kerosene and ATF for the past week and i've got to say there is a noticable difference. The knocking on tick-over as gone and it is generally quieter. I filled up with diesel yesterday and it seemed the same, so its a definate improvement. The...

    C250 Td Kick down not working

    I have had this fault since owning the car and it has never worked. The kick down button at the bottom of the accelerator pedal doesnt do anything. I have checked the switch and it is ok. I cant find a relay, but i'm sure there must be one. I dont know how this system works to start fault...

    woosh when opening fuel cap

    I'm pretty sure all fuel tanks have breather to prevent this from happening. If there is a breather and it is blocked in can cause fuel problems. It is usually part of the filler cap.

    W202 C Class..Unable to gain access to Boot due to flat battery

    Sounds like you've managed to do it now, but i had this in the past with another car. I made a lead which had a cigarette lighter plug on one end and a 12v drill battery on the other. I turned on the ignition, plugged my lead in to the lighter socket and got all the electrics working. I'm not...
