Sounds like a weak thermostat, which is common.

What is an S220? It's not a W220 as the S-Class never had a 4-Cylinder Diesel. Do you mean a W212 (Saloon) S212 (Estate) E220?

Anyone got any ideas. I've got a new Rad and Transmission Filter kit including pilot bushing on standby but this hum/drone has decreased with new engine mounts, if I bounce it on the throttle when it's doing it the frequency changes and it sounds like it's coming from the rear, bushes look good...

It was a remarkably strange model. A hybrid of the PFL and FL models. It had the OM642 engine with 722.9 7G Gearbox. Problems included: -swirl flap motor failure due to the poor turbo seal, and linkages being so fragile it's almost impossible to replace in situ. -A wiring loom that had been...

Well I've changed the engine mounts and transmission mount. No vibration through the seats at idle now and no shudder on engine shutdown. Welded up the broken exhaust mount and give the exhaust a good shake, seems solid. However this deep drone is still there. My transmission, shifts smooth...

Definitely, was wondering if the double skin on the box had failed internally and was rattling around but I got under and gave them a good shake they seem solid. Then I noticed there was a metallic rattle at idle barely noticeable, climbed under and what do you know the driver side mount has...

Good afternoon Gents, I’ve just purchased yet another Benz my 7th overall (an expensive hobby) It’s a lot nicer than my previous and much more expensive E320cdi oh how I hated that V6 and 7G box, most unreliable! Anyway the latest acquisition is a late 2003 53 plate E270CDi elegance...

Hello Chaps, I was attempting to fix the small leak on my EGR Flex pipe and made it worse. Basically the top two bolts that go into the side of the housing where the EGR motor and Exhaust Pressure Sensor are have stripped the aluminium. Originally it was just one and I had a small leak, now I...

Hi Gents, Discovered the issue with my newly acquired w210 e240 is actually the TC lockup solenoid pulsing in 5th around 50-70 this raising the revs around 50-75 under partial load. Dropping down a gear it disappears. Question is this was a cheap motor I'll eventually do the conductor plate...

Just bought a cheap 1999 W210 E240 Prefacelift Elegance. I've never seen such a comprehensive history, it drives better than my 211 [emoji23] Anyway just a quick one. I've fixed the airbag light occupancy sensor wiring and the washer jets, just the rust to cut out and it's a good un. When...

When idling I can smell exhaust fumes in the cabin goes away with the recirc button and when moving. Checked the exhaust at the rear no leaks or soot deposits on the egr pipe, turbo to cat, manifold inlet pipes to turbo. It's quite choking! Changed the charcoal cabin filter and it blocked the...

Replace your pollen filter with an activated charcoal one, they remove most smells, it's likely you've got a old filter or standard paper one. Look at the right hand side of the bonnet you will find a cover held down by a 10mm but. Unbolt lift and slide out, replace filter and breathe. Sent...

I will attach photos of the job I've just done which I'm very pleased with. As most will be aware the B pillar fabric often wears due to exit and entry along with the seatbelt hitting the b pillar causing an unsightly tear in the fabric covered lower b pillar panels. I bought some black...

Hey there just got round this week to replacing the following Upper and Lower Ball Joints Drop links Thrust arms Car is so much tighter now. However as I was pressing out the right front lower ball joint I tried to remove the Speed sensor, plenty of plus gas and a screwdriver only to break...

Evening Ladies and Gentleman, I've got a 2006 Pre facelift E320cdi v6 7g I bought in March and it's been a PITA rotten brake pipes, broken rear springs, faulty turbo actuator, swirl flap issues etc etc. It's running sweet now [emoji108] However I have a knocking on rough and uneven surfaces...
