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...

I've finally got my 202 just about as perfect for me as I can. Now I want a donor car. Post Facelift. As there's three dents in my bonnet, my boot lid has been bumped off something at one point too. I don't care what colour, just good condition without much rust. Obviously Engine...

This is pretty much the one remaining problem with my 202 and it's a little bit annoying It's had the new style belt tensioner and shock fitted along with a new pulley. However, at idle particularly when the car is placed into Drive or the A/C is turned on, the tensioner will rattle. The Belt...

I recently took the door handles off my W202 for respraying purposes (don't ask) Anyway put them all back on but the passenger side now doesn't work, mistakenly I mistook the fine adjustment screw for the grub holding in the locking cylinder, it unscrewed and flapped the exterior handle about...

When I start my 98' C200 up first thing on a morning, the pedal is hard and near the floor, only after revving the engine and pumping the brake will I get a decent feel, the flexi hoses are new and there are no leaks, the master cylinder upto the max mark too. I'm guessing it's a problem with...

Quality Granville Fully Synthetic ATF-MV Automatic Transmission Fluid 5LTR | eBay Found this, allegedly it has the MB236.10 rating and also mentions NAG1. It's allegedly fully synthetic too And I've been running it with no problems for the last 10,000 miles. Might be a worthy alternative...

Whilst my C200 is off the road for some major-ish maintenance... I just wondered, sometimes when sat in traffic the temp creeps upto about 100-110c, it never gets into the red (120) and has never overheated before.... even on 30c days. Thing is when the car gets past 90c I'm anticipating for...

My 202 is off the road for the winter because to be honest at the moment it has some suspension problems, it spun at low speed or what I percieve to be low speed in the wet on a roundabout, a full 180 yet I can go around the same manoveur in a rather noisy R reg Xantia VSX at almost twice this...
