did you read the thread??! lol1: here's a clue: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/1953652-post2.html :wallbash::thumb::D:D:D:D:D:D FWIW - it's one of these things you'd buy and use once.. it's best to buy it (can't remember how much I paid for mine now) and then sell it straight after...

sold!!

For sale is a GENUINE Mercedes Benz tool set (part number: W202 589 00 43 00) for removing and replacing the wheel carrier bushing at the rear wheel carrier assembly (where all the links attach). This is in pretty much as new condition as it's only been used once to change the bushes on the...

:thumb: thought your name looked familiar!! :) Glad I managed to help!! :) We got rid of our BMW's (Z3 and E36 3 Series Compact) in favour of more family friendly transportation due to the arrival of my son (I went for an Audi A3 1.8T Sport and the wife went for a Merc C200K Avantgarde SE)...

I did: JOURNAL: 1998 BMW Z3 2.8 Roadster :thumb: Have done Tony and replied! :)

the official mercedes benz one was only £84.76.. which I thought was pretty reasonable.. I had read threads on various forums saying it was around £200 or £250!! not sure if this was based on fact or guestimation.. either way - once mine are done I'll be selling it on eBay to recover some of the...

given there was no replies on here.. I ended up finding out myself when I ordered the tool yesterday! - so to help anyone else in future! - the part number for the tool is: w202 589 00 43 00. :)

do you have a link to the video or a part number for the tool required??

UPDATE 3: Just had a call from the dealers with an update so thought I would post here for completeness in case anyone else has similar issues in future. The car is now sorted and "running better than ever" apparantly (yet to see it or test it for myself). Today they replaced the fuel pump...

still not heard anything from the dealers... not looking good so far :(

I'm an active member of several forums and fairly aware of the main issues with the other marques I've owned/own.. I even have money put aside for work needed/maintenance on cars - but c£1800 (and counting) in two months is beyond a joke - especially when one of the parts was the EIS - a part...

I'm not sure what your point is? - I've owned 'prestigious' brands in the past - my last 2 cars were BMW's and they were far more reliable and cheaper to maintain - I've never owned a vauxhall?? and have never scrimped or bodged jobs on cars. I guess they have better QC and not just focused on...

another update - dealer just called.. they've now replaced the boost hoses and cleared the faults. The car is now "a little better" but not right - so they ran more diagnostics and have now said the car needs a new fuel pump and fuel filter (running total so far: £1,097.59)....

yep!.. :wallbash: Still - lesson learnt I guess... I think I'll get it sorted and move it on and get something more reliable and less costly to fix when things do go wrong (which won't be another MB!!) more likely be another BMW or Audi - both of which are companies that stand by their...

Merc dealer :(

UPDATE: The dealers just called to advise that they've hooked the car up to STAR and run the diagnostics and the only fault/error codes it's coming back with are relating to boost pressure. Apparantly they've identified several pipes with splits/cracks in them which is allowing unmetered air...

sorry - not sure why I was confused!! - just checked and the engine code is M271

thanks for the reply - it's a 2003 (W203) and 1.8 compressor (M271)

I'm a bit disappointed and surprised with the lack of response or any comments in this thread. I'm a member of several car forums and never not had a response to a question before. I know it is hard to diagnose problems over the internet - but the fact no one has even taken the time to...
