Had the same thing about two months ago, they are safe to drive with the core out. What part is spinning?If the hex is spinning, don't get too drastic with it, just percevere with plus gas/wd40 down the bore around the plug and after a little while you will be able to persuade it out with a...

Just another angle for you, mine has been doing something similar so I spoke to my transmission guy and after a quick test drive, he suggested the gearbox speed sensor. Said that if that is gone the gearbox does all kinds of strange things.

Thanks for the reply, I've heard that it could be the alternator belt a few times before but nobody explained it as clearly as that before, makes perfect sense and matches the way the alternator pulley that's on there is working. Oh and the belt didn't "snap" (though that's what I said), it...

hi, Looking for a little advice on my 2002 C220 CDI COUPE; A few weeks ago my revs dropped a little, didn't think much of it as it was cold weather - ended up the belt snapped. Fitted a new belt and noticed it was flapping around a bit when the engine was running so i changed the tensioner...

Mine came on and has stayed on since about a day after I bought it last year. has never caused any problems (that I know of!) so i've just left it.

Reset drivers side window, all works fine now:thumb: Passenger side still not working at all, it just ignored the reset process! And now the sunroof isn't working now either!!! :wallbash: Neither passenger window or sunroof give me anything more than a 'click'. The sunroof worked ok before...

Good call, thanks. :thumb: Another post on here talks about the reset process so i'll give that a go. Thinking about it, the passenger window started acting up after i gave a buddy a jump start, so power drain from the battery seems to be a common issue. thanks

I know i'm late here, but where is the regulator!?? From the last post on this topic, this seems to be my problem. Where is the regulator? can it be repaired? HOW MUCH IS A NEW ONE!!?? thanks

Sweet!! Just had my gearbox changed and the only clue that the battery was disconnected during the work was the clock half an hour early. Proves searching this forum does yield awesome info!

Hi, me again! :doh: My passenger side window is not working (C220 Coupe!). When i push the button i can hear a 'click' in the door, but the window doesn't move, at first i thought 'fuse' but since i'm getting the click i gather power is going to the motor. Are these things prone to getting...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and new to Mercs too! I bought my 2002 C220 CDI Auto in June last year. Since i have had it, the car has been brilliant, until i blew the gearbox on Friday!! :doh: Thats now fixed, new box and torque converter (£995.95 later!).. But this has left me thinking now, when...

Yeah mine only got 84k with full service history. Didn't think i'd be changing the gearbox this soon!! Sounds too familiar though. I had a BMW with a problem that sounds like yours too, ended up a diff oil change sorted that.

If exhaust smoke is crappy, could br EGR. I'd run some injector cleaner through it first for a cheap diagnosis of those. Glow plugs?

Get it to a transmission shop ASAP!! Had the same thing for a few weeks, then started to 'grind' friday. Took it to my buddy's transmission shop on saturday and the report i got was dire! He said the transmission oil was black and 'chunks of metal fell out the gearbox'. So after having a...

Yeah sounds like belt for sure, they should hear it when you take it in for a service, but tell them to check the belt anyway just to be sure they don't miss it. It should be fine till the weekend, but don't leave it too long cos worst case the belt could snap if its badly degraded and you'll...

Same issue with mine, thought it might be a return spring tension on the pedal or something. I'd be interested in the fix too please!!

If it is belt squeal then its no biggie, it can wait. Just sounds annoying! Normally the belt is under most tension when you're turning the wheels then relaxes when you stop turning, so it will squeal during turning and then shut up when you've stopped turning. Does this sound like the problem...

Could be a loose belt on the power steering pump? Service should sort that out by retentioning the belt or changing it if its no good.

Thats a piece of your spring pal, i had the same on my last car. It stayed in there for ages till i got p*ssed off with the rattling and went to look for the noise. Should be ok till an MOT guy spots it, sure FAIL! I passed 2 MOTs before they spotted it!!

2002. How much am I gonna gain from it? BHP lbs/ft ? Is your one for sale new/used? how old? how much? etc
