I replaced the battery in my w202 about a year back with a smaller sized one. It provides the correct amps etc but is physically smaller. However I have failed my MOT as the battery is not secure as the tray is too big for it. Is there anything I can buy that will fill and secure it?

Thanks!

VIN is: WDB2020202F652621 Thanks

I have a 1997 w202 c200 facelift. Do I have a 722.5 or a 722.6 gearbox? I ask as I have no gearbox dipstick and I want to buy one to check the level of the gearbox oil.

Yeah it could be holding onto the gear rather than reducing the power. It seems to refuse to accelerate rather than drop from a cruising speed. But I know how the car feels on the gear changes when it's cold. This is different and is quite brief and noticeable.

I have a c200 W202 (petrol) that seems to refuse to accelerate for about 3-4 seconds every morning after starting from cold. It always happens about 2 minutes after leaving the house. Very weird. Power just drops away and I slow down before it comes back. ECU/gearbox problem? Edit: could low...

Yep i actually put some wd40 on it initially but it only lasted a day before it went back to squeaking.

Thanks. Easy enough to change?

Sorry, passenger side I meant.

drivers side. It's driving me nuts at squeaks every time I go over a speed bump:

I've noticed when cruising there's a low "whrrrrrr", sounds like it's coming from up front. At lower speeds it sounds repetitive in that its "wuh, wuh, wuh, wuh" and speeds up with the speed of the car. Very weird. Sounds exactly like a rubbing disc. But I changed both front discs and pads...

Pulled out the alloy panel and the TCU. There was a light film of oil on the wires and very small amount on the connector put nothing major. Took out the PCB and it looks completely dry so dodged a bullet I think. Gonna get the seal done now to reduce the risk of damage to the TCU.

I think he means the bushing is ****ed but I reckon I should take out the footwell plate and dry off the TCU if possible and get the bush replaced. The water ingress might have been a fortunate occurrence to help me discover this other (more serious) problem.

Gearbox oil yeah? Now that you mention it, it seem to be around the loom along the passenger side footwell when I opened it up dry it. It was quite oily? Can you give more details, how does it get drawn up the loom? What do you mean the seal is "u/s"?

Nice one thanks. Did you have the water in the sound-proofing too? It's really weird that it seems to get oily now that it's wet. I can't imagine I'll get it 100% dry for a while. Hopefully it won't cause any rust problems!

I posted previously in another thread where the passenger footwell of my car had become flooded after a car wash. That's resolved now. I got the carpet out and it's drying away. However I can't remove some of the sound-proofing material around the very bottom of the footwell in up against...

No how do I get to that?

Nice one guys. Cleaned a TON of leaves out of there and all seems well now.

Just brought the car for a wash. One of those ones that sprays water and wax and a huge hair-dryer when it's all done. Anyway, sparkly car at the end of it but there must have been a few litres of water in the footwell on the passenger side when it was done. I could see it dripping down from...

Thanks. It looks like I have the HFM system as it has a MAF (I think!).
