    W208 wont turn or start, key issues?

    You may want to check the battery. If it's gone bad, the ecu doesn't like it and refuses to accept the key. I had a friend of mine a couple a years ago that almost replaced ignition module, his 03 CLK needed the key to be cycled like 20 times before it would recognize it. The battery seemed...

    CLK230K Running problems

    Have that MAF checked before throwing parts at it. Live data and a simple multimeter should do the trick

    Timing an M113

    Before getting into time consuming stripping just by guessing, I would have someone to scope it and have a sync-ed relative compression test to see where the spark occurs in relation to TDC

    Whining AC compressor W203 C320

    You can replace the pulley but I think the compressor should be taken off the car before you can do that. Any chain garage that charges A/C systems could empty yours for a few quid anyway. I would still double check the source of the noise, it can be very misleading. Try spraying some water on...

    Glow plug relay. Which one

    Check them all with a simple test light. They are very low resistance internally, going with the test light to the battery+ and then touching the tip of the glowplug your test light should light, otherwise bad plug

    230E on 3 cylinders

    You can, however identify the bad one by doing a power balance test. disconnect them one at a time and you will feel the one not contributing. Then you check the if you get spark using the same rig as above. If you do get spark, my money is on the plug. Good luck

    230E on 3 cylinders

    Take a long screwdriver and a jump lead, attach one end to the screwdriver the other to a good ground ( not the battery terminal ) then start the car and move the tip of the screwdriver along the wires and on the distributor cap. The spark will find it's way to the ground in the arcing spot...

    W203 C Class Loss of power

    Indeed live data and fuel trims will tell more about the issue/s. In some cases disconnecting the Maf would make the engine run better if sensor is dirty/faulty.

    Intermittment non start

    I would check the starter relay. They have a limited lifespan and before giving up for good can cause this intermittent issue. Had the same problem with my fuel pump relay recently. It came to the point where it fed the fuel pump after 20 key on/off cycles.

    c220cdi estate 2003 new buy !

    Hi and welcome. As far as I know, the auto trans oil change must be done once in a lifetime around 40k. Anyway, if you decide to do it for your peace of mind, make sure they don't only change the oil but they wash your transmission. If you want to avoid the dealear, find someone specialized on...
