Keep it, look forward to using it and look after it. Can't count the times I've moved on my daily driver which I've kept mint to the benefit of others who want a practical classic, the last one was a black 2000 Audi A4 Quattro Turbo Sport, 138k part ex'd it for a W211 e320 CDI Sport, 3 year...

The top ball joints also cause rattles, as do both bottom ball joints, so there are 6 in total across both sides. Also just because they are new doesn't mean the replacement quality is up to the job, I saw bottom ball joints for as little as £11 online, these are the pressed in one's and not...

Auto-mobile you were 100% correct, the castor arm it was, the ball joint was worn, got a Lemforder replacement from ECP is now fitted and no noises at all! ECP supplied the wrong part at first, had to put the old one back in to return to ECP and collect the right part. On inspection of the worn...

Cheers Alps, I had the pads out to change the bearing and they were new last year too. A ramp is the one thing I don't have! Will get it up the air somehow with a crowbar. thanks v much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay Auto-mobile as you say I'll take a look at the castor then as the ball joint I replaced last year because of play in the lower arm. The wheel bearing isn't a biggy, grease was dry in the hub anyway and very black on the inner most bearing, thanks v much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay great, will investigate that and replace with it being that easy, thanks v much Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Oh right, I'd better look at that then. When you say driving on rough road mine rattles over the slightest imperfection in the road surface and is does make any noise over large bumps, sleeping policemen etc. Under breaking also no noise. They'll be original units without doubt. I drove over...

Hi all Got the above which has appeared over recent weeks on the off side/driver's side. 118k miles on the E320 CDI 2006 V6. I've replaced before this both top and bottom ball joints on both front sides (last year with Lemforder units). Thought it was the wheel bearing as all other bits seem...

Yesterday with the car warm, I had to join a carriageway with some power and kangarooing came in at 2500 revs, scanned for codes this morning and I've a pending P0244 code, car went into limp and had to pull over stop and start to get normal drive back. Fine for the next 1:30 of motorway...

Bought the GSE114 in the end off eBay from Poland for £97, made by Beru again, physically looks the same as the Merc Beru equivalent. All fitted and codes cleared down on the car. Will check again in a few days to ensure code doesn't return. Sent from my iPad using MBClub UK

A fix for £80 means as a fix there is likely to be no replacement parts used and is very much likely to be a 1/2 hour to an hour manual task to rectify. Bearing in mind the postage also. The one question I have is - is the unit you posted exactly the same unit you've had returned? Then the...

Hi all Glow plug control module common problem of a failed unit, looking to replaced it and would like advise as to whether the Merc replacement part should be chosen or go for another BERU unit that is cheaper but modified significantly from the original failed unit. Both units physically look...

Over a week since I've swapped the O2 sensor and what a difference, slick, sweet running and much leaner fuel air mixture ratio, much much less soot out the exhausts and never had 47mpg out of it at 75mph for 100 miles back from Birmingham last week. If you've late 30's mpg then check your...

Timster, check out Right Connections online, they for my car were the cheapest for the fully integrated wiring kit by far. Clips into the existing relay/fuse panel at the rear of the car and works perfect. <UIImage: 0x807ebf0> size {1, 44} orientation 0 scale 2.000000

Yep, great thanks for confirming. All sorted - swapped it out with a new one, code cleared. Will check for codes in a day or so just to be sure. Just the glow plug control module now and hopefully back to full health. Cheers <UIImage: 0x807ebf0> size {1, 44} orientation 0 scale 2.000000

Hi all Under the car now and I can find only one O2 sensor on the car, is this correct? I found the downstream one at the bottom of the CAT, upstream ones can't feel or see any. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Sent from my iPad using MBClub UK

You can't miss the actuator, located just in front of the turbo and to the left side. Mine has Hella stamped on it and under the left side a sticker with Honeywell on it. Anyway I lubed up the upper and lower rod joints with the Teflon oil as temperatures are pretty high around this area, will...

Yeah, was hoping to stay away from the turbo understandably, and saw a few comments against the actuator, will lube up the actuator rod then with some dry Teflon oil, after I'll read the codes and speak to Mercedes. Could be coincidence timing wise also. Will report back when I get to the...

Hi all Looking for some help with my engine/gearbox that has only appeared since have Mercedes replace the gearbox fluid as part of the service B service. Engine/gearbox worked perfectly prior to the ATF fluid replacement. Twice in two months I've tried to take off quicker than normal, not...

Yep an Alko tow hitch, so made sure the paint was removed and no greases existed on the new tow bar ball. Towed the caravan and all the mechanicals and electrical system worked perfectly. Sent from my iPad using MBClub UK
