Hi, I have a customer with DPF/EGR issues. He has a 2006 c220 cdi with DPF he brought it to me to check as it was in limp mode. I put my non Star machine on it and it was saying DPF below efficiency and EGR position sensor so I checked all the pipes for leaks etc and still it was coming up with...

Update An Update on my P0730 Code, I drove it home last night after posting the link from my dads house and it drove 100% no issue at all. However this morning when I drove it it was lumpy it was jerking when changing gears. I drove it back to my garage and added the remainder of the oil I had...

When they say sealed for life they don't mean it should never be changed, every oil has a replacement interval, it has to have a change interval it’s just common sense. When the car is made they put the oil in it, so let’s assume it’s the best oil in the world. As it mashes with the gears etc...

What made him think your car needed 1 litre of oil?

£30 for the oiL!!! MEANS ITS THERE FAULT BECAUSE THEY USED THE WRONG OIL!!!! TELL THEM TO SIT DOWN AND HAND THEM A SUMMONS FOR THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT! They stuck in normal ATF you need the oil from mercedes about £14/litre of which according to mercedes you need 3.5 litres so £30????

Finally a Trustworthy garage

How much does a remap cost? I know someone who needs one

I've heard once this happens it then happens again and again and again!!! I hope I never come across anything like it, most likely their will have be combustion at some point so the mess will have to be cleaned up before anyone goes any where near to taking out the injector. If it is a case...

DO NOT STEAM CLEAN YOUR ENGINE!!!!! If you have a dirty engine or has a oil leak then get a cleaner and locally clean your engine then sprinkle water on it to wash it down, then using a high pressure air line dry the engine where you have cleaned. If you are doing it for show purposes ie to...

Mercedes BMW and Audi VW all have to be weighed and aligned that's why it is expensive it takes about 3 hours to do it correctly and you will notice the difference afterwards. But instead of going to Mercedes go to anywhere where they weigh the car down and then align it by using the bolt on...

Get yourself a cheap diagnostic tool one that shows stored codes and pending codes. This will give you a pointer to where the problem is. My guess and that's all it is from what I have read in your thread is that your car has a vacuum leek somewhere. These cars have umpteen sensors all working...

Well there's a surprise!!! No one has said link a Star Machine to it!!

I’m surprised no one has said put the STAR machine on it..... LOL that’s usually the first answer on here..... The Steering system, pump, rack, rod ends, are all serviceable items and are all prone to wear and tear. The way the power steering works is the pump does as it states pumps liquid...

Hi, on the EGR Valve there is a removable plastic cover between the two bolts that fix it to the Manifold. You need to take the plastic cover off just use a thin flat head screw driver. Underneath it you will see the workings of the EGR Valve this sometimes over time gets clogged with soot use...

Here we go Again Here we go again everything is about the blasted STAR machine! Just go and pay someone with a STAR Machine to tell you what you already know! It's the biggest con ever just a money making scheme. I've yet to find a Merc Specialist with the STAR machine who will put his money...

You people are all MAD! Do you think MB just dreamed up a DPF of the EGR Valve? Do you think it’s just a bell or Whistle to add to their cars? These things took millions to design and perfect and the only reason people have issues with them is poor maintenance and upkeep. And the figures are...

Diagnostics are only part of the answer and they will never tell you what is wrong with the car, the information obtained by any diagnostic machine star or others will only tell you that the fault is in that direction. So to sum up you had a split pipe but the diagnosis was DPF and the RAC guy...

Well from the advise on here I went to an Indie Merc Garage and the so call Star machine was plugged in and with £65 spent I thought Id be wiser to the issue but once again so called experts checked prodded and poked my car for an hour only to tell me what I already know. they are asking me...

Update Rang the Mercedes Indie Garage today but weren't convinced by what I heard I've been to so called Experts Specialists before and I may have just thrown my money away! I'd Love to find the expert/specialist who is prepared to put there money where there mouth is......... I'm willing to...
