    Help! Mercedes c320cdi power loss no kickdown?

    It won't cost me anything to have a quick look and see if anything is broken, fallen off, needs a clean etc. etc. Just want to rule out anything obvious as a first step before paying out for STAR, just need someone to tell me where the thing is first please. If it's nothing obvious and the...

    Help! Mercedes c320cdi power loss no kickdown?

    I had a very similar problem this morning on my way to work, just joining the motorway and it was as if the throttle just stopped responding, slightly perturbing with a lorry bearing down behind me! There was no kickdown and the revs wouldn't go above about 2k rpm and there was no turbo. I could...

    W204 Front Shock Absorber wiring

    Thanks, it'll be the ones lower down on the strut that I'm trying to locate then as I have a fault code relating to the adaptive damping. It says there is an open circuit. The connections to the top mount look absolutely fine which made me think there must be another somewhere else that's come off

    W204 Front Shock Absorber wiring

    Does anyone know anything about the electrical connections to the front shock absorber on a W204? In the engine bay I can see that there is wiring going to the top mount but does anyone know if there are any other connections to the shock anywhere else further down that might not be visible from...

    Rear lights dim (one side)

    Resurrecting an old thread here but I have just had this same problem on my w204 (2008). Rear LHS lights, connector earth pin corroded and melted. There is a single pin used for the return current from the entire light cluster and it's not up to the job. I snipped the old wire off the...

    Boot floor pic please - C Class saloon W204

    I would have expected some sort of additional cover particularly over the battery area, it all seems a bit, well, exposed if you know what I mean. The boot floor doesnt seem to clip in place firmly either so just wondered if I was missing any parts. Bearing in mind the other random bits that...

    Coasting in D and N at Lights

    Exactly what I thought, not sure what the OP means about coasting in D. I would never go into N whilst on the move but I do use N when waiting at lights for a while etc. as I don't like holding it on the brakes for a long time. No idea what is/isn't good or bad for the engine or gearbox, it's...

    Bonnet high drivers side

    I just used wd40 and wiggled the catch until it was nice and smooth but I had to adjust the hook on the underside of the bonnet too before it would shut properly. Goodness knows how the previous owner managed to shut it, they must have really slammed it hard!

    Polish for AMG exhaust

    Had a quick go today just with Brasso and an old rag. Did both exhausts in less than 10mins. From this.... to this.... I was quite pleased with the result for just a quick job. If I'd had more time and used some wire wool then they could have been a lot better but they're good enough for me :)

    Engine Cover loose?

    Ah I see, thanks. How do I remove the cover safely so that I can see the grommets and replace them? As I said, I don't want to pull it too hard and break it...
