    Midlands Newbie

    It’s the highest mileage Mercedes I’ve owned, with the biggest and probably most complex engine. Something about them which always makes me go back though. Wish me luck!

    Midlands Newbie

    Hi, Recently purchased an E350 cdi coupe after a couple of years away from the brand. Browsed this forum multiple times in the past with niggles on my previous Mercedes, but thought it was about time to become a more active member! :) James

    Genuine Merc Gearbox Dipstick 722.6

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142385000853 I've had a bid on eBay now, so not really fair to cancel the listing. You might get it for less. Cheers James

    Genuine Merc Gearbox Dipstick 722.6

    I've got a genuine Merc Gearbox Dipstick that I don't need anymore as I've sold the car. I used it on my 2006 CLK 220 cdi sport, should work with any 722.6 Gearbox I think but check the part number. It's W140589152100. After £15 + p&p or collection from West Bromwich Thanks James

    W210 worth it?

    I've had two W210 220cdi's. One on 340,000 miles. Did 5k in it without spending a penny. A friend then had it and put 10k on it with just a set of brake pads and a service. The second had 180,000 miles and just needed a water pump. Good cars from my experience and both drove better than my...

    Strange 220 CDI Gearbox Issue

    Hi everyone, I've got an annoying problem with the gearbox on my 06 CLK 220 CDI sport. Second gear in particular. In the morning when the engine / gearbox is cold, whilst driving out of the estate I live on, the gearbox changes into second smoothly, but whilst in second the revs will get...

    Poor Fuel Economy 2004 C220 CDI Avantgarde

    Your MPG sounds very similar to mine - a 2006 C220 cdi estate (manual), I previously had a W210 E220 cdi and that gave fantastic MPG figures on the trip computer ~ 57MPG on the motorway and 35+ around town. I do not feel that I am putting any more fuel in the C class, I take the read out's with...

    Genuine MB thermostat inferior parts

    As said above, using the old bolt taps it's own thread. I do agree that it shouldn't come like that though.

    W203 Facelift 220cdi Rattle

    Unfortunately not. 4000 miles on and it still drives perfectly and hasn't got any worse..

    W203 Facelift 220cdi Rattle

    Quite possibly. The car has done 154,000 miles now so it wouldn't surprise me. It's probably my paranoia as much as anything. I drove back from Wales this afternoon and unless I muted the stereo and pointed it out you'd never know it was there.

    W203 Facelift 220cdi Rattle

    I think it's a dash rattle. Windows down and rev it - no noise. Stick my head by the engine and rev it - no noise. It's only apparent with the windows up and radio off.

    W203 Facelift 220cdi Rattle

    I'll try that now. I'll also try and rev it and let it drop down with the clutch dipped whilst driving when the box has warmed up.

    W203 Facelift 220cdi Rattle

    I have a 2006 w203 c220cdi 6 speed manual which I purchased about 3 months ago from a local independent dealership. Last night whilst my girlfriend was driving I noticed a strange noise which I hadn't heard before. As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator and the revs begin...
