Hi What is the specification (API etc) of the oil I should be using in my 220CDi engine? 'Mobile 1' is recommended by MB but at a crazy price - £16.99 for 1Ltr at Halfords :eek::eek::eek: Thanks

My sister is looking for a Mercedes diesel coupe automatic for ~£10k. So I think the choice is MY2005: C-class couple 220CDi vs. CLK 220CDi Parker's Guide gives some basic dimensional differences, but the data is quite incomplete like weight & boot size. Performance and efficiency look...

Good Morning Ladies and Gents. I wonder if any one can help? I have an E class W210 220CDI with 128000 miles on the clock.

I drive an 03 w211 E220CDi. Recently, when pulling out to overtake on motorways I've experienced a partial loss of power, meaning I have to pull over and stop the car. While the engine keeps running, it won't rev over 2000-2500 rpm and refuses to kickdown. After I stop the car and engine and...

Hi I have a strange whistling noise coming from around the turbo/ air box area on my 220cdi (611 engine). It sounds like a police car siren in the distance. The noise is usually only noticeable when the car is cold and at lower revs. When at constant revs it cannot be heard but comes in...

Ive had my 220 for over 2 years now, and its been faultless. Its now almost 5 years old and has done 95k. Yesterday, on a 15 mile journey, I pull onto the motorway after a mile or so, put my foot down and nothing. Well, pedestrian acceleration at best. I crawl up to about 70, exit at my...

Hi folks I'm looking at the new c class and been out in the 220CDi, which was great. But after doing some research on the net i can't see the difference between the 200 and the 220. I know the 200 puts out 136BHP and the 220 170BHP, but is that purely due to the ECU? If thats the case, why...

The brakes on my 203 estate need replacing and I was wondering what the alternative is to using OEM parts? The standard brakes simply don't provide enough 'bite', very spongy and frankly past their best. I was thinking of Brembo discs, ebc greenstuff pads and braided hoses, has anyone got...

My father is looking to sell his dark blue 2001 C-class 220CDi Estate Automatic Classic. Being a Classic it is quite a basic spec car, but it does have climate control, cruise control, alloys (I don't know whether these were standard or options). It's a 1 owner car with 60k miles and FSH. There...

Hi, do you have any ideas why I should experience the following with a W203 C220CDI and what could be done to diagnose/fix it? About 40 miles on the journey from home yesterday I drove along a flat-ish road at around 50mph. The mpg was 44 and rising. After a pause at a set of lights the mpg...

As the title really! My w203 c220 cdi has been cutting out for no apparent reason - usually on cold mornings. I have owned the car since last April, it is an 03 plate with about 50,000 and a full MB history. It first did it just after I got it and then it was fine during the summer...
