2nd

Three days into owning an ML270 CDi and it has now decided that it only wants to let me use 2nd and reverse gears. I’ve seen this mentioned in various threads across MB forums, but never with a definitive fix listed. The symptoms were that the gear change got progressively clunkier, then...

Hi there, I have a problem with a 2004 c320. 6 months ago I had a problem with the conductor plate which I had changed, the problem has reappeared but with no fault light on dash. I put my obd reader with the torque app on the car and there was only 1 fault code logged which was P0778 which is...

Hi everyone, Another little niggle for which I hope your collective wisdom will have an answer: When cold, the gearbox in my 600 has started flaring on the 2/3 shift. By flaring, I mean that instead of revs tracking as follows: 0-2500/shift point-1000 I witness 0-2500/shift...

Getting torqueflow to remove 2nd cats and resonator and fit an xpipe in a few weeks. But does anyone know how loud it will be inside the car at motorway 80mph speeds? I have a kid and was a bit concerned. Does the estate mean it will be louder than a saloon with this mod? Regards.

Okay, this is the scenario. I have bought from a friend a Golf Plus and in turn he has bought a new Golf Match, the chronography goes like this; He delivered the Plus to my home yesterday, Thursday, on his insurance and his tax and the car is now parked on my drive off the highway and the...

As the title suggests. When I get back from work in a week or 2, I will be removing the the mid section and gutting the internals of the secondary cats. Its just a shot in the dark if anyone with this work done already is around me I would appreciate a meet to make sure its not 'too loud'...

I know this has been done to death on other forums and the problem is common but has anyone actually managed to get a fix? Does the whole eurocharged gearbox upgrade sort the issue? If not a complete fix then perhaps 50% better, I understand via the net that the sprinter booster helps reduce...
