    W124 300te 4matic steering squeal

    Folks My 124 steering is making a squeal from the N/S front when you turn the steering right from center. It sounds like a bush. The noise is coming from behind the wheel at the wheel (if that makes sense) Any likely suspects before I start getting under the car. Oh it is worse when wet/damp...

    W124 Estate - 300te Question

    Folks Should my 124 Estate have an engine undertray? It currently does not. So when it rains (Unusual for this country) and largish puddles cause the power steering belt to slip. This can lead to some butt clenching moments on windy country lanes. The belt is good (recently replaced) and...

    300Te 4matic Estate Rear Belts

    Help My rear set belt buckles refuse to lock/latch on occasions. No amount of fiddling will get the push-in part, to lock in, or even give a click as if it was going to lock in. Tried everything: Clean / blow latch mech out. WD40 turning belt over etc. Crazy thing is they will work for...

    With new diz cap and rotor all was fine....Then it just stopped and now just churns without trying at all. A.A. (oh the shame!) came, sparking fine but no fuel getting through, his opinion was that it was more than likely the fuel relay. OK so can anybody tell me where this relay is situated...

    Eek. This started today. When going up hill or accelerating from a standstill (so putting a bit of load on the car) I can hear a distinctive whine. It sounds a bit like belt whine. It will only do it under load. As soon as I lift of the pedal the noise stops dead. It does sound sort of...

    300te rear condensation

    Folks the rear screen in my 300te takes an age to de-mist. The de-mister is working as you see the lines appear as it starts to heat. Any tips to stop or reduce condensation or to speed up the de-mist. There are no holes in the car and all window seals are good.
