I just realised i might have made a wrong order.
I acquired some days ago a Brabus D6 chip for my CLS 320cdi,and thought of renewing engine and transmission fluids and filters together with the D6 installation.
So i ordered 10lt of "Castrol Edge fst turbo diesel 5w40" oil for the engine and...
Last night , I had just got my son down to bed when the phone rang .
SWMBO was on the other end , and in-between the tears I managed to determine she had just been in a crash . About all she could tell me was that she was outside the BP petrol station in the nearby village . Fearing the worst...

Basically M-B spotted a manufacturing defect with the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) fitted to the OM642 3.0 V6 CDI diesel engine between approx. January 2006 and December...
My 320 CDI has developed a smell not unlike a catalytic converter bad egg whiff, generally after a longish run. Seems like it comes through the air vents because if I switch the climate control off it goes away. And no I've not eaten sprout and egg curry!
I suspect diesel is hitting the cat...
Hi,
I viewed this car which I liked:
Mercedes-Benz E Class 3.0CDI E320 CDI Avantgarde 4dr 7G-Tronic
Not without problems though of which the most serious is oily dust deposits all over the front part of the engine. Even the V-belt is in oil. The oily residue is oil and dust rather than just...
Hello you all,
there is something bothering me lately... everytime I fill up my tank in a dealer nearby, that has great fuel prices, in which diesel fuel has a 7% biodiesel percentage in its composition, my W203 Station loses power at low rev, below 2000rpm...

Sun came out in Warrington today, so out came the pela oil pump.
Old oil out filter off new filter on and fresh Mobil 1 in took just under the hour. When I think what I did in the old days:eek: on my back covered in oil then cleaning it off the path.
Thank god for oil extractors. :D

Hello
After reading many positive reviews online about the Wurth German Silver Alloy Wheel paint products I ordered some. However I am finding the paint to be terrible.
The paint doesn't cover evenly at all and there is filament like strands of stringy bits coming out of the can. The...
Hi Guys,
My first post on here, just trying to get some insight from someone in the know.
I have a 2005 C-Class C220 CDI Coupe (W203). Car runs great and its a pleasure to drive (especially over longer distances) but I've had tons of minor issues with it over the last month or two (perhaps...
Hi All
I have a 2005 220CDI auto and the last couple of days the gear change is far from as smooth as it used to be.
Sometimes it feels as though it struggles to get from 2nd to 3rd and then jumps into gear instead of a smooth change.
Any ideas as to what the problem could be.
Thanks
Norman
I recently had the 'other' coil pack replaced before which the exhaust was definitely popping too much and even backfired a couple of times.
However, although greatly reduced now, as I take my foot off the gas, the exhaust still pops quite a bit.
Now personally, I think it sounds quite cool...
Just back from two weeks away working, jumped in the car and was turning into a tight concealed entrance at a garage forecourt and heard a little bang, closely followed by a car passing me, as I'd braked sharply mid-entrance because suddenly a car appeared trying to exit I thought at first it...

However this means a new windscreen will be fitted next week in time for the17th :)
