blocked

i posted a week ago about blocked fuel strainers on various fourums. the general concensus was that it couldnt be that bad. i was convinced it was blocked due to the fuel pressure fluctuating dependednt on how much fuel was in it, and the slow speed of discharge when i drained the tank to fit...

Hi, I have a problem: a few weeks ago my CLK200 '98 manual cut out and wouldn't start again. 30 minutes later it starts no problem. I can drive around 10 miles then it cuts out again and I have to wait around 30 minutes before the car starts. MB garage said: that's the petrol pump. So I...

Hope you're not eating! Drains are blocked again, has happened twice in the last year which I unblocked easily with rods. Over the last week the familiar symptoms showed so I got the rods out this morning, Removed the cover and the hole was pretty full and Friday night's curry in evidence...

When i revv my car it sounds a bit droany and when the turbo spools down it sounds like an asthematic. It also smokes more and there seems to be a noticable drop it power. I had this turbo noise problem before and changed the oil breather and everything was fine. It's been 20k miles now...

I have had some issues with water ingress into the boot of my SL500 which I seem to have cleared by unblocking the roof drain holes built into the seal. I still have an issue with the drain hole in the fuel filler area. The water just collects here and will not drain. I tried sticking a thinner...

Following on from other threads about blocked access my problem is with weekend parking blocking the access road to the rear of our property. The road initially leads up to a small dental unit then makes a right turn to the rear of our houses. Often there is a car parked outside the gates to...

Whenever I try to use tags to insert an embedded video I get a privacy report (IE 7 under XP Pro, fully patched) saying a cookie has been blocked ... and it doesn't work. However under IE7 Properties, Privacy, Sites ... I've got "always allow" set for cookies from YouTube.com :confused: I...

Hi all, one of the jets appears blocked, other 3 squirt fine. As they are heated, i always use MB cleaner to prevent this. I attempted to remove inlet grill by removing the only 3 Torx screws i can see but, the grill still seems solid. Searched forum but no joy for a W203. Any ideas anyone...

Not sure if anyone can help with this. I have a 270 W209 which has been a bit noisy lately as the turbo cuts in (although to be fair the performance is not badly effected.) The last week or so the car also drops into limp home mode occasionally which clears if I restart. It sounds like some...

Hi all Firstly, Merry Christmas to everyone! My 2001 E200 Kompressor has developed a problem where by the driver's side winscreen washer jet is blocked and no water can pass through it. I have had a look on the detali.ru website for the diagram but I can't seem to remove the washer jet...

Further to yesterday's query about these tubes - I've sorted it. Thanks for the comments - and yes, I have waterproofed the pump. And I check the drains for blockages regularly. So, for anyone else who might need the info, this is what I did. The ends of these drains (there are two on the...

Hi. I've searched for an answer to this and can't find anything. Apologies if I've missed it, but... I've seen references both here and on other forums to keeping the various drain tubes clear on SLKs - especially the ones on the boot lips so that water doesn't get into the boot and ruin...

Whilst washing the car today I notice that air-inlet vent on the bonnet was collecting water (on the passenger side). It looks like it is blocked, but the driver's side is okay. Any one knows how to unblock the passenger's side (or does it drain off the driver's side on the W210 facelift)?

Trust the washer system to block at this time of year, plenty of salt on the roads eh! The jets seem clear of blockages, but water is escaping from behind the jets. I noticed lots of gunk floating in the washer bottle last time I refilled it. I don't use any additives just tap water, on...

They've recently introduced some kind of URL filter which blocks the MBClub website where I'm currently working. Anybody know of any sneaky tricks to get round this, especially as I'm now an MB owner...... Thanks in advance....

Hi all I have a problem as I think the jets are blocked, but the screen wash can be smelt though the vents. I see that is pouring onto the plastic moulding but not coming through the jets. Have the pipes come loose or are the jets blocked? Thanks for any answers? Regards Ian
