bolt

Just changed the transmission oil on my 1998 W202. This is the 5 speed automatic (722.6) sealed for life. At 187,000 the oil was very dirty with a green tint (but did not smelt burnt to me) - could it be that MB used a green dye on this oil? The replacement oil from dealer was red. Anyway I...

how's that ?

I have a 1999 E300 TD Elegance - I had a problem a short while ago when one of the wheel bolts holding my N/S front wheel on snapped when it was being removed. To cut a long story short the wheel had to be cut off and replaced, according to the garage (local not MB) this is a known problem and...

Hello Had a puncture yesterday. Whilst opening the bolts, I slipped the locking wheel bolt and broke it. Its an oem Merc type. Spoke to Mercedes, and they think the code for the nut is in the service booklet. Had a check, and of course it aint! Any ideas where I can find out, and...

Today I drove round and noticed the car was starting to shudder everytime I pressed the accelerator. After a few miles I turned a corner and heard a loud 'ting ting' looked in the mirror only to find this lying in the road, still very warm: Now it can managed about 30Mph max :(...

I purchased a new set of 17" Alloy Wheels for my W124 Coupe. The new bolts that came with the alloys were shorter than the ones that were on the OEM 15". In my eagerness to get the new wheels on I used 4 of the new bolts, but used my original (longer) locking bolt. On moving the car there was...

Hi Guys, I picked up my AMG Monoblock Replicas last night. Had them balanced today and stoped at the stealers this morning to buy some new ceter caps. I have just realised I need new bolts too, so I called the stealers and said I have a W202 and they said erm... yea we have them. They...

I prepared to change my front lhs wheel bearing today and all was going great - until I tried to undo the two 17mm bolts holding the brake caliper to the steering knuckle thingy! This needs to come off to remove the disc. Tight? oh yes. They are supposed to be tightened to 85 lb ft so its not...

Can anyone tell me the size of the female torx socket I need to remove my front seats on a '99 C250TD please? I want to order one and it seems most 'sets' come in a small or large size, and I think the move from small to large is around the half inch mark, so I could do with someone telling...

In my related thread I noted that I have bought some new alloys, but the bolts supplied with them are too long, or appear to be. The problem is that they are about 5 to 6mm too long and the threads in the hubs don't allow the bolts to go right through. I can't see why, as my quick look...
