Hi, has anyone had any experience of damaged head bolts on a 124? Local garage could not remove the head to replace gasket, due to the bolts being damaged. They managed to get one out, and advised against drilling the others due to the time/cost involved.
Ive got a E320 CDI which Ive changed a number of suspension components on recently:
Brabus 35mm drop springs (running 4nib pads on the front and 3nib on the rear)
New lower arms
New ball joints
Bilstein B6 shocks.
The car is fitted with AMG II 18" wheels:
8" front running 245 40 18
9"...
I have recently aquired a set of 17" AMG replica monoblock alloys, however, the current alloy wheels bolts I have are too short?
I reckon I need ones with a 60mm shank. Is there a specific name for these or a specific car they came on? And does anyone have any available?
Thanks
Ed
I need to get some locking wheel bolts for the 18" AMG's on my SL320, any ideas which will be the best type to go for it'll be good if they fitted the original 8 hole alloys too ! Anyone know if the tapers are the same for both types of wheel ?
Cheers :)
In 2008, when the car was two years old and still under warranty, the wheel bolts became very rusty. When I changed the tyres, I also realised that the hubs had copious amount of rust on them.
I took the car to the MB dealer, they said that this was only surface rust and as such a non-issue. I...
Has any one got any idea how to remove the bolts from the thermostat housing because the heads are gone. I could drill the heads of but i am concerned that i may not be able to grip the screws with the vice grip. I guess they will unscrew once the pressure is off, but are they the type with...
My wheel bolts ping when on full lock left or right, never had it before and im quite puzzled. Its in the dealer so i will update what it is and if it can be solved - anyone had the pings ?
Hi
I need a full set of wheel bolts. Mercedes want approx £50 for a full set.
Online non-genuine bolts look just as good for half that.
Whats the general opinion - are non genuine bolts just as good?
Any recommended, reasonable priced suppliers?
thanks

Hi All,
about to take a trip to Ireland in my 2003 320CDI. Decided to check spare wheel today just in case. Currently have 18" alloys fitted with a 17" steel spare. I have read various comments about needing shorter bolts to fit the steel spare. Then again I have also read that shorter...
1.) Hi, I need to know what the torque specifications are on a 2000 model ML 270 CDI.
2.) Do I need to torque them only once, or again after +/- 1000Km driving as is the case with certain other vehicles?
3.) Can I use the same head bolts or should they be replaced with new head bolts?
Went to get new tyres today and the fitter told me that 2 of the bolts on on one of the wheels wouldn't tighten as they'd been stripped, probably by a previous fitter with an over zealous air gun. He says the bolts are made of a softer metal than the wheel hub so that they strip before the...
I currently have the 17" sador wheels on my W210, and after test fitting the SL55 turbine wheels, discovered the bolts are too long for the AMG wheels, what bolts do I need?
Also, 18x9.5 et33 - that should fit fine shouldn't it?
Two sets of long locking wheel bolts, with key. Genuine M-B part, # B 664 08 238 Unused in original packaging.
Overall length 83mm
Thread length 20mm
Threaded end to shoulder of collar 40mm
Diameter 12mm
Chromed ends
Please refer to the photo to see if they are what you need to avoid...
After having my wheels refurbed I need 16 new bolts to tidy things up.I was going to pop into my main dealer for a price but does anyone know a cheap place online?
Thanks Marty
Hi Everyone,
I've just bought an old (1989) 230TE, and want to fit the 6.5J X 15 ET 44 alloys from my 1995 CE220 Cab in place of the standard steel rims. Problem is I don't know what bolts I need to replace the ones fitted. Can anyone help??
Many thanks in advance.
Eddie
