Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a 2002 C220CDI W203 automatic with 67K miles on the clock. It seems very sluggish in comparison to my friends same car.

I am hoping someone can settle a minor disagreement. Recently a friend and I were setting off in his C220CDI. After turning on the ignition part way, he waited 5 seconds or so before turning the key fully and starting the car. I asked him why was he waiting. He said he was waiting for the...

Caught up with an old friend at the week-end as he turned up in his new Mondeo Tdci, asked him what happened to the C220cdi estate? (new only this year) He was totally disappointed with the fuel economy, could only get a max 40 mpg on a run, often less, so that combined with total dismay at...

One of the injector seals has failed. Other posts suggest a copper washer may have failed. The area is covered in brittle tar. I have cleaned this off exposing the allen screw and slackened off. How do you remove the injector? It seems well and truly stuck.
