c250td

Hello there, I've just bought a '98 C250TD Sport Auto Estate, i've had it go into limp mode a couple of times now after motorway journeys using cruise control. (50 miles) Quick engine on/off revives it. Any ideas as to what it could be? Using the search mode points to MAP sensor and EGR...

Hi, I just got my 97 C250TD back after 2 weeks in the garage after having the turbo, exhaust manifold seals and main engine rocker gasket seal replaced in a number of attempts to stop the engine consuming oil at a rate of 1.5 litres every 300 miles. The exhaust smoke is clear at low revs but...

Hi. Popped into Tony Purslow in Basingstoke yesterday and had my 10 year old C250TD regassed as the aircon was not working. After the work was completed, I got a very nice story about it all being done. Then a small frown appears on the service technician's face, and it's followed by a 'but...

I'm a knats knacker away from treating myself to diesel merc. Actually wanted a classic W123 estate but struggling to find a good one. So I'm now looking at W124 300TD or even D, or the W202 (I think it is) 250TD. The W202 seems a lot more modern with all the bells and whistles but the W124...

My better half has looked at a C250 TD Estate 99T 130K. she said it drove ok but pulled to left slightly as its a bit rusty she can have it for £1300 seems like a decent price I thought so I rang him up to sort it out. I asked him about it and hes had it 3 years used it for towing and its had...

My 1999 C250TD has developed the common problem of air ingress of the fuel lines. I have changed all of the 'o' rings, including all of the fuel lines. I have also replaced the Pre-filter 'o' ring and the IP and heat exchanger. I contacted http://www.mercedes-benz-parts.co.uk/ for advice on...

Mornign all, My 97 c250 td will only select 1st when put into D (acompanied by a jerk), you can get reverse and neutral but in D it just goes to the red line and wont change up even if you try manually moving it. I have a new filter, oil and gasket coming this afternoon so I will be installing...

What mpg or better how much littres per 100km you have before and after ?

Hi all, 1999 C250TD estate. Battery slowly loses charge. As the cold weather started I assumed the battery was at fault and replaced it. The problem continues. A multimeter shows a 0.4amp current via fuse #30 with everything switched off. According to the list in the fusebox cover fuse#30...

Hi My wife has finally let it be known she has always wanted an MB to which i have to say i am pleased as i will do anything to get rid of her Renault Scenic :o . I'm looking at C and E class estates from 1998 to 2000, diesel and automatic. Have seen a nice C250TD Sport with full MB history...

As it says really, I would like to know what the real world mpg is for this car with and auto box fitted. Also what are they like to drive? the one I'm looking at is a 1998 model estate. Simon

Hi i hope someone can solve my problems basically after i have been for a drive (anything over 50 miles) there is oil on the drivers side edge of the bonnet and on the slam panel just above the headlight ive taken the car to my local garage who tells me the turbo seals are leaking and i need...

I went to see a c250 td today. THe main problem was the lack of power. May be this is becuase im used to driving the e300td, but it felt like there was no turbo. From memory the turbo kicks in around 2000rpm, and the engine is not too responsive before that. On this car, its like your just...

Hi guys, anyone out there know if you can test the pressure converter on these engines as i am losing most of my power going up hill (won't rev past 3k) and think it may be the problem. Also if a fault code is present in the ECU ie. overboost, will that stop the car from performing and have to...

I've replaced all the clear plastic pipes (inc o-rings, the complete pipes come with new rings fitted) between the fuel filter housing and the fuel pump. Which other o-rings are there that I've missed. I found a thread a while ago when searching on this subject where he replaced all the...

Calling fellow C250TD owners... How much noise does your car make when it comes on boost? The other C250 I've been in is non turbo so I've not got much to compare to. I didn't think it was too bad but drove a bit yesterday with the window down and I can hear it quite a lot. I've had a couple...

Took my C250td out today went half a mile to the local shop. Stopped for 5mins or so. Back into the car started fine & had been running fine up till the point on the main road accelerating from 20mph it seemed to develop a misfire/splutter. Altering the throttle position didn't change the...

Hi all I have owned my C250td for around 3 years now..it has been faultless and I have loved every min of ownership but now I have got my eye on a 2003 C270 cdi which I am going to test drive tomorrow..am I doing the right thing??...any advice would be great...I just dont know if I can part with...

See thread Is that crease in the lead edge the damage to the bonnet? It looks like it may have moved the whole bonnet slightly judging by the fitting towards the edges, is that so? It will have a knock on effect on the value.
