c270

Can someone point me in the right direction in my search of a document that contains torque values for high pressure fuel lines attached to the common rail and the cooler line bolt (at the far end of the rail)? Car is C270 CDI with the OM612 engine. Cheers!

Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me. I recently input some diesel redex fuel system cleaner into my 2005 C270 CDI into a full tank. Initially when I put it into the car after a few miles the Engine management system light came on and the car went into emergency mode - only runs in 2nd...

A lady rear-ended my 2001 C270 (W203) saloon a week ago. The impact wasn't that great but the offside rear quarter panel is a bit crumpled and I suspect that, when the insurance company's engineer gets sight of it, the result will be a write-off. :wallbash: Anticipating this, I'm looking at...

Hi, Over the last week or so, I've had to top my coolant up three times. Looking closer today, the subframe under the radiator seems to have puddles of water in it. I'm guessing the water pump is a suspect, but access looks pretty bad - I can't even see well enough to distinguish the...

Looking for my first mercedes. c270 cdi estate,FSH 53 plate onwards.

Any ideas or have you seen this before on your own cars? I never use the kickdown button as I am a fairly sedate driver, however I did the other day and the engine light came on. I had the codes read and it was something like "accelerator voltage too high" (sorry didn't make a note). The indy...

Hi - I wonder if anyone has come across this problem before? My car was running fine (still does), but when I pressed the accelerator to the floor for kickdown the engine warning light came on :doh:. However the car still drives exactly as it did before, no change at all. I will take it to be...

Hi I am Dave and new to the MB Owners Club, new to owning a Merc to be honest. I have a 2002 C270 CDI estate 2002 model and have been having a few issues with her. They all seem to me to be electrical issues and seem to disappear as soon as they appear. AC wont come on, I have done the sync and...

Hi - am in a bit of a pickle. My battery was slurring like george best on wogan this morning and would not start. I need to change it but when I looked under the bonnet the battery seems to be completely covered by a plastic box that says (if I recall correctly) 'air conditioning' on it. I...

Just bought a 2002 C270 elegance, fantastic car, but the footwell heater flaps don't work. Everything else does, and when I start the reset sequence, all flaps including the footwell operate. The reset sequence doesn't stop until I key off, just keeps going. Anybody any ideas?

Hi The inside lip of my rear wheel arches is bubbling slightly. Ia there any Mobilo cover for this? (full mb serv history, 2004 car). Also, weirdly, the rear wheel arches seem to be lined with a felt-like material - what the hell is that? Is it typical?

My 2004 car has the so called manual mode on the box where you nudge it left for downshift, right for up shift. But I don't fully understand its operation... how do I hold a gear that I am already in? Say I am in 3rd going round a roundabout and I want to hold that gear as I exit, in the old...

Hi I wondered if anyone had got a decent 'value' service at MB. I was googling and found they do a very reasonable oil+filter service... good for keeping the FMBSH. But has anyone had their ATF on a 722.6 (5 speed) auto done at MB? They say on the phone it doesn't need doing blah blah blah...

Hello I have just acquired a C270 CDI Elegance estate. 100K miles and full merc service history :bannana:. There are one or 2 things I'd like to ask of the expert mbclub... 1) I have bought another rusty merc! :wallbash: Well its not too bad, just a v slight bubbly on the inside of the rear...

PLEASE HELP!!!! ive got a 2002 c270 cdi, just pulled up on my driveway, went to put it in park and just creeps forward, so stuck in forward gear, turned it off and now wont starts, presumably because its stuck in gear and not in park or neutral. might be my imagination but when I move gear...

Hello I've been away from Mercs for a while, but now have about £5500 to spend (absolute max, would prefre lower) on one of the above. The thing is I really need at least 40 mpg... but also dont want it to be too slow! My present v70 D5 gives 42 mpg (manual) for me on my commute and feels...

What are people's opinions on the remaps available for the 270 engine? I've been in touch with Superchips who can do it in Salisbury for around £370. That results in around 200bhp and 500Nm of torque, is that about par for course on these engines? Are there any other companies to...

I have a slight issue with my power steering. I first noticed it being a bit noisy - it sounded like the fluid was low. I stopped at my local MB dealer earlier to pick-up some fluid - they gave me some green hydraulic oil which I topped up the reservoir with to around the max mark on the dip...
