c320cdi

Here is another anti MB story..... Having had the oil changed this week when up on the ramp (i like the drain plug used to get rid of any sludge ) the rear box was found to have holes in and the rear hanger had rusted off the box also. The garage phoned around and found out that this is a...

Okay, put new seals in and a new Y duct .. however I notice that the new pipe doesn't go right home against the turbo face, it sits a couple of Millimeter off the face.. now it could be that thickness of a new seal has come into play, would I be right on thinking this - that its thicker now than...

I saw that someone mentioned "Coating the outer surface of the turbo seal with silicone grease" can someone help me by explaining why and what good it did? I have silicone grease at the ready, just need the rubber gloves and yes..lols!

Can anyone please advise me on the following ...(preferably from someone that has actually done the job) On my W204 C320 CDI OM642 engine I want to replace the fanbelt. However looking in to the area of the belt, it is impossible to see the tensioner, as there appears to be a black plastic...

Ive read that the earlier years of this model had some issues, are the later ones considerably improved? Im looking at a 2007 model and wondering what i should be looking out for if anything other than the norm. Much as I wanted to move up to an AMG, i cant justify the cost at the moment...

Just a quickie really.. When you replace the Turbo Seals (Big Red One & Smaller Red) do you coat them with anything, like a smear of silicone grease to stop them brittling?? Or do you just pop them in and hey presto! Just Curious as I'm doing mine shortly...

I have a 2005 Mercedes C320cdi and it needs a new O2 sensor. It should be easy to order one but none of the online parts site recognise the model (?) and simply state that this part is not available.

Good morning all I seem to have a small issue with the 7G gearbox on my 2007 C320 CDI. The symptoms only seem to happen when the car is up to temperature. When in S mode holding the gearbox in 5th, running at about 45-50mph at 1400-1500rpm on a slight throttle there is what feels like a slight...

I collected my new C250CDI AMG Sport Plus this afternoon. There was an element of surprise in this, the dealer has been fairly consistent in being incompetent! Anyway, they did their job in the end, and the car arrived, exactly as ordered and free of any problems.:thumb: No rattles... Its...

Hi, Found a nice looking W203 C Class which seems to tick all the boxes but is nearly 400 miles away in Aberdeen. Distance isn't an issue for me in terms of collecting it (despite the wife's moaning) but I was wondering if anyone is local and fancies taking a look if its not too far away...
