ok, I know I'm a bit of a cheepskate but I've been having a quick look on flee-bay and found this head unit: In Car Dash DVD - Touchscreen Bluetooth iPod 7" Screen on eBay (end time 09-Feb-10 20:39:26 GMT) and this reversing camera: Rear View Car LED Night Mode Reversing Security Camera on...

Hi Gents, my W124 E220 lost all power at 30mph and I was lucky enough to be near a lay-by. God bless the RAC, they were there in 10 mins, the guy had a look, spun the engine with the oil cap off and said Oh Dear, your cam ain't turning. Anyhow the guy towed me home and out came the socket set...

danger - female Merc owner! :crazy: the amber engine diagnostic light came on last friday on our way home from Cornwall. it went off again after the next short journey, but i booked it in at Merc Derby to be looked at anyway. the cam adjuster solenoid shows a stored error, i was told it will...

Hi everyone, A friend of mine has an '01 CLK 230 Kompressor. I was changing the plugs and oil for him yesterday and noticed that there is a slight oil leak around the inlet camshaft. IIRC, there's a magnet/motor that moves the cam (variable timing?). Anyone know what the usual suspect of...

Hello all My C180 is very sick. It stopped working one morning and the road side technician diagnosed a number of problems like misfiring in cylinder 1 and 2, low compression and an error from the altimeter which was apparently unplugged. He recovered it to my nearest MB dealer. They have said...

Hi All Just sold My BMW and I am now enjoying Mercedes ownership with my 211 E320 cdi! I have also owned a 208d sprinter with the 2.3 diesel engine (same as 308d I believe). (which incidentely has been far more reliable than the 3 year old BMW M3 I just sold!!!) Any way I'm after your...

Hi all, I've just seen an 2000 A190 for sale with a few problems. The owner has said that the car has a broken cam chain, which happened when he started the car last week. The car was not moving at the time. It's currently at a Merc garage and he has been told that it's a huge job to repair...

i have recently replaced the cam chain on my car. i did tighten up the chain to what i thought was tight enough. but when i rev it, it sounds noisy. so i took the cam cover off again and i now can see that the cam chain is looser than when put it in. so i pulled the tensioner out again and moved...

I've got a WB210 (E class 220CDI Estate, Silver, black leather, auto). Its got ful MBSH up to 115,000 and its now on 128,000 so due a service in a few thousand. My question is do the cam chains ever need replacing and if so when? I've had a number of Audi's (A4 Avant and TT) so have been...

just purchased a 03 e320 cdi does it have a cam belt? if so when does it need changing?

Another thing that I have spotted on the 1996 C200 that came into us today, is that there is an oil leak from the front of the engine. Unclipping the small plastic engine cover at the front of the engine, the oil appeared to be coming from the cam shaft position sensor (?). I assume that there...

Hi all. my 85', 107, 500sl has a comprehensive merc specialist history from 1991. She's now at 154k with excellent oil pressure. However, I cannot see cam chain tensioner replacement in the bills? Is it worth doing? If so, how much would it be? Also, should I be concerned with an oil leak...

The cam magent sensors have been leaking on my M271 and I'll like to buy the cable that isolates them from the engine harness. I found posts that state the part # starts with A271... yet what's the entire part #?

Hi guys, A quick question regarding the timing on a 2.5-16: With the engine at TDC on cylinder 1, crank pulley exactly at 0/T marking, and the cams in the correct postion, how low should the dots on the cam sprockets be? What I mean is, from all the pics/diagrams I've seen, they look like...

Outside the AMG engine kit, were any M111 engines with pms ever fitted with the cam advance.....I can't remember if any of the early V Class (638) had this or if they were hfm. We fitted an AMG kit to a C180 when they were released, it used an in line solenoid from the ecu to activate the...

Hi - i,m looking for either a complete engine or cylinder head with cam and valve gear complete ,for my 230 ce 1984. Does anybody know of anybody who has anything reasonable or suggest somebody who may be able to help, has recon engines? Thanks-Phil.

My C43 broke down on Friday in heavy rush hour traffic and once recovered started my research. From reading this forum and some others, it transpired crank position sensor was the most likely culprit, with the cam position sensor being the 2nd most likely. Local Mercedes dealer had both...
