camshaft

The camshaft lobes on the 450 are a bit pitted and I thought that perhaps they could be re-surfaced. The replacement MB parts are excruciatingly expensive so looking for a more cost effective alternative. Anyone know of or can recommend, preferably in the Midlands, someone capable of doing this?

Hi, Can anyone help me? I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2003 2.7 CRD the same engine as the ML270. While tightening the camshaft bearings up after some other work one of the shell half bearings snapped (can see a flaw). Unfortunately I cant buy just one shell but have to buy the lot at £500+. Is...

Hi. I just took out my CPS to clean and noticed there was a thick film of oil on it. Is this normal ? This is for a M111 230K Engine.

Is this engine gunk, or is this actually metal that has corroded? I'll assume it's like this all along both shafts. Is this normal for car with 150,000 miles? or is it because it was poorly taken care of? I have to admit, that I did go for almost 9,000 miles without an oil change the last time...

Hi all, after removing the front cover of my M111 engine,I saw the solenoids oily,I thought there is leaking oil seals under the solenoids...but there was nothing under them... any idea how to stop this leak? I heard that MB sells paste that stop this leak but very expensive...is this true...

1977 mercedes 230 gas engine no oil coming to the top any idea please oil pressure is good at the oil filter ,this car had head gasket problem ,mechanic fixed the head gasket now no oil to the top of the engine thank you

Hi this may sound like a silly question, but knowing little about this area i'll ask anyway ;):o is there any way the camshaft or one of them may turn intermittently? its the one that drives the fuel lift pump i am most concerned about. the lift pump works fine "on the bench" but...

Camshaft or head wanted. Please PM me with info. Please note the inlet or exhaust cam is the same and I only need one.

Which is the Inlet camshaft, the one with bigger or smaller lobes and does it have a number. C180 W 202. 1994. (and where is the numbr stamped on the shaft). Thanks

Hi guys, I've ended up buying a Brabus engine that I found locally and I'm currently in the middle of cleaning up the engine and preparing it for the swap. I purchased a sports camshaft that was supposed to bump up some power out of my 8V M102 motor. The sports camshaft is made by Albert, an...

My wifes car(C200K ,52K miles) has developed a rattle from the camshaft actuator, If I unplug the wiring to the magnet it stops ,so pretty sure it's that. Question is do I get it repaired at £800 + or will leaving it cause major problems in the future. Also discovered the oil in the loom problem...

Anyone got one lying around they know works? Part number is A0041530028 :)

I've had a hot starting problem on my 270CDi for the last couple of weeks and posted on it. Most poters thought it could be the crankshaft sensor although a few said it was rare for them to go on a CDi diesel. My indie plugged car into day and only fault that came up was the camshaft sensor...

Hi, GF car A Class 2003 (W168) 2.1 Evo, was looked at this morning, luckily it wasn't the MAF as suspected. The Camshaft Sensor and Crank Position Sensor both require changing. For this she has been quoted £450 for parts alone - is that a fair price? I've searched Euromerc and Euro Car...

Hi all. My C80 came up with an engine diagnostic light, and the MB dealer kindly changed the above solenoid from stock, and cleaned the car. All very impressive. Does anyone know what the solenoid does, and whether it's a known issue on the 3 litre V6?

Im hoping someone can tell me where the camshaft sensor / magnet is in my w202. Been told to check if this is filled with oil etc as its a common fault. Out at the car just now and cant locate the camshaft sensor! Thanks
