change

Hi there, Apologies if this a a double post - I posted earlier and it disappeared into thin air. I think I'd like to do a diff swap and need some advice. My W202 (facelift, manual, C200, with ASR) screams away at 3000+rpm at motorway speed (70mph). This is all very 1999 - when cars didn't have...

Hi I have a 2009 CLC. I have a sidelight bulb that has gone and I was wondering what bulb it is and how easy it is to change. There seems to be 2 sidelight bulbs and the one that has gone is the one circled yellow. It may be called a parking light bulb. Has anyone got a video or instructions...

Well that's it and deal done. Decided to have a change from Mercedes and have ordered a Range Rover Sport, i hope i don't come to regret this. Just the wait until September now. The part exchange price could have been a little better but i got a good deal. I still have plenty of time...

Hi Have a 2010 e 220 CDI with 5 speed auto. When car is cold the gear changes are quite sharp and the engine revs are dipping and raising quite vigorously as I drive along at say 30mpj. Car done 45k miles and just had transmission fluid change. Once car is warmed up the gear changes are...

So I’m looking to replace the poly v belt. Has anyone come across a guide for this on the E class. I’ve tried looking around and come across some for the same engine but in different Model Mercs. By looking at it the procedure seems to be: -Remove the dual air intake Y piece...

So I had to chance the brakes after a track day and high speed event I put new pads on before the track day Maybe done a total of 800 miles Pads and discs are MB PPP sets I also put new pins in the calipers as the old ones bent on removal and although I straightened them out i wanted new...

Hello, I'm looking for some information on changing the cam magnets on my C180 M271 engine as I have got oil leaking into the wiring harness. I'm about to order the magnets, O rings, grommets and the additional wiring adaptors to stop this problem. Is there anything more I need to do and...

As the title really. I tend to get at least a few years worth before I think of changing. Others don't even last a year. Given the whole business of selling/buying, what's the point of changing cars soon? Other than circumstances etc. What's your view on this? Just seen an ad by a member on...

Morning guys. Unfortunately the E63 has gone ... but, a C63 has taken it's place. Does any one have the definitive answer as to the latest C63 requiring a diff oil change at 1000 miles ? The dealer in Wakefield had no idea - yes believe me , no idea at all.

I have a Clk 270 cdi 55 reg & my radiator fan does not work so I have bought another fan & I am going to replace it & I was wondering what kind of job it is> Do you have to remove the front slam panel, any water hoses etc, any advice on what kind of job it is will be greatly appreciated.

Hi to everyone! I am about to change the oil filter on my 2.4 litre C240 engine. I notice that along with the new filter there is a bag of different sizes of 'O' rings, about five or six. The last time I changed the filter I found that it had two small 'O' rings on the central, black plastic...

I've only done 900ish miles in my 179,000 mile fsh E270cdi and I don't know when the auto fluid and filter was last done. It's a 2004 E270cdi. There is a bit of a whine when the car is pulling away or under load and I'm wondering if this could be the auto box complaining about the state of...

I'm struggling to confirm how often the fluid in the 7g autogearbox on a r172 should be changed. I've just acquired a 350 registered August 2011, with 24,000 miles. And although I have a copy of the digital service record up to June 2015, (it is not clear if it was serviced in June 2016), I...

Evening all, About to change my discs and pads on my R230 tomorrow and (I know it's been asked lots of times but I can't seem to find a definitive answer) wanted to check what's the best thing to do about the SBC system. Some people say just unplug it, some say follow the procedure of spinning...

I've just done this on my 54 plate E270. I managed it without losing a drop of coolant and without removing the oil filter cover. I'm new to Mercs so don't shoot me is this is all common knowledge. Tip 1. raise the front of the car about 10". I used ramps. Syphon the header tank dry...

Hi, My 2007 W211 (E320 cdi Avantgarde) with 7G Tronic last had fluid change 30/12/2011 @ 41672 miles. Now @ 67500, when should ATF be renewed? Also, Plugs were changed at same service -when do I next replace them ? Thanks. Mike.

This is the biggest air filter i've seen in a car. Upgrading to a lovely K&N one next week where I will only have to wash the filter every 10,000 miles and it saves me the cost of a new air filter come service time. Also the K&N will let the car breath more easily as its less restrictive...

Hi I took my 2006 CLK350 petrol for service, and asked if they could take a look at transmission fluid level. When the car is cold first thing in morning, for the first 100 yards or so the car revs but seems to stick in low gear. It then frees itself, and no further problems during the day...

I've got a w213 with the full drive pilot package. It's an early 2016 car so was out before the lane change assist was deemed legal in the UK. I'm assuming it's legal now as i see it offered in the merc configurator. I've got all the right hardware so i wondered if it's possible to...

Not due for another 5yrs. But is there any difficulty in d.i.y. Like dropping the bottom hose off and a few flushes? What needs to go back in for the next 15yrs protection?
