    ML 270 CDI Cylinder Head Bolts Torque specifications

    1.) Hi, I need to know what the torque specifications are on a 2000 model ML 270 CDI. 2.) Do I need to torque them only once, or again after +/- 1000Km driving as is the case with certain other vehicles? 3.) Can I use the same head bolts or should they be replaced with new head bolts?

    P0301 cylinder 1 misfire detected

    I've got this fault code on my C180 (1998 model). My first guess would be the coil-pack, but if this was failing wouldn't it cause a misfire on two cylinders as they share a coil? What else could cause this fault? Also, which is cylinder no1? Many thanks

    M271 - cylinder head issue on early builds?

    I have read that the early builds of the M271 suffer from a cylinder head problem that causes compression problems. This is due to exhaust valves sticking, guides/springs wearing, and carbon build up. The fix is a new cylinder head. I have read that the exhaust valve on the new head is smaller...
