Hi, It was leaking badly. Took it apart to see if it was worth getting a refurb kit and the spindle and inside case was so badly scored that it was obviously beyond repairing. I guess I can't complain for 23 years of great service. New one costs £720+VAT and they don't do an exchange...

Hi All, Has anyone had any success with a tuning chip for the OM606 in a W210? As its an old type of engine/ecu, not many companies offer the remap (until the later 220/320 engines). I know there are some companies that do, but I go through E300s every year and that would mean remapping...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and i'm experiencing a problem whereby I switch my headlights on and I get a dash light ABS ASR. If I switch to full beam the speedo stops working and maybe i'm being paranoid but the steering seemed that bit heavier too. I even noticed this evening that the gear...
