e300td

Dear All. I've bee trying to get an E300td specialist near Harlow, Essex. I've been battling with a fuel related issue on my E300td. I have tried everything, and I'm desperate for this car to go back On the road. I'm hoping there is someone near me, who can assist. I'd be grateful if anyone...

My ancient radio in the E300TD has become a bit intermittent. It may be the radio ... An ancient Sony. However - The intermittent nature of the failure tells me it could be a poxy aerial connection. I know the aerial is the rear screen heater. Where is the connection point ? Is it a...

Looking for a gear selector if anyone as a spare let me know :) Thanks :)

Hi Everyone The front spring perches on the old E300TD are looking very shabby. They haven't actually failed yet, but failure of one of them is imminent and the other is on its way out. :( This is a common problem with these cars. I know these can be repaired. Is there a standard repair...

Hi All, I changed the gearbox oil a wee while ago but I couldn't drop the pan due to a stubborn bolt... The car was acting weirdly after a while. Not moving while engine revving and once in a while I was in Limp mode... I looked at the oil, it was bad, like the old one... Then I was told I...

Hi guys Had the glow plug light come on my wagon today. Light does not come on when you turn the ignition, but once the engine turns over the light comes on and stays on. Is it ok to carry on driving the car or does it need to be resolved as a matter if urgency?

w210 E300TD (98)187,000 miles.....just run in. Car starts fine when cold, and runs lovely, all day long unless you stop it. Then needs cranking for 10 or so seconds two or three times... to get it started..when hot. Sometimes I worry if the battery can take it. 10,000 miles ago replaced...

Just noticed the above has some shiny grease leaked out of the bottom rubber gaitor - it does not seem to be split, but didn't look to be sitting correctly at the bottom so I slid it over a round metal piece at the bottom and will monitor. It does not fit tightly at the bottom so wondered if...

I have seen the same tyres in 2 options 93W or 97W (XL) (215/55/16- Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance). Other than that the only difference I can see is the 97w(XL) is 1db louder at 69. Seeing as this is a heavy car is there anything else that is likely to be different between the 93 and...

Does the above have a separate level sensor from the windscreen reservoir? If you fill one does the other top up too? I got a message about dashboard error and read that it can be caused by a dirty washer fluid sensor. Thanks

For some time I've had a bit of an exhaust rattle from beneath the E300TD saloon. Though it was one of those heat shields .... But Not-so. Back from the particulate filter, there's a hanger bracket. The two bolts in this had worked very-loose ... finger tight ... Hence the rattle. I...

I have read conflicting information as to when changing the fuel filter it is better to have the front of the car higher than the back or vice versa? Can anyone please advise? Thanks

Hi all, For the last few weeks everytime I accelerate or brake I can hear a lot of water sloshing up and down the passenger side sill - has anyone else experienced this and if so how have you solved the problem? Can't see how that amount of water would of got in there and why it doesn't...

I've done a MAP sensor mod to my C250TD that has improved low RPM torque. I thought I'd share it because it's a bit different to other ones I've seen. Background: The MAP sensor is used by the ECU to limit fueling when the turbo isn't spooled and limit boost when it is. I've seen some mods...

Hello all the short version is... I pranged my beloved diesel estate. It is a 1994 M reg with about 175,000m on the clock. Previously in good condition for its age, and it has had whatever it needed (recently suspension)at an independent mercedes garage. It has always been well...

Hi! My car is E300TD 1998 W210. The battery failed on me several times. Initially I atributed it to very short journeys but it has been recharged since wih a very good charger (CTEK MXS 5) and after some rasonable length journeys and 5 days of no use even doors would not open. I checked the...
