e300td

Okay, so after having many auto cars in the past today I decided I really should check the auto transmission oil in my E300TD. Having seen a few posts on here about checking and quotes about how it must be done at a dealer so that the oil is at exactly 81 degrees, I thought at least a look to...

Hi, I own a 1998 E300TD. I've had it from new and done 161k miles in it. It's been well looked after but is now showing some signs of age. The other day, I heard a clunking noise when I started her up. I've got one glow plug down at present so I thought it was just associated with that as...

Hello, What is the lengh of an original MB glow plugs on the E300TD 1997? Is it 82mm or 115mm? There are 2 options apparently from beru: GN 948 115 mm going in 28mm GN 960 82mm going in 25mm Thank you. Olivier

Didn't want to put 'winter tyres' in the heading but I have managed to find some at a local dealer, problem is they are 15". My current tyres are 215/55 ZR16's and the chap said he had some 195/65 15 winter tyres. Problem is I need to find some 15" rims for them but am aware that there are...

Hi Guys, My E300TD is going to have to go, any ideas what it might be worth, as it needs a couple of small jobs and I'm not sure if its worth doing them, details are: 99 'V' E300TD Elegance Black green (Met Blue!) 132k Full and documented history, (I've done last 60k always mobil 1TD) Body all...

E300TD 1999, 120K miles. I have a rattle that seems to be coming from the catalytic converter. It is only there at idle and goes away as soon as the throttle is opened. Is this common? I am more than happy to change it as I see on Cats2U.co.uk it is only £94 +Vat which was a surprise. Any...

My good lady has damaged both front undertray parts (now held up with cable ties) Would it make a lot of difference to noise/mpg if I removed all of it or shall I order some new ones? Phil

I have a slight fuel leak that seems to be coming from the joint between the Injector pump and the fuel solenoid (black plastic). There are two bolts that hold the solenoid on to the pump and a small 'O' ring that seals the two. I have had it apart and all looks OK but I guess it just needs the...

Hi all Im parting out my E-Class 300TD W210 Silver. Interior is cloth. It had engine damaged. To be exact it has two valve seats damaged on 5th & 6th cylinder plus 2 glow plugs are twisted on thread. So far reserved parts: - front body panels (fenders, bonnet, bumper, headlights) - but that...

My 2-tone horn has died, slowly. One tone after another. I can see a horn behind the bonnet grille with two conectors and two cables leading off. Is it a single unit, or as I've read in other messages two units tucked away in different locations? Is it a generic Merc horn for most...

Hi Just looking for general consensus of opinion. Would you consider a trip from Belfast to Lake Garda via Stranraer/Dover/Calais/Basel/Garda and home through Stelvio Pass and Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart? By the way there would be a wife and 5 kids on board too!! 230K

Only went in for a "B" Service, came out with a £4000 estimate for parts and labour :eek: Replacements & work required:- -New front subframe (rotten/corroded) -Rear propshaft coupling (split) -2x rear subframe bushes (split) -4x brake disks and pads (pitted & corroded) -N/S/F coil...

Hi all....1st off, apologies if this is a daft question. But im wanting to change some front suspension parts. Im thinking mainly drop links, roll bar bushes, possibly tie rod ends too, as the ride is a little bit loose, slight knocking over bumps etc. Just wondered if anyone could tell me...

I did a job over the weekend - Changed the main fuel filter and the pre-filter on the E300TD. Not difficult. I had the parts, including the replacement O-ring seal for the pre-filter housing. In the box with the main filter cartridge, were two O rings ... One slightly larger than the other. I...

Looking for 2 rear shocks, bogue if possible. Cheers. Olivier

Hello :), another strange one from me again. I'm asking for a listen of a members engine whilst an a little run? :) Reason is I think mine is a little tappy at low acceleration, I just need to asses the difference, if any. The car needs to be a non CDI E300 W210, with turbo. The sounds is...

Hi Guys, Looks like the honey moon period is over! Number 6 fuel injector recess is filled with engine oil, only thing I can think if is that the rocker cover gasket is leaking. Doesn't seem to be a common fault (had a search on here and the net) Does anyone have any alternative suggestion or...

Have been the owner of a 98 e300 td for 7 months now and have a problem at when starting it. When i start the car after it has been sitting for a while, the engine misfires and belches smoke until i blip the throttle when the smoke stops but the engine runs unevenly. Once ive driven 50...

I've got a 98 E300TD (W210) which has been overhauled once about 55k kms ago and I have recently replaced the injector nozzles. The problem is that when I start my car in the morning it starts fine without any smoke. After about 5-8 minutes of idling the engine sound drastically changes as if...

I have a small drip from bottom of rad OS front, looks like the clean atf I put in this summer. Has anyone had this leak with an E300TD. Is it a seprate cooler? I cant see it properly even with undertray removed. Is it likely to be a new cooler job and if so ball park parts figure ?? :mad:
