engine

Before getting my oil service done by MB the oil temperature read 102 at the highest (even after giving it the beans) However after the service (beginning of Feb) the car runs at 108 now without even driving a little spirited. What's everyone else running at ? Anything I should be concerned...

Hi fellow members my clk w208 engine fan continues to run after car is switched off.I am having to take the fuse out in order to stop it operating continuously. I would be grateful for your advice on this Cheers AL

RE: 2007 W203 C230 Avantgarde Hey folks, wondering if I could pick your brains. My check engine light came on a yesterday so I did as such. When I looked, there's a tube that has been unplugged and I don't know what this component is. I'm sure somebody on here knows. So what is this...

Hey, I've purchased a 1989 2.6 190e for a great price in Australia (it's a UK import). For a long time I've been dreaming about making a street legal race car based on the 190e with a evo II bodykit. So far I have the base car, but a lot of work is required. I previously owned a 400hp BMW...

Can anyone recommend sound proofing for under the bonnet and where to source. The car is in great condition but due to age the under bonnet sound proofing is starting to deteriorate and I would like to reinstate as am starting to detail the engine bay etc. I am not worried about original stuff...

Hey All, I wondered if you'd be able to help me shed some light on this. I've owned my CLS55AMG for the last 2 years and it's always ran faultlessly. It has however always had this weird whining/grinding noise coming from the underside of the car towards the rear of the engine. It happens...

Went into Halfords last week to get a part for kids bike and spotted a promotion on PETRONAS Syntium 7000 oil. They had 5L 0W-40 (and other viscosities) Fully synthetic API SN, ACEA A3/B4 which was MB approved 229.5 at £40.99. That works out at £8.20/litre which is in some cases better than...

So, what fun and games this pile of sh#t OM651 engine is providing. The Injection pump appears to be leaking underneath from some sort of gasket, has anyone had this? Does anyone have knowledge they would like to share on removing the pump? I've whipped out the engine as it's impossible to...

Apologies in advance for a how long is a piece of string ? post. Nor do I expect anyone to have a crystal ball ! I know there are variables. Currently interested in a 2009 A W169 1700 petrol with 70,000 on clock for £5,000. Wondering how long I can expect from engine - I would like to keep...

So, stupid moment here... Imagine this, you have the bonnet open and the keys in the ignition. The ignition is in the ON position, but the engine isn't started. Then you forget and close the door, which is locked. Now, imagine that happened with the car blocking your other car on your...

Hi Ive got a 05 plate A Class W169 and the Engine light keeps coming on. It has been to a MB independant workshop and it comes up with the fault "P2359 charge pressure control". So far it has had a new turbo charger, air temp and pressure sensors. There seems to be no cracks or leaks...

Does anyone have any info regarding the new 2.0 OM654 engine yet? I'm particularly interested in what's been done to address the OM651 simplex timing chain issue. Experience has shown that the OM651 requires a timing chain replacement at around 80-100,000 miles, which is really difficult due...

My trusty CLK has thrown in the towel. Its transmission has failed. What to do? £2500 purchase price 11 years ownership 80K Miles with me with no issues and it's now only got a choice of two gears Seconds and Reverse which it selects with a loud clonk. The fault will not clear and he's...

Hi, New here so hope this is ok to post. Here goes... I have a W211 E280 CDI 2007 which has developed a problem. When driving and coming to a halt, randomly and never at a specific point of a journey, the car rumbles to a stop. The engine then loses all power and brings up all the lights...

Any idea where this should be connected...

Hi all, This is my first post here - apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I am having no luck finding any info on this. I've got a loud tapping noise coming from the engine bay of my C280, the engine isn't running and I've been out for a short drive of 5 miles ish tonight, the...

Hi, I'd appreciate any ideas on a problem with my 2008 W204 C320 CDI with 110,000 miles on the clock. At the last service I was advised by the Mercedes specialist I have been using for the last couple of years that the Engine Management light was due to a faulty glow plug control unit and...
