filler

So I was driving my 507 today close to home. Gave it full throttle and then noticed I'd lost power steering and the battery warning message came up. Managed to just get it home - those things without power steering are almost impossible to move! Anyway, opened the bonnet and there was oil...

my son mentioned to me this evening that my fuel flap was hanging open. Took a closer look and it would appear that the "hinge" is broken where it attaches to the housing. The top seems well anchored but the bottom of the plastic hinge no longer seems to be attached to the housing inside the...

Hi Folks, I have a couple of oddities that I wonder if you can help with. First is that the low fuel warning light does not come on. I know this as the car ran out of fuel completely a while back and it had to be recovered by the good old RAC. The gauge works fine, it's just that the low...

Hi I went to view a 230e 1992 estate yesterday and need some advice please. The car itself is ok for its age runs well no nasty noises,but, when I took the oil filler cap off when the engine was running, oil gushed out of the top and over the engine and myself. I've never seen this before? Car...

Not sure how by my fuel filler cap will not open without multiple tries at getting it to open.Seems a bit hit or miss and never had this problem in CLK but my E Class coupe filer cap seems to be a problem. Does anybody know any other way of open this .

Hi Back in the suumer, I posted on here to ask fellow 205 BlueTec owners if they'd ecountered a ticking noise coming from the fuel flap area (or below) for about 20 seconds after switch-off. No-one seemed to have had similar although there were suggestions it could either be exhaust cooling...

Anyone used carbon fibre re-enforced filler such as UPOL's SMC™: Application Specific High Adhesion Easy Sand Fibre Filler. This appears to be a favourite finishing/repair product for fiberglass bodied cars such as Lotus and early Corvettes. Might it also be suitable for plastic bumpers ...

Hi, I am new to this forum so maybe I should say something about myself before asking my question. I drive a Mercedes B180 which I was given by an elderly friend who is no longer able to drive, in the family we also have 2 X Mazda 2, an MGTF and soon to have a Mazda MX5. I have a problem with...

I've noticed this over the last few years, the Oil Filler cap on the wifes W202 seems to be getting harder and harder to get off. I now have to try and do it after a run when everythings Hot . I have before on occasion used a pair of molegrips wrapped with a towel. Is it time to replace it ? is...

Made the mistake of locking car at garage before filler cap was closed. Now it won't unlock. Already taken the RHS interior side panel off and can see (and felt - as in "ouch") the actuator is moving back and forwards as it should when key is pressed. Seems as if the metal pin that secures the...

The tether perished so I've bought another filler cap from Mercedes, no idea why they didn't fit it during the service but that's another issue. How do you remove the tether from the filler door, I've put a pair of pliers around it but it just split the plastic? I suspect it's just a case of...

Came to fill my car today and at the top of the filler neck is a plastic guide , this appears to be loose and had turned through 90 degrees preventing me from filling the car, after a biff of faffing i managed to get it back into the right position but it doesnt appear to have anything securing...

As per the title Left mine on the roof!

Hi I've lost the fuel filler cap for the above. Its a late 2005 model. Have spent a fruitless couple of hours on the internet trying to find a correct replacement but no joy. Does anyone please know the part number and /or where I could get one? Thanks

I have purchased a new petrol filler cap for my 2006 CLK as the old one is broken, but I can't work out how to remove the old cord from the inside of the filler cover flap, which is held in place by a kind of grommet which I will reuse for the new one. Can anyone help me please?

Last summer I had all 4 wheel arches resprayed to remove the rust. I had already treated the rust on the rear wheel arches with a hamerite rust converted, but that was presumably removed by the painter when he stripped, bogged, primed and painted the arches. Assuming he did all steps. My...

Had and interesting experience yesterday. Went to fill up my new C Class for the second time and the fuel nozzle would not go into the filler. The metal flap inside the filler neck would not release, despite several attempts to insert the pump nozzle. I double checked the fuel type (BP Ultimate...
