filler

Hi, I've got a CLK W209. Filled up today but couldn't get the fuel filler cap back on. I guess it's common to many models. Pleeeeeeeeease...anyone got any ideas? Do I need to "re-set" it or something? Thanks

Anyone know how to remove the petrol filler flap lock on a 2001 CLK200 coupe? There's a plastic housing in the filler cavity with a rubber grommet but not sure if this twists, pulls off or what and don't wanna break it. Can't seem to remove it from inside the boot either. There is a...

As the title. Got facelift Sport rear bumper to upgrade the 211 but it came with some superficial damage, deep scratches etc. Rub down with wet-n-dry and surface fill with what? Ta.

Hi - I hope I can pick someone's brain. Went to look at a 2001 S500 for sale today. It has just over 100k on the engine. When I had a look at the oil filler cap, there was a faint hint of yellowish/white on the inside of the cap. I've seen much worse in the past on other cars. This was just...

My fuel filler flap seems to be frozen shut. I've never heard of this happening before, anyone have any ideas for opening it as I have a 200 plus mile journey to make tomorrow. Incidentally, this is my W124 diesel estate I'm talking about.

The oil filler cap is leaking on my 124 300e. Is the only place to get a replacement a main dealer or are they available elswhere?

Hi, I have a W203 C Class Sports Coupe 220CDI (2004, facelifted edn). Took it for a long journey today, after about 1 1/2 hours I smelled burning oil, pulled over and lifted the bonnet. All around the filler cap area, and splashed over the engine cover and up onto the 'lining' of the bonnet...

For those of you with a W124 4-door saloon, can you answer this question: does your car have an extra 'space' for a fuel filler opening under the filler flap? Like the extra circular shape on this one: I'm wondering if it would be usable as an LPG filler - to avoid the typical (and awfully...

Could someone assist please? I'm about to change the oil in my manual 6 speed g/box fitted in my 2002 c class coupe, I need to purchase a filler plug key, does anyone know the size required 17mm ? 14mm? I know that I could take the covers off & have a look but it would be so much easier if...

I read this recently while abroad. If you look at your petrol gauge , you will see a small icon of a petrol pump. The handle of the petrol pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump. If your fuel tank filler cap is on the left of the car, the handle will be on the...

Hi All, My wife recently left he fuel filler cap for my W202 at a filling station. To save me schlepping down to a dealer is there a way I can order one on line? Thanks

I have recently purchased a 2000 SLK and notice that there is a small amount of rust on the inside of the petrol filler cap, and quite a lot of rust on the inside of the fuel filler pipe to the petrol tank. Not sure whether this has been caused by a clumsy previous owner, or whether it is just...

I have just bought a 2001-SLK 320 with Manual Gearbox and while routinely checking levels, I noticed a filler cap set behind the radiator slightly right of centre down a bit next to a black plastic cylinder thing with grips like the end of an oil filter. There are no marks on it, but when I...

I pressume theres something wrong with the neck of the filler pipe. Every time I buy a new fuel filler cap It fits fine but then it wont remove unless a lot of force is used and then the cap is damaged.

Tried to loosen Diff filler plug and drain plugs today to change oil. Neither will budge. Absolutely solid. The 14 mm hex tool I am using is a perfect fit in the drain plugs. An 8mm socket / ring spanner is used to fit on the hex tool. Result, 2 x 8mm 3/8 drive sockets broken under leverage, 1...

When I picked up the replacement mirror indicator from the parts dept last week (as detailed in a previous post), the chap serving me said "anything else Sir". Off the top of my head, I mentioned that my fuel cap was detached from it's fixing, so he came out with me and had a look. It's been...

Last time filling up with petrol found this plastic guide for the petrol filler flap had broken. :( (A) I think I found it in the parts section listed as GUIDE Part no- 1248000179 Can any one confirm this and is it just a push fit in or do you have to dismantle the actuator as well?:confused:

2 things worrying me. 1. i checked the oil and it was a little low about 1/3 on min/max- topped it up. read manual last night and it said that dipstick checks should be 10mins stopping after normal running temp. not sure i had done that, so i ran engine warm today and checked. seemed to be...

Worth keeping an eye on this as it retails at about £100 ... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10398&item=4551351743&rd=1
