fuel

Hi Guys, Been away on holiday camping for a while, 1100 mile round trip to Cornwall and back ( from Harrogate, NYorks, 390 miles each way and 300 miles while down there pottering about for 2 weeks. The question of fuel consumption on ml270's comes up a lot so I thought I would let anyone...

While answering a thread elsewhere ;) I came across these diagrams/pin assignments for the large MAS relay found on some early w124 and w129 models. These don't appear often so I decided to post em up here MAS relay diagram - PeachParts Mercedes ShopForum

Hi there I've had a problem for a while with my car, and seems like no dealers have managed to find out yet :( Every morning when I start it, it cranks for a few times before starting and idle is a bit high and takes time to go down to 900-1000 but then it moves slightly up and down. Veeery...

The light came on the motorway and it was another 20 miles before the next fill up point. Does the light change from solid to flashing at any point? (I have read there's a small round dot that lights up just before cut off) Thanks

Hi all, First post i think. I recently purchases a 2013 W204 C220 CDI AMG Sport Plus 7G Tiptronic & its amazing. (Pics attached) However, I'm struggling to get the fuel economy up anything past 36mpg. This is pretty much based off both a mixture of city driving and also dual carriageway...

Been driving my facelift S211 for a couple of weeks now and am a bit surprised at the fuel efficiency. My old W210 320CDi - straight six - generally gave me circa 30mpg as an average, the S211 320CDi -V6 - is about the same. I was hoping that it might be a bit better. The figures are for mixed...

Hi all, I have just joined the forum in the hope someone may be able to help me out with a bit of technical data? I am after the expected fuel pressure value, at the rail, on a 2001 W168 A140. It would seem the value given in the Haynes manual is way off (errors can be common in their...

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...

Hi I am new to this forum.I have just bought a c200 cdi auto my previous car was a freelander td4. I wanted to know where is the best place to fill up with the best diesel at the supermarket or other places. All help would be appreciated. Thank you.:dk:

2003 e329 cdi wont start after fuel filter change Hi, I just did basic service on my e320 cdi, changed all filters and oil. it was starting instantly until I changed the fuel filter. Now it will not fire. I have had years of diesel engine servicing under my belt but this is a bit more...

Can anyone tell me if the 320 cdi w209 will self bleed once the furl filter us changed thanks

2003 CL 600 W215 Hi everyone, After STAR diagnosis, the garage says the occasional misfiring is down to a faulty fuel pump. It's always been noisy so I'm going to replace it. Dealer wants £245 for the pump and £120 to replace it. he also wants to replace the fuel filter, but that was...

Hi, does the E320 cdi auto estate 3.2 ltr straight six have a fuel pre filter. I have previously owned an E300 D and that had a pre filter on the main filter housing. I can see this car is a lot different and having the cdi fuel system on it I expect is more fiddly to work on. Just ordered...

Guys, I'm in the process of purchasing a direct mount (the fuel rail) fuel pressure gauge. I've opted for an Aeromotive which has a 1/8 NPT fitting. What I need is an adaptor to plumb into where the Schrader valve is on the rail, I think I'll need to screw out the valve itself before screwing...

Evening all, I purchased a diesel C220 on a 53 plate just a few days ago. I'm more than happy with the car but I'm having issues with the fuel levels or the gauge showing wrong. When I picked up the car it required diesel, the light was on so I put £30 worth in. I returned to the garage just...

I've noticed the electric pump in the tank runs continuously when the ignition is turned, is this normal or should it cut out when its up to pressure? Cheers!

Hi, everyone. My SL350 (R230) fuel gauge recently stopped working. As there were no other problems on the instrument cluster, I figured it must be the sender. I acquired a s/h one from fleabay but same problem. When the sender is unplugged - ignition on - the gauge goes to Full and range shows...
