Hi does anyone know how to diagnose fuel gauge problem as it shows empty no matter how much diesel in the tank, I have pulled out sender unit cleaned it with switch cleaner and put it back but no joy, any advice or tips would be much appreciated.

Just found this: https://www.petrolprices.com/fuel-to-cost-more-at-peak-times So, in addition to queuing for 10 mins at busy times to fill up, you get stung for another couple of pence per litre. Well, that'll cheer people up!:fail

Last week I decided to drop 55 ltrs of unleaded into my 350ML which had 10 Ltrs of diesel in it. I went about 500 yards and it died on me and I knew straight away what I had done. The AA couldnt get fuel assist to me so they flatbedded it home and came out in the morning. Nearly 2...

Hello A friend of mine owns a 1988 300SL and it's refusing to fire up. I have read some place before that the fuel pump relay could be the cause? Anyone else had a similar issue or could help diagnose what it may be? Thank you very much

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 all, my names James, i'm new here. I have just purchased a CLA 220 Diesel with pretty much every option apart from the panoramic roof. I work most days so i only drive it occasionally, but when i do it is such a treat. Last night on my way home from a meal out with my wife i stupidly put...

Went to my local Costco today (Gateshead) to get a few bits and pieces and noted that they have just opened the new Costco Petrol Station and are selling Premium Diesel at £1.09 a litre. As I also needed Diesel I decided to give it a go and tanked the A Class up which came to £43.74 which is...

Hi, what are the views regarding using a Fuel pipe clip against a Worm drive clip (jubilee ;)) reason being I found a diesel fuel leak from one of the pipes on the fuel filter (320CDi) :mad: I popped the original clip off also found another old clip on top of the manifold under the...

As the title says really. Mines broken, which allowed the pipe to come adrift and rub on the belt, causing a bad leak! Its the clip underneath the HP fuel pump that holds the 2 clear plastic fuel pipes. It's a 2002 W210 320cdi. WDB2102262X085962 Cheers Ben

Hi everyone, I own a 190e 2.6 and I have stripped down the fuel distributor to replace the seals and diaphram and on dismantling it I found that the filter which goes on the metering barrel tube has a hole in it. Does anyone have one of these filters or know where I might be able to get one...

Hi everyone, I own a 190e 2.6 and I have stripped the fuel distributor to replace the seals and diaphram. On taking it apart the metering barrel tube has a filter around it and mine has a hole in it. Does anybody have a filter or know where I might be able to buy one. I have tried a lot of...

Hi, Need massive help from you guys if possible please? I have W210 320cdi. High pressure fuel pump started leaking. So I changed all the seals and it's fixed now. HOWEVER!! since then it's causing blue (ish) smoke. Before sorting the high pressure fuel pump it had no smoke issue at all. My...

There seem to be various types I could buy: With no filter heater With water capture connection Without level measurement The prices vary wildly from 16 euros for a Mann to 60 euros fr Man or Knecht. So, any hints on which to buy and any hints on changing it (since I don't yet know...

Gents, On my W124 500E I've recently started to have the fuel needle dancing quite dramatically. It's ok from full down to 1/2 & from 1/4 & below but between 1/2 & 1/4 the needle is up and down in quite quick movements. Is this the fuel sender or something more sinister. Cheers D

Hi all Anyone got a spare black plastic undershield that covers the fuel filter and pump under the rear of a 124 estate? It is a '96 incase that makes a difference. Thanks Tom

Replaced the fuel lines a couple of days ago and have'n't been able to start the engine since. Drained the battery (twice) trying to start the engine, no air bubbles in new lines, but I'm panicking now that I may have put the fuel lines in the wrong ports of the HP pump. Can someone confirm...

Does anyone do this? It's common practice with Rover 75 CDT owners. I've done it myself for many years and it seems to make the engine run smoother. I was wondering if Mercedes CDI drivers do the same.

Looking to downgrade to another petrol ML, but cheaper models few and far between. Came across an 2005 ML500 with LPG and petrol. I admit I've no knowledge or experience of LPG whatsoever. Don't think I've ever even seen one. My mileage is almost solely 2-4 miles a day in Central London...

Need some clarification please. My W210 normally starts first time, every time but recently if left for a day (flat surface) it takes 2 or 3 attempts but is fine for the rest of the day. Clear fuel lines are around 2 years old so not those but reading about it, this is common and the seals need...

Evening All, I have been shown a fuel leak under my E220 W124 coupe due to corroded fuel line. It was in for a Value service at Gatwick MB dealer who identified it and showed me the leak on video, it was like a dripping tap! The leak looks like its at the rear just before it runs up to the...
