Hi, does anyone have a strong opinion about the best brand of petrol for a supercharged 1.8 litre? Will supermarket 98 octane be as good as any other? thanks if you can help

I have a CLK 280 2008, where the fuel cap is located there is an overflow outlet for water etc, mine appears to be blocked, i have tried to unblock it with a piece of wire with no luck, i am wondering where the outlet comes out, it seems to come out by the inner wheel arch but i cannot see...

Hi guys, Car is having a few issues under WOT hiccups and also the occasional fuel pressure low fault so starting with (what I thought) would be a routine serviceable item the fuel filter I asked my local Indy MB specialist about it and he said it's in the fuel tank and it's a lifetime item...

Hi everyone, what follows is a slightly long and rambling post, but any help would be appreciated. Ever since I've had my 190E 2.6 the throttle response hasn't been quite what you'd expect for a car of its power. The car is perfectly driveable (indeed, I've driven it over 20,000 miles in this...

Hi Just curious as to how accurate the fuel warning light is compared to what miles are showing left on the readout. My warning light came on today at Quarter tank, command was saying I had 40 mile left.... is this about right...? I never usually let it get that low as a rule..! Cheers Lee

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 .

Thought I'd share.... So, last year I started having the usual issues with the fuel pump relay - basically, when you turn the key, you don't hear the whoosh of the fuel pump, and the engine turns but obviously it doesn't start as the fuel pump isn't on. I took the relay out, re-soldered it...

Hi all I am a new member after a little advice I am thinking of buying a C180 auto from between 2010 - 2012 with low mileage but cannot seem to get an accurate consumption figure. I drive a passat cc tdi which gives about 45 mpg Can anyone help.

Can any one shed any light on my situation. When I put fuel in my car, the fuel gauge will go up, but as I drive the car the gauge doesn't seem to fall at all???

Hi, Having problems with my trusty old 230TE (1991), drives fine for the first 5 minutes or so then lacks power, doesn't want to build up speed no matter how much the accelerator is pressed (max speed - 10mph). I've contacted a few independent Merc specialists but they are not willing to...

Just serviced my ML and now it will not start!. Noticed the fuel filter housing is cracked and the connector/pipe to the fuel tank is very brittle (Assume air being drawn in hence not starting) If I fill fuel line/filter then does run but wont restart as soon as I switch off (Lots of air bubbles...

Hi Ive seen some places do cashback when you buy a refurbished fuel pump. Anyone know of any who will give me cashback even tho I didnt buy it from them? High Pressure fuel pump off w163 270cdi. I was going to get it refurbished but have changed my mind. Louis

Just a heads up to fellow R129 owners . I started noticing a smell of petrol over the last week , getting progressively worse , no obvious drips under the car but the smell was inside the car and in the boot . There was also no longer any vacuum when I removed the filler cap . My initial...

Hi guys, quick question about A2104767326 - hose from fuel tank to pump on my E55. Anyone knows the size of this as I need a replacement & it needs to be ordered from Germany. One of the parts guy I spoke to says it's simply a short length of hose for £21.70 & I could source one locally.

Hi Im about to put a second hand high pressure fuel pump on A1620700001 What o rings do I need? Cheers

Does anyone know if it's possible to recalibrate the fuel consumption read out on the trip computer on this model, perhaps through a hidden menu? Measuring fill-up to fill-up on the same pump, it's always about 0.4l/100km under-reading... On my old 1995 E34 BMW, it was possible to calibrate...

Hey guys,will be replacing the fuel filter on my W204 C220 cdi, do you guys just change the filter and transfer over the integrated heating sensor from your old filter. Or is it best just to buy the filter with a new sensor already attached?

Hi I've just taken delivery of some filters to do a service. The fuel filter was purchased as a Febi Bilstien part but on opening the box there within lies a Hengst filter. I'm ok with that as I believe Hengst filters are good quality but are Hengst and Febi the same company or do...
