fuel

Went to the fuel station to try fuel up and the flap was locked and wouldn't open. I went home and removed the panel in the boot and unlocked it manually. The actuator will lock but not unlock, is there a repair for this or is it a new actuator needed? I tried using the search function but...

Hi All Wanted some advice, went to a MB dealer for something (unrelated to below) and as part of a healthcheck they advised that my E250 (diesel) has a fuel leak, I asked where this was and they said it was under the bonnet. I'm not getting any fuel smells or any drops under the car (maybe...

Hi. I have an S202 C200 estate of 1997 vintage. I am currently in Hungary, and have a problem with it. There is a strong smell of fuel when the tank is fuel, and upon investigation, it seems the fuel tank breather pipe is a bit perished and is leaking fuel when I have brimmed the tank full of...

Hi Friends, Due to a change in circumstance I now have to park my ML facing up-hill on my drive and it appears that the fuel is draining back to the tank as it takes ages to start which it never did (and doesn't) facing downhill. With a full tank it will still start OK but at 1/2 to 3/4, no...

I've been looking for a while now and never found anything solid, is it possible to have the ECU tuned to fuel on overrun to produce pops and crackles?

I could do with a little information just now. My engine is a M103 . And the fuel pressure regulator might need replacing .I have had a problem with the car from day one 3 years ago . Starting it is not clean .But it will start every time .But when it is warm , it starts and stops. I have...

After replacing every clear fuel line , every o ring with vitons, the fuel delivery seals on the fuel pump, I have finally found the source of where the air is entering my fuel system....the Fuel Shut Off Valve. Does anyone know the product code for the o ring on the Fuel Shut Off Valve ...

Hi everyone, I am in the process of picking a new/nearly new vehicle and recently test drove an ML350 (15 plate) and was very impressed. However I have read through dozens of reviews and forum posts and the opinions on engine size and real world fuel figures seems to differ quite a bit. If you...

The fuel flap does not lock with the central locking, I can hear it click, I can see it move, I can physically push that red bar in the back and the pin pops out, then it pops back in with the remote, but won't stick out, tried wd40, any advice appreciated. Thanks Jet

Where will I be able to get my hands on Some genuine fuel pipe clips for the filter on my 220 CDI..:dk:Being a bit fussy I don't want to use jubilee clips,do they have an MB part No. ?

I've changed all the clear pipes, filter, pre filter. I've noticed air in the line from the fuel heater. Does this mean air could be coming in somewhere in the fuel tank? Thanks

Hi Folks Perhaps I'm missing the obvious but I cant see this in the owners book... When the low fuel warning light comes on how much fuel is left in the tank?

I have just serviced my C270CDi & whilst replacing the fuel filter the plastic clip holding the central fuel pipe in place snapped:fail....for the sake of a 2p clip I had to buy a new pipe for £24 from MB. Having spoken to a friend who is a mechanic he said this is a common problem!!! Is it...

The engine (W210 E220 cdi) does not start after I removed the no1 and no4 injectors out, and refit them using new copper washers and bolts; the injectors were leaking a bit and this is something that I have done on this engine a few times over the years. I never had any problems starting the...

A couple of days ago I placed a message on here requesting advice on how to sort out my fuel flap that got stuck on my W212 http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/electronics/204648-w212-fuel-flap-stuck.html The emergency release didn't work so I used brute force to open the flap. I then put lots...

Hi Everyone, Looking for your collective thoughts and experience on a recent issue..... been driving the car this week as per usual and have noticed when I shut the engine down after a normal journey, I get a strong petrol smell coming from the back of the car - drivers side.....I've let the...

Hi all, Really hoping someone can help me, the fuel cap cover on my 2015 E class coupe will not unlock no matter what I do. (Weirdly, it doesn't look like it's sitting flush with the bodywork either). Have tried everything I can think of, re locking / unlocking the car, unlocking while putting...

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me My 2012 W212 fuel flap is stuck closed and it wont open. I have pulled the emergency release in the boot but that wont release it either. I presume that the actuator pin has got stuck or simply doesn't work anymore. I did think it might be the fuse but I...

Hi Folks After a spirited drive today (1990 300ce) I could hear 'gas' escaping from the fuel cap, when I opened the fuel cap there was quite a pressure release.Is this a common occurrence ?

Afternoon all. Hopefully I'm in the right place. I've been searching for hours through forums, websites and eBay but can't find for certain what I'm after. My W203 died on me whilst driving yesterday. Its a 2003 C220 Cdi. The RAC managed to get me started again and the problem turned...
