fuel

Would the above help mpg much if I covered filter with the foil insulation used behind domestic radiators? After a 7 mile drive yesterday the filter was tepid at best and with the colder weather and viscous fan in that area I wonder if insulating would be worth it and be safe now and in summer etc..

Hi, Im still trying to fix my w210 e230cdi. Thanks to all of the advice im armed with the correct tools and have some codes and some way forward. The car now wont start which is good as previously ive bee trying to trace a fault thats not apparent. Can anybody tell me the minimum fuel...

It's a funny old world, the price of oil is falling falling, we should be happy...but we are doomed. Anybody else worried about this, or am I alone?

Evenin' all. I need to do a cylinder compression test on my 1994 SL500 (base module unit, not OVP). Is there an easy way to disable the fuel injection temporarily so that it does not fuel while I am cranking the engine over?

Got pump off yesterday and stripped it out. Took longest to clean up all surfaces than to fit the repair kit. Only real problem I encountered was fact that she would not start and i had to fully charge my battery twice. First thing this morning still no joy. Who said these cars self bleed...

I have fuel leaking from one of the three ports on my High Pressure Fuel Pump. I have decided to overhaul the pump using the MB seal kit. However there appears to be two different numbers banded about on the forums? Part Number: A 000 078 06 80 to be used on pumps produced up to 17/7/2001...

Motorists insist Tesco to blame for fuel breakdowns in Faversham

How much have others managed to get into their CLS 218 fuel tanks? The most I've ever managed is just over 70 litres. Is the tank really 80 litres? what happens when I don't refuel after the fuel warning goes red (miles-left range no longer shown). Is there some kind of reserve? Is there really...

Hi can anyone tell me where i can find a detailed description and drawings of the fuel system used on my 1992 500sl please. Ie parts used and process, its a Bosch system fitted. Im trying to track down potential culprits for a poor warm running issue. Thanks

Official figures state 33mpg My first fill up since purchasing the car clk 200 coupe automatic 57 plate, achieved 26.9 mpg :eek: total miles done since fill up 316.7 miles - light footed driving, very occasionally I would give it some welly As its the revised m271 engine I would have...

I replaced the thermostat on my w208 CLK320 the other day, simple job and all was well, heater nice and toasty. I was feeling a little smug and pleased with my handiwork, basking in the warm air wafting from my vents. Today I had to drive to Heathrow, mid afternoon, plenty of time, so...

Hi, Not sure if someone can advise me here: Driving down the A9/M9 in torrential rain this morning and the 'Clean Fuel Filter' warning message flashed up on the screen. I've left the car all day in dry and windy conditions, started it up this evening and no message now. Phoned up...

One of the ironies of the internet is that the more information one can find the more one seeks to check it for accuracy, normally online. I am planning fitting a Megasquirt ECU and new fuel injection to my W114 Coupe, which currently runs Bosch D Jetronic. This requires me to size new fuel...

Hi all, Just wanted to do a quick fact finding poll especially with M111 engine owners regarding your fuel rail setup, specifically the fuel pressure regulators. I own a 1995 W202 C180 Elegance with the M111.920 engine, with MPS (Manifold Pressure System is what that is I believe) and no MAF...

The first R230s apparently had a fuel tank fitted that had either no baffles or too few baffles allowing fuel to slosh around in the tank too freely which apart from all else could be heard from within the cabin.......consequently the fuel tank was modified for later cars with additional...

Just replaced the fuel filter and glow plugs on my S320 this evening. Ever since I bought the car a few weeks ago, the glow plug light stayed on for a few minutes after driving. Longer than normal anyway. Also, when the weather turned cold, it took a good bit of cranking to get the car...

Has anyone had any experience with Archoil AR6400 Pro Petrol Cleaner PEA Concentrate I've generally seen good reviews for the product but nothing specific to the CLK320 (W208); double checking just in case. Although i use premium fuel and i appreciate some will say to not bother, for peace of...

Hi I have a 1996 E300 Diesel Automatic, the immobiliser seems to be in trouble, I've the disc batteries and the fob isn't transmitting when viewed through a digital camera. Sadly the car isn't worth the expense of a new key in the hope it'll make things better again although it would be a great...
