Hi, anyone know the type of refrigerant gas in AC on my car please..(no manual) R134A or R1234YF are the only 2 options , i am guessing? regards, Brian Hammonds.

Hi, My W211 E-270Cdi is due for Exhaust Gas Analysis. The mileage is 160k (km) It was due in Mar 2016 but dealer didn't do the analysis and set the next due date as Feb 2017. Could someone let me know how these analysis are performed? I know this much from reading the forums that they check...

Car went into limp mode on saturday. Had to drive 130 miles at 50mph. Couldn't find my OBD2 bluetooth ELM327 so decided to use my old wired one. Scantool no longer work and no drivers for windows 10. Finally found the easyobdII with the reset...

Do you know anyone who will do this for less than 50 quid nowadays? I live in Oxford, commute to London and Cambridge. Thanks

Hi Everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me with a persistant hot start problem on my 1988 300E, W124 with the M103 gas engine. I’ve had my car for about 10 years. It has 120,000 Km on it. It is a German model with the adjustable EZL-KAT resistor. The car was built in late 1987. Since I’ve had...

Hi, I have an issue where the Boot Lid on my SL350 will not stay open, but continually falls on my head - I need to replace the Boot Lid Gas Struts where they even have their Part Number conveniently written on them (Q7 A230 750 0036). My question concerns the fact that I have (in error)...

Hi, My boot separator on my CLK seems to pop back open every time I close it. I have had a quick look online and believe this to be the gas struts that hold it open. Has anyone else had this problem also is there a how to on changing them? Thanks. Albert.

Very funny! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vog7yDmcDNQ&feature=youtu.be

Hi again... Could a STAR diag machine pinpoint source of a gas leak at component level, ie condenser, pump etc? I have a leak and can't locate it with dye as not able to pressurise the system sufficiently via a canister due to the large escape of the refrigerant and the short operation of the...

Nitrogen gas filled tyres, anyone done this and taken their car on track, in the quest for more traction, been advised by my local tyre place to do this for my next track day. Must confess to being a little nervous to doing this at such short notice, without experiencing what the changes...

I replaced my lazy S211 tailgate struts today. Here are a few notes which might help you if you are considering the job yourself. It took me about an hour to do the first side and 15 minutes to do the next side as by then I knew what I was doing. I got the new ones from ebay, listed as Febi...

The boot lid on my 1997 300SL no longer pops up on opening and I guess there's something amiss with the gas strut. How many are there - 1 or 2 (one per side) - and are they difficult to replace?

Hello there MB enthusiasts, I joined this forum today as I have a problem with my MB C270. Also, I don't know if there is any similar/same thread so I just made a new one. So, I drive this Mercedes Benz C270 2003 Avantgarde, and the problem is that whenever I fully push the gas pedal (e.g...

I have had a poke about in the search and haven't come with anything definitive. I have been quoted £85 per side for struts and four hours labour for changing them. I can get the struts cheaper and I understand from the search that it isn't necessary to drop the entire headlining which saves...

Has anyone ever converted the old CL model to LPG ? are there any issues that I should be aware of as I am considering it, petrol costs would be outside budget unfortunately Cheers John

I took the W208 in for MOT today, the EC light (on the Climate control panel) has been on for a while, and I knew the Air Con most likely needed a regas. So i took it to my local Good Garage Guide garage who do MOT's to have the work done, as I did not really feel the trip down to Olly in...

Anyone purchased a can of air con gas and got some left in your can R134a ??????????????????

How do I manually open the fuel/ gas door? The pump for the central locking system has died but before the new one arrives I need to get more fuel in the car (W220 S320 petrol). I've had a look under the right hand side boot carpet and can't find anything to release the lid. Can someone give...

I've got a c270 and the air con doesn't seem too good at the moment is it R134A in there if so I have some at work I can use, anyone no?
