gasket

Looking for some advice; I have a 190 1.8 which I bought unseen off EBay last November, a nice car on the face if it. Was 6 months until I got round to looking at it, head gasket gone. I had the head skimmed and head gasket done by a local garage, still seems to be losing coolant. Questions is...

Hello guys. I have done my breather covers valve cover gasket a while ago, all was fine but i noticed the valve cover leaking a bit even if gasket was new (aftermarket ), i retorqued everything to 8nm the leak has reduced a bit but still leaks, i bought a new genuine Mercedes gasket today and...

My CLK W209 is a 2003 How can I check if my Vin is affected by the Valeo issue as I'd rather be same than sorry. I believe it's £300 for a new Behr radiator but how do I know peevish owners haven't changed it before? Any easy way to check? Come to think of it though even if it has the Valeo...

The engine in question is a 111.945 (2l) Here goes: Undertray removed. The grime may well be the result of the oil escaping past the head gasket. And we’re stuck. I can’t get the exhaust manifold bolts out. According to the Haynes manual it does have to come off because the manifold...

Hi I have been seeing quite a loss of coolant in my car (2003 estate) and did some digging around yesterday. All I can find is that the expansion tank was damp underneath, so it may be leaking through the cap when under pressure. However, I put over a litre in and it still wasn't quite up to...

Gents, the 560 sec I've owned for all of 2 weeks has what I believe to be a failed or failing head gasket. Main symptoms are continuos white smoke with a slightly sweet smell to it from cold idle, even when left idling long enough to for temps to reach 60 deg c. Took it on an a-road blast...

Hello all, I own a W124 E220 Coupe registered in 1996. Currently I am in the process of stripping the engine to replace the head gasket and I am now @ the point of locking the camshafts....... but......everything I've read online states that the camshafts are locked when the crank aligns @...

Hi all Im new here. I have a CLC 1.8 Kompressor. W203. There was a message saying top up coolant which i kept doing but when i took it to mecahnics he said it was probably an air lock. Turns out that the coolant/water has been leaking into cylinder 3 because the engine management light kept...

Do I need to use a torque wrench for the nuts when changing the valve cover gasket or can I just do it by 'feel' ? :confused:

Can anybody tell me if the throttle body gaskets on my 55k are reusable or a replacement will be required? Thanks

It has been a little over a month since my head gasket change and I am pleased with the results. I had a coolant leak at the back of the head at the fire wall. The engine runs much more smooth, the coolant system holds pressure and quantity and pulls to red line as it should. After the first...

Hi all Firstly, wishing all members a very happy and trouble free New Year :thumb: My car is a 2005 E320 CDi with the V6 engine. On the top is a Y shaped plastic tube connecting the two air boxes to the turbo. At the turbo end is a red gasket (seal) and also a smaller one to the side...

So my '96 E220 coupe is finally demanding I spend a whole wedge of money on it... It has been drinking large quantities of coolant so I took it to a West London specialist and they've diagnosed the CHG. Head will need a skim and it turns out it also needs a new timing chain (it's stretched)...

I'm no expert mechanically so seeking some further opinions. My M102 E200 has some cream in the coolant, you can just about see it on the top of the bottle itself. It has also consumed some oil, I should of checked how much as I topped it up today but it was certainly a noticeable amount on...

First, thanks for having me on your forum. I'm a Yank, working in Sicily, Italy, driving a MB! (Go figure!) I've already got the head removed without issue. I found the head gasket leaking at the back of the head, no codes, no water in the oil and no signs of steam/water in the exhaust. The...

Hi, Can any tell me if there's a gasket or sealing ring that goes between the center exhaust section and the CAT on a W203 or point me towards a diagram or list of exhaust parts? The back box is blowing at one of the welds so I need to remove the rear exhaust section, investigate and then...

So, after losing coolant for a while i narrowed it down to the top rad hose connected to the thermostat, so i replaced that. That somewhat sorted the problem but the car was still running hotter than usual esp during standstill, so i suspected the thermostat and i changed that. still...

Probably been mentioned before but serious enough to say it again. The pan gasket on my E63 MCT gearbox failed 6,000 miles after a gearbox service & had it not been for the fact that it was in the air at EMP for exhaust work I would never of known as the drips when stationary were almost zero...

Still looking for a GPS Antenae, Short stubby type, with Housing Cap ( Any colour as I can always spray it ) and Rubber Gasket to fit between the Cap and the Car Roof.

Trying to buy a replacement GPS Roof Mounted Antennae Gasket, just need the rubber Gasket which is a bit weather worn, the only one I can find is if you buy the Cap, Antennae and Gasket for about £ 30.00 I only need the Gasket replacing and this sounds damn expensive for a rubber Gasket. Any...
