gasket

Hi all, Will be replacing the head gasket in the coming weeks on my '94 W124 e220 Coupe. It has the M111 engine and I just need clarifying on a couple of things.... Does anyone know the exact part number for the Head Gasket Set I would need. I seem to be finding various different part...

Chaps Mine has broken off, is there a replacement for the stub and base gasket for the GPS arerial on the roof? I've seen a few on the usa ebay site but just wanted to know if they can be sourced in the uk? Thanks for the help on advance. Cabvw

It sounds like there is a slight blow from one of the manifold gaskets on my car, sounds more like the drivers side but is very minor, can't really notice it at tickover then if you put your foot down while driving can hear the tick a bit and it goes away again after about 3k rpm, it sounds more...

I'm about to bite the bullet and replace the head gasket on my E320. What I want to know is this; exactly what gaskets will I need to have ready to do the job. I know I need the timing cover gasket(s) head gasket (obviously) and the green U-shaped one but what else do I need (and do you know...

hi i have a blown head on my c180 the oil just started to turn but found it just in time how hard is the gasket to change I am not great with cars but have a hayens manual would I need to change the timing chain?

I notice oil seems to be coming out from the head gasket on my 300SE W126 so I'm wondering if I should have it done. Any idea how many labour hours this might be at a garage? Also, while it's off, should I have any other stuff done? Mine is a 1988 with just over 100k on the clock.

Hi all, First time post here so apologies in advance as this may be a very basic question. Never owned a Merc before (Had Saabs), so not really aware of the strengths weaknesses of certain engines. Basic summary is that I've found a 1989 W126 300 SE about 150 miles away from myself, but the...

Hi I'm trying to find a head gasket kit for an OM603 (1990 300TD). Can anyone point me to a reasonably priced source? Thanks

My 1990 300TD is leaking oil from (what looks to me like) the head-gasket just above the vacuum pump. There is no oil in the coolant etc. just a persistent drip. Is this an urgent problem, or can I leave it for a bit? Also, I've come across some advice that a blown head-gasket can cause a...

Evening all, I have a w124, 1994, e220 cab and the following headache....:doh: I think its time for the dreaded news...yes head gasket gone???:wallbash: I have oil (possible oil/water) leaking from the area just under the black cover with the silver merc sign on the front of the head of...

I'm no petrol head, but as I understand it, a head gasket is essentially a strip of rubber. So why on earth are they so costly to replace? I assume it's the labour cost?

For anyone that thinks their car head gasket might be faulty, a sniff test with a 4 gas analyser should detect combustion gas in the coolant but if you don't have access to one then a block test will give a pretty definitive result. I tested a cooling system today on one of my cars I've just...

Required for 1984 Mercedes 200T - 2 Litre - 4 cyl Or any recommended parts places that may have one? Thank you :thumb:

My wife's trusty C180 has been leaking coolant slightly. It was improved with K-seal. Just failed MoT due to lambda sensor being taken out by coolant in the exhaust. If anyone has pics or data about changing the head gasket, please help. I'm tempted to try and re-torque the headbolts. I've...

Hello I need to replace the rocker cover gaskets on my newly aquired 560sel. I have already bought them, it looks like a simple enough job but are there any hints or tips e.g do i need to use any sealant with them? Many thanks

Hi all, having tons of trouble getting the glowplugs out of my '98 c-class. There's oil blowing around a fair bit so I've decided on a gasket change. Can anybody provide a link whatever to get instructions on how to change it. It looks a reasonably straight forward job, I just need the idiot's...

Hi All, It looks as if I'll have to take the cylinder head off my 1998 250TD. One glowplug is snapped and two stuck in the thing. I've followed excellent advice from several other members to check the plugs out and find faulty ones. Seems they're all nacked and I have 5 new ones anyway. I was...

Bought in error so unfitted. Pictures + model number here. Likely to fit the 300D but do check first. No price, I don't know how much they are worth so get the best price you can then I'll knock a 1/3 off and do free postage. :thumb: Adings - Mercedes 250D Diesel Sump gasket (official)

Oh joy. 1990 300TE... Ok...get this. I blew my head gasket the old fashioned way...overheating due to coolant hose blowing. So I try one of those chemical head gasket repair things by a popular radiator seal company. You empty the radiator, add water and this stuff. The car heats up and...
