head

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...

Hi folks, I decided I couldn't stand the Audio20 in my CLK and swapped it for an Alpine ILX-700 CarPlay unit at the weekend. I wanted to try installing it myself ready for a few hours driving the following day. I used the Connects2 installation kit for the W209 and the install seemed to go...

So I'm taking my car for a service next week at my dealer. I have spoken to them about the head bolt issue and have asked them to change them while they've got the car. My car is fine and hasn't displayed any of the symptoms associated with the head bolts issues. I am wanting them to change...

Hello MBClub. First post. Recently purchased a new kit so I can finally stay on top of repair work. The kit I purchased is the Bahco 94 Piece Socket & Spanner Set Heaps in the kit and great value. Only Issue is I have never seen the Flex head spanners in use before and have been...

I've been in the market for a c63 for a few months. Ideally looking at facelift but my budget is only stretching to the early facelifts and estates under 30k are thin on the ground. I'm tempted to look at a few pre-facelifts. Does anyone know the cost of the head bolt job?

Hi all, I sold my CLS , dipped my toe into the Audi market, but now back with an 09 facelift CLS. Anyway onto my issue, its got a newer head unit than my previous CLS , I believe this one is the NTG2.5 or something ? When I start the car it takes a goof 60-90 seconds for any sound to come from...

I have a broken head bolt on my 37k mile 2008 SL63. It all started with a "Top up coolant" warning as I was driving up the M1. Thank God for my MB Tier 1 warranty :crazy:

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...

Hi all I am looking for a replacement command unit NTG-2 for my car. Any suggestions as to where to source appreciated. If I purchase a replacement will it need any coding or just plug in and play as it is a direct replacement. Also need to know is it possible to use the car with the...

Hi Guys, Bit of help, pse. I have an E220 Classic with the bog standard radio/CD unit. Can I just swap this out for the more capable Elegance/Avant Gard unit (E CLASS COMMAND DVD NAVIGATION UNIT 2118276242)? I also have the single CD player - will this need replacing for the multi player as...

When our 2003 CLK's Comand screen failed, I sent it to be repaired by Maple Audio. Unfortunately when it needed a further warranty repair, Hermes lost the parcel in transit, so I decided to fit a more up to date radio/GPS unit instead. I chose a Windows CE-based 7 inch touchscreen...

My 2006 Mercedes CLK350 Cabriolet has a problem with the rear headrests. The mechanism which raises and locks the headrests into the “risk of rollover” position works well and I recently had to lower them both after a non-Mercedes garage set them off by jacking the car. The problem is with the...

Hi all, I need two new key heads for existing keys. I bought two from Ebay but they are too small - the part numbers of the heads I bought - A0007664406. I have since been informed this part number does not relate to my chassis number. Has anyone replaced their key heads on an r107? and if...

Hi All, Has anyone replaced the stock head unit with an Android type? I am contemplating doing this as pricing for such units has reduced massively over the years. One small concern possibly is that the stock head unit interfaces with the dash, ie for setting the clock. Could this be...

Taken out 12x head bolts, the head is loose, and I can lift it 1/2 inch or so, but something is holding it at the rear. Seems like a thin steel tube is attached to the head (like a brake or fuel line) at the back, near the exhaust manifold. I need primarily to know how to remove it, and...

Hi. 2001 clk convertible 230k. The rear head rests are stuck up. Tried the 8 second fix and the 15 second fix holding the switch up and down as per other forums say.. Nothing. No holes down the side to hit some sort of re set switch. I can hear the motors running but not engaging. Is an Allen...

Hi, I had asked for assistance with poor (no) FM reception after installing an after-market Head Unit and received excellent assistance to identify that I needed to connect an additional 'switch-on' supply to specific wires leading to the Audio Gateway ... oh, a 2005 SL350 with (now removed)...
