The new 190E has original MB 8-hole alloys. I suspect they've never been refurbed before (18 years old) and have a lot of brake dust build up in the holes. I gave them a quick wash down, then used a little TFR that I had hanging about, pressure washer etc. Doesn't seem to have budged it...

My CLK 320 has developed heavy steering (when stationary or slow) and the pump sounds a bit noisier than it should. Has anyone experienced this before? There are no leaks and the fluid is at the correct level.

I'm back :bannana: Previously a C-class W202 now this little Beaut... A few questions Why does my CLK have these black lines down the side, Do I Need sidesills to cover them up (unsightly) Already looking at wheels as the ones it came with I do not like + the other set it came with...

2004 e320 cdi w211 Have taken for engine diagnostics and had faults cleared, engine management light. Unfortunately by bad coincidence upon leaving indie steering is very heavy, indie checked tyres, belt, fluid level etc but nothing obvious. Steering remains constantly stiff at whatever...

As old as the internet but fair play to the builder :thumb: For anyone thats not seen this it's quite interesting Built in Poland so no real write up etc as to what was done - just pics

Hi Again Forum, Ever since I have owned the car, I get a Big cloud of smoke under heavy long acceleration. It will continue to pump up smoke until I release the gas. Highly visable at night in a rear view mirror. The car runs perfectly fine, no smoke on idle or normal driving. This does not...

So it's that time of year when kids want to go to the beach etc so my trusty old estate comes out for that duty so they don't trash our regular wheels. However the power steering is almost non existent. Fluid is full no signs of any leaks although the fluid is very dark. Any one got an idea what...

How heavy would you say a set of 4 AMG I 17" Alloys & Tyres roughly are?

Hey all. just back from a long weekend away which was great, but what greeted me was not so great. Left the car at the airport with the hard top on whilst away - have come back and the damn drivers footwell is wet (not swimming in water, but not far off). :mad: It's damp on the right hand...

Hi All, My friends W124 Cab has a problem where the tombstone headrests pop up after heavy acceleration. has anyone encountered this before and if so what was the fix, I'm thinking a sensor of some sort or a module. any help welcome. Thanks in advance K

Some of you may remember my recent thread HERE, regarding my parents' Mercedes CL420. After the car was trailered back home, it was put in the garage until the weather improved - well yesterday was it's first day out. After a quick wash and detail spray, I brought it out of hiding to take some...

Folks I've got a significant misfire on acceleration and the car (a '93 600SEC) doesn't want to go anywhere near the red line. If I ease off the throttle a little, then the engine seems happier. I'm also getting less miles per gallon than I should. I don't have an exhaust gas analyser though...

Hi, This is my issue: 1. From cold start, my steering feels fine. Slight excessive noise when moving steering wheel, but feels ok. 2. When car is up to temperature, and car is at idle, steering feels heavy to the point that there is no assistance, i can move the wheel 20 degrees say and...

I will just start by saying I have added much of this to 117's W203 post today, Humble aploogies for any duplication for viewers. My E300TD 170k has developed a hard vibration and deep noise at idle around 600 rpm when the revs are increased a touch it goes away. During starting and stopping...

Has anyone with a W124 experienced heavy steering problems after lowering their car down? This problem keeps happening after 10 - 15 mins of driving once the engine warms up to 80C and the fan starts to kick in :confused:. Ive renewed the power steering oil and put a new power steering filter...

These have only been on the car for a week, as new condition. I still have the original boxes for these in good condition. Here are the codes... 2 x Bilsten B4 V36-0361 Front Shock Heavy Duty 2 x Bilstein B4 B36-1385 Rear Shock Heavy Duty These are OEM so they are the perfect replacement for...

A bit of a bizarre request, but if you dont ask.......! I run the local cricket club, after last years floods we are now without our Pitch roller. So if anyone has one/knows of one sitting and doing nothing then I am definately interested. I have seen the awesome power of the members on this...
