howto

I spotted this on another forum and thought I'd give it a go. Heres the thread. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w210-e-class/1305149-headlight-lens-restore.html I'll not dwell on the words too much as the pictures are mostly self explanatory. Tools required - 8mm socket (long), medium flat...

At 176,000 miles the engine mounts could do with changing. The car shakes slightly when the engine is killed, and the steering wheel vibrates gently when idling. Not things a Merc should do. Job should take about 2 hours, no more. Tools required: Ramps Scissor jack (or trolley jack but...

The car is still surging on startup on cold mornings, as well as the occasional rough idle - all goes away when warm. So I thought I'd clean the EGR system out a bit. My car is a W210 with the OM606 TD engine (3.0 turbo diesel). The EGR system recirculates exhaust gasses to reduce emissions...

A couple of bulbs had gone, in the heater panel, and the cigarette lighter. Heres how to replace them: Tools required: 1 small philips screwdriver, 2 thin flat bladed screwdrivers, car radio keys, soldering iron, copper braid, replacement bulbs. If you're no good at soldering, either find a...

I was bored and I've never gotten around to doing this, so I thought I might as well. Apparently the wiper mechs on Mercs with single blades can dry up over time, which can lead to corrosion and eventual seizure. You can imagine what Mercedes would charge for a replacement! Someone had...

Right, as I'm having problems with my aircon (blowing intermittently hot on driver's side) I thought I'd check out the duovalve to see if it was working correctly. Feel free to point out any stupid errors I've made, but this is what I did: 1) The duovalve from what I understand controls...

Hi guys, is there a how to, to remove the plastic bit in the grille? many thanks... Zak

Feel free to point out any glaring mistakes I made while doing this :) My engine has been playing up a bit, surging when cold in the morning, occasional misfire. Chief suspect (and cheapest to investigate) was the MAF, cleaning it would certainly do no harm. So heres what I did: First, open...

I was tasked with getting into a W208 that had an abused boot lock and totally dead battery. Having asked questions here in the Forum I set about achieving todays task. This is a howto on how I managed to do it. Remove the door foot strip by pulling upwards from the rear (more room for...

Well following on from my MAS (Mass Air Sensor) thread a few months ago, I've finally got around to changing it using a Pierburg replacement for the original Bosch unit. MB part no: A112 094 00 48 - £238.93 from dealer. :mad: Approx £340 fitted. Bosch part no: 0 280 217 515 - £247.00 from...

Did the job today, although I was really a spectator as my mate did most of the work. Its actually quite straightforward, and I took some piccies as well. Most of the piccies are from the rear, looking forward (you can see the exhaust and cat on the right). 1) Make sure the engine and...

Anyone have a HOWTO remove the aerial mast for the usual MB checks - when the radio is switched on or off I can hear the motor noises (normal sounding, actually sounds quite ok, not high pitched or grinding) from the driver seat but the mast hasnt moved in a year. the retractable shaft is black...

HI All, I have just changed the front disks on my CLK55 AMG myself and thought that I would make a write up for others. Please bear in mind that I am not a professional and feel free to comment where you believe I may have slipped up. 1) Loosen the wheel nuts on the front wheel before...
