Hi Guys,
Yet another problem. Basically my power steering fluid would run low and the steering would start making a whining noise so booked it in to a garage who couldnt spot a leak then took it to another garage and the mechanic said the power steering is leaking... ok so happy he found the...
Hi all only joined the other day..
I have a leak in passenger side on my w202 saloon! A year ago I looked on you tube when I had this issue, about leaves blocking up the water channel then over flowing into the heater motor! I looked and it was clogged up! I've emptied it but everytime it...
Guys, I have a slight oil leak from my 2002 ML270cdi.
I noticed it as it was dropping a small drop of oil onto the driveway.
On further inspection, oil is all down the side of the engine block. So if you are standing at the front looking towards the windscreen, it's the right hand side of the...
Sometime in the summer I had a couple of times when the engine would start, but immediately die again.I had to turn over the engine many times before it would eventually start, with periodic glows inbetween.
After those couple of times it seemed to rectify itself & was fine.
Until a couple of...
Could smell diesel on occassions for months now but no sign of a leak anywhere.Sometimes poor starting too.
Today things came to a head. Big smell and upon examination, the clear plastic line above aux belt is leaking quite badly.
I want to change all clear ones in engine bay as they are...
The car is a 1994 R129 SL500, with LE-Jetronic fuel injection. If you've seen my other thread, yes, that R129, but I think I'm getting there now.There is still a bit of a misfire, despite the engine loom having been renewed, but I dare say that will clear with a good run. The car has done two -...
Noticed what I thought was oil on my front bumper/grille
On closer look it looks like its coming from the pipes behind the grille, that go into 3 small radiators. I assume this is the power steering?
The liquid really smells as well.

Hi. I hope there is someone really clever who can help: sunroof of (or something else) A160 2010 leaking inside on the left front pillar.
Been to garage twice - checked it myself but cant find the reason. It only leaks in when car is not level and leaning forward (our street).
Lowered the...
2004 c180 coupe kompressor, had the oil replaced, new genuine copper sump seal washer purchased from Mercedes, however oil is still weeping from the nut/seal
Any ideas what is causing this, does it need to be seated/aligned to the nut in a particular way?
I wasn't sure where to put this but it is in the engine bay, I have a slow drip which I think is coming from the nearside headlamp washer hose, is it easy to remove the washer bottles so I can get better access ? also is the smaller 1.6 litre bottle just for the headlamps ? I also don't get any...
Hello,
I'm new here and I was given a 2001 E240 Merc couple of years ago and all was ok until a few days ago. I don't drive the car much, in fact I've only done around 1000 miles since I've had it so its sitting in the driveway most of the time. A few days ago I took for a 4 mile journey and...
Afternoon all,
New member here, looks like a treasure trove of information. Hopefully someone can help!
I've recently bought a C-Class estate (2008 C180k Sport) with the electric tailgate.
I've gone out to the car this morning and the boot is soaking with standing water in the wheel...

Another problem with my E Class :doh: after reading the cdi lack of power sticky I started checking all vac pipes, boost pipes etc because it felt like it was NA a lot of the time, changed a few Vac pipes cleaned up and checked actuator and vanes, after that the actuator had full movement when...
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...
