Hi all First post; bought my first merc (c270 cdi avant garde) five months ago and am loving it, but (in the engine section there had to be a but, didn't there)...:) Having noticed smell of diesel for past couple of days in cabin and around car after a journey had a look under engine cover...

The other night it rained heavily whilst the car was parked. In the morning I got into the car all was good...until I turned into a corner! Water gushed out like out of a bucket!!! It lasted for 30 seconds, trickling away. It hasn't happened since. I read somewhere that leaves can block the...

Hi All, Did an oil change on my Mum's 211 recently. Whilst under there, I noticed that there was a small amount of oil on what I think is the autobox?? There was also a very small patch on the plastic undertray cover at that same location. I'm talking about a few inches back from the...

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I have a question about the ML. Does this look like a leaking battery? I think it is, however would like to be told it isn't. Please see attached. Kind Regards dokalj

Hi chaps as the title says my CLK 230 Kompresssor is leaking fuel from one of the components at the rear of the car. I am not sure what is back there but i'm assuming that there is a pump and filter amongst the pipes and tank. At the moment it only leaks during the first start of the day after...

I have a 2000 C320 (?W124) which started to leak water into the passenger footwell but it is getting a lot worse. It comes in on the left and the right corner of this footwell and is literally just pouring, soaking two towels in no time when driving. Seems to be worse after rain or carwash...

Hi there first time on any sort of forum so still in the sussing out how it works. Was wondering if its relativity easy to change the condensor on my 99 c230k auto and if its possible to change by shifting water rad back a bit to gain access to condensor or do I have to remove water rad...

Hi all, I have a W210 with a leak from the outlet seals on top of the injection pump! Has anyone changed these seals themselves? If so what is involved? and do you need any specail tools? Thanks. Terry

Hello, My wing mirror (drivers side) is in one piece, but seems to be leaking so that the bottom half of it is a tinted brownish colour, the other half is standard. I just want to replace it as it doesn't look great and I figure it wont pass an MOT. I don't really care if it is tinted, etc...

Hi, looking for some pointers here. I recently purchased a CLK cabrio and during todays heavy rain I now have a drip coming from the drivers window. It's not were the window meets the seal it's in about an inch (basically the roof) were the black rubber strip meets the headlining & plastic...

Hello, I need to replace the Oring at the shaft in the steering colomn as its leaking. From whar I can see, the top piece is held by only 2 allen type bolts and the piping for the fluids. Can this be lifted without any bother? What should I expect if I pull it out? Any spring/ things that goes...

Hi, Steam is coming out of the interior fan vents. I presume that the heater core has ruptured. Can anyone advise of a quick fix without removal? Can anyone advise on how to remove the heater core? Many thanks in advance, Graham

Hi all, I'm looking for a little advice here, as a second seal has started to leak/let by. I had the front one done by a local diesel specialist at a cost of £320 and although it fixed the problem (for now) I was kind of expecting them to clean the carbon residue off the entire area, but they...

I've been getting quite a bit of water in the rear n/s footwell - blocked sunroof drains suspected. However I've also found a hole in the sunroof seal which is obviously letting the water in. Any oadvice on the best place to source the seals (if they're still availalbe) and costs? Is...

Hi Guys Unable to find any info on this so here's what I did, after some faffing 1) drive front of car onto ramps. 2) syphon out all the fluid you can from the fluid container on the right hand side next to the screen washer. A 2 litre ice cream tub is big enough. 3) Get a drip tray...

Hi all, I bought a 1999 R170 last weekend and it has developed leaks :doh: First leak (day 2 of ownership) was a small puddle on shelf above seatbelt harness on drivers side. This leak has not happened again Second leak (day 3) was on passenger side from hinge in roof, dripping onto...

Hi, Noticed this week some red fluid on the floor of the garage below the engine which I assume to be from the power steering. Looks like it is dripping off the back of the fibreglass protection plate underneath. Is this likely to indicate some sort of terminal failure of the power...

Due to the recent cold weather my battery gave up and I had to replace it. When I pulled it out from under the rear seat I found that it had leaked acid (thick layer of white powder) and corroded the floor panel that the battery sits on. When I looked closer I found that the sealed battery had...

I posted this in the electronic section and I'm not sure If I can post this also in this section, If I'm wrong please correct me. The other day when I started the engine with the bonnet open I noted a strange noise coming from the left hand side of the engine, I called my local MB mechanic...
