leaking

after the full day of rain yesterday my roof started to leak! GREAT!, Does any one know how much to replace the seals on the clk w208 roof? the water was coming in over the front windows, where the roof meets the a frame. Im thinking i could fit these myself, but if i want this to work and...

Hi, I have a C180 from 2001 which has done 53000 miles. 10 days ago, the engine light came on and my local mercedes dealer said that the solenoid valve has been leaking oil into the camshaft and needs a LOT of stuff replacing and gave me a bill for over £2500!!! Not being content, I have...

Gents, Whilst replacing the rear shocks on my c class (202) CDI220 this weekend I noticed oil around the rear differential. Sods law is that the end plate from where it seems to be coming is half obscured by a cross member or something like that, does anybody know how easy it would be to...

Hi Folks, Some while ago i heard a hissing noise from behind the centre console area - followed by the air con stopping cooling. No probs ; need re-gas. The helpful folks at SAC in cov did a pressure test and told me it was leaking - so half charge with UV dye was administered, for tracing...

The fuel pump on my 210225 is leaking quite badly. It looks like it coming out from 2 places around a little black plastic cover on the side. I can't see how the cover is attached; there don't seem to be any screws or rivets or anything. Any idea what is behind this cover? How do you remove...

Can anyone help with a torque setting for the six mm Torx bolts that hold the clamps on the injectors. With on going problems over the last six months, the threads seem to be stripped. I'm about to 'helicoil' all four and would prefer to torque them correctly. Any other advice/experience of this...

Hi all, C180 W203 (2002) My Gearbox is still leaking, have had the electrical connector seal replaced and a new Gearbox Radiator. It now looks like the sump is leaking slightly....my garage thinks that the gearbox maybe over pressurising and will need a new ECU. Does this sound correct

I noticed the weekend whilst changing the rear brake pads that my O/S/R shock is weeping hydraulic fluid. It looks like its been like this for some time. My question is, how easy is it to replace the shock and should I replace both at the same time. Given they appear to be about £200 each, I'd...

I think my worst nightmare is happening, the heater matrix is leaking. There is a smell of radiator water in the car, windscreen mists up, and gurgling and wheezing sounds behind the dash, on top of this, water dripping under the car by the gearbox for some strange reason. No water inside car...

Because the weather has been horrible up here i was TOLD to put on the hard top. On Sunday we had a sunny dry day so managed it easy peasy smeared both seals on the top of the windscreen and on the front bottom edge of the hardtop with the dreaded petroleum jelly. BUT it is leaking like a...

Help I have a leaking Mercedes top box, its the long slim heavy one from about 2000 and it gets a puddle of water in the bottom, has anyone come across this before and hopefully how to fix it, the rubber gasket seems pliable and in good order!

I have a 2001 registered E240 estate. Both rear side windows leak badly when it rains. I have not has this car from new, but there is no evidence of any accident damage. It is also HPI clear. Has anybody experienced anything similar. Thanks Adam:confused:

The headlamp washers on my R129 have suddenly started dripping, the o/s one doing it at at the GTG on Sunday and the n/s one on the drive at home when I got back! Because they're both doing it I'm assuming it's something 'central' rather than a problem with the individual jet assemblies...

Hi there I have noticed over the last couple of days that there is a slight fluid leak from the underneath of the car when I've parked. It seems to be coming from roughly the middle, slightly towards the front. Once I have returned to the car (hours later) the leaking has stopped and there...

I noticed this weekend that there was a leak from below the engine bay of my E220. When i touched it, it was clear that it was not thick enough to be oil, but instead was diesel! Scary thought considering it could have ignited. It had leaked onto the plastic shield that sits underneath the...

OK guys, what do you make of this? I just pulled the plastic cover off the top of my engine (M112 V6) to discover rather a lot of what appears to be old oil all over the place. Is this something to worry about? Expensive repair coming up? I find she's drinking a fair amount of oil...

Something's been leaking from the car (w203) on to the driveway for a while now. I took it to the dealers, and they couldn't find anything wrong with it, saying that everything was perfectly fine from underneath. But I noticed a few fresh stains on the driveway this morning. I have no idea...

A friend's C220 CDI (2003) model is leaking some sort of fluid from the engine in small amounts (i cannot not make out if it is the coolant or engine oil unless it is doing both as there is a dark patch (of what appears to be engine oil in his garge that appears to have exited from a location...

My 250 D (W124) has had a diesel leak from somewhere in the engine bay since as long as I've had the car (about 4 months). The obvious fixes, such as replacing the leak off hoses and injector seals didn't cure the problem but it never really worried me until now. The car went in for its MOT...

Anyone reading the general section may have seen I've collected a '94 W124 (I think) 250D. The seller never mentioned the leaking windscreen seal and of course I never noticed it. It was sunny when viewing but the heavens opened on the way home and so it was easy to spot. the glass doesn't...
