hi i have a 1999 V plate 1.7 diesel A170 cdi 3 weeks ago i started getting problems with the running of the engine, after i stopped sometimes the car would not start for around 30mins, first off i thought it was CPS but after looking around noticed that the fuel coming out the fuel filter next...

Vacuum lines seem to always cause me problems on my cars. The car in question is a grey turbo technics 300te 24 which I now own. Its strange with half AMG bodykit (missing front bumper) and carat duchalet wheels. History shows it probably once had AMG rims and a different suspension as wheels...

Hi I am trying to change the fuel pipes on a 2000 E320 cdi. I have changed the one from the filter to the feed pump but the one from feed pump to hp pump and hp pump to rail are proving very difficult due to needing hands the size of Thumbelina and actually having them the size of Shrek...

I went to start the MB this morning, coughed once then refused to start:(. After a long phonecall with RAC (I didn't have home-start, but 1/2 a mile away would have been OK!!!!!???????) and £80 lighter the RAC man came and had her running within 20minutes but all the fuel lines have air flowing...

When i bought my S124 a few years back I failed to realise how much of a pain its MOT date of 22/12 was going to be...........should have put it in midsummer just so any further faults meant i wouldn't be stuck under it cursing throughout xmas. Broken spring and corroded brake lines...

Hope someone out there can help me. I have just purchased a 2000 W C220 CDI estate with automatic gearbox. It has just about all of the typical faults listed on this forum including intermittent BAS/ESP warning light, constant pull to the left, rusting wheel arches and a dodgy LCD display...

I checked my tyre pressures this evening. Last week I checked/inflated at Tesco and for simplicity I'll use a figure of 31psi. Tonight at a Total station the tyres had a reading of 27/8, so I inflated to 31. It became obvious that I had too much pressure in the tyres (hated the hard ride)...

i now have fuel lines are now starting to weep some fuel from the o rings any one know the size of these o rings its the plastic ones at the pump is there a how to ,that would show me how to change them

I have been replacing my fuel shut off valve and plastic fuel lines on a 1995/6 w124 300 diesel OM 606 engine. The fuel shut off valve has been leaking, and although fitting new o rings reduced the problem for a few weeks, the leak is still there. This causes difficult starting. I am...

My car lost all power again this morning on the way to work. Fortunately I was on a downhill stretch and 2-3 miles away from a roundabout and managed to kick down to 3rd and keep my foot down and a while later it started accelerating again and I had power. Upon arrival at work I had a look at...

Happens every time it snows,why do i find myself flashing my headlights at drivers to move over to their side of the road to avoid a head on collision just because they cant see the white line in the middle of the road.little snow and i always seem to meet the idiots on the road

I'm going to change the automatic gearbox oil in my C180. It's a 1999 model with 5 speed gearbox. I don't think it has a drain plug in the torque convertor, so I'm planning on changing the oil by running the engine & draining 1ltr of fluid at a time through the oil cooler lines. But which one...

I have a 1998 C250 TD which fails to start in very cold weather. I have traced this to the fuel lines which, when the car is left standing overnight, have air in them. Turning over the car will eventually start it, but often it needs a jump from another car to do this. I have replaced all of...

As above. My lovely merc coughed and spluttered to a standstill this morning. I noticed that there is a lot of air flowing through the clear plastic pipes next to the fuel filter. I'm pretty sure this is what's causing the problem but I'm not too sure how to bleed the air out. Any ideas...

i have now changed all my fuel lines on W124 OM606 E300d and want to start it up with manifold off to heat engine up to remove one stubborn glow plug. However it doesnt want to start presumably because there is no fuel getting to the engine. I can see in the clear lines none of them are full...

Can anyone please tell me which is the feed and return fuel lines on the above car. I have traced the lines and in the engine compartment and one looks as though it goes direct to the injection rail and the other goes to what I assume is a pressure regulator, Which one is the feed line?

Hi I have a minor fuel leak on my clear plastic pipes (ones that go to/from the fuel filter). I have replaced the 3 O-rings at the fuel filter and 1 at the pre-filter easily with VITON seals. This fixed the fuel leak at this end (which was squirting around the engine bay at one point...

I was wondering if replacing my brake lines with SS ones will improve braking response... What are your thoughts?
