I purchased a 2002 c230k coupe in February, 70k miles. The engine is the m111
A few days after purchase an engine light came on. The used car dealership I bought it from booked it into a garage round the corner. The mechanic said the code referred to a vacuum leak but he couldn't find...
Welcome everyone. I have a small leak from the timing chain cover but mechanic told me it is the cover on the bottom. It is not the oil pan but timing chain cover. I know how to get out the top cover but I have no clue how to get it to the bottom one. My computer with SD is away from me now and...

The 124 has gone into my Garage to assess work required to Pass The MOT whilst looking at how to remove the Cat by the manifold Downpipes I noticed this
Started her up and Felt and it certainly feels like its leaking there with the manifold heat shield on it was invisible But I removed it to...
Howdo Guys,
I'm somewhat concerned the oil from the filter will contaminate the MAF. I've heard so many conflicting tales & views over the years I'm really unsure about using any oiled filter, not just K&N.
Anybody, with specific experience using one on the M111 or the M111 K ,it would be...

As the trusty 124 marches on @ 227K now I was wondering what the life of the Timing chain was & or the Tensioner. Should I be considering renewal? The Engine does have a rattle, especially cold

Hi. Was wondering why my 2001 CLK 230K apparently has no EGR valve.
Did a parts search and enquired at my parts dealer and apparently there are no EGR valves on my model.
I know there are on a SLK 230K of the same year and 2002-2003.
Can anyone help ?
Hi
Using about a litre of water a week and lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust so I've made the decision to change the head gasket.
Done a lot of reading on this and other forums so am more or less ready but have a few questions I hope someone can help with:
1. I have a large slide...

So I have be chasing down the problem for quite a while now. Changed the MAF (original Bosch), CPS, Injectors, Ignition...

Hi,
Starter has just gone on my C230K, I,m happy changing it but is it easier to do from above which i think will require removing stuff, or can it be gotten to easier from underneath the car?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
This post is to be added to the pile of 'poor idle' threads that can be found on this forum - perhaps it might help others solve a very common and often an extremely persistent problem with their W124.
This post relates to 4 cylinder M111 engines like mine, and the 6 cylinder units built post...

Hi. I've been searching for this piece of info and can't find references anywhere so perhaps someone here would know ?
Does the evo M111 230K engine (in post 2000 W208s) have a MAP pressure sensor, as well as a transmission slip and wheel spin sensor, like the M271 engines ?
Been trying to...
