My car is taking an age to warm up on these less than pleasant days. I think it's safe to assume the thermostat is past its teutonic prime.
I freely admit this is the worst type of forum question because I could get off my lazy behind and go look but ........
Where is it?
Any hints or tips...
Part 1
If this has been done before I apologise for the duplication.
I bought my C240 a few weeks ago and while it has a service history and the oil was changed about 2000 miles ago it was well over a year ago. So. oil change time.
You're going to need, oil, an oil filter, an oil filter...
My 2000 C280 V6 has all the symptoms of a slightly sticking thermostat. One of the indy's I've used says he's never changed a stat on a M112 engine, which I find surprising. He has warned me that attempting to do this may result in having to replace the water pump assembly. Frankly, I think this...
Hello All
My new to me C240 has a little tappet rattle when first starting from cold. Goes after 2 or 3 seconds of running and no noise at all when warm. I've had other cars that did this as the tappets tended to drain and it didn't seem to be a problem. The car had an oil change just before I...
It's that time to do a plug change on the c240 (2.4).
What plugs can I put in this?
* Mercedes (££££££££)
* NGK PFR5G-11 (OEM, so same as Mercedes).
Does anywhere know a good place to get these? I can find them on ebay for around £5.20 each, but I am wary to buy from there due to the...
M112 engine has a manufacturing defect, or what this is.
I have the same symptoms as a link M112.
I'm told my problem this forum thread C320 Knock Knock Knock
Is this connecting rod or piston slap or normal fault?
That is very strange ----> Why do so many of the car and the same...

we came up with more questions than asnwers however, so has anyone fitted the supercharger from a c class onto an sl? if so any advise wold be...
Ive been meaning to make a thread on this since I got the car. - the same applied to my brothers W208 320
When I start up my car from cold I normally have to wait a good 1 or 2 mins for the Revs to reduce from 1500rpm to under 1000rpm. and if I move off before this braking is alot harder and...
G'day all,
There is a ticking/tappety like sound (i'm convinced) from the toppish area of the oil fill area on my motor so that would be on the right sight of the V6 of the M112 motor, if facing !!
There is surprisingly no noise when its cold but is present when warm/hot. Now the strange thing...
One of the other members helped me out a few months ago with regard to the oil filter element for my M111 engined C200 (It was grober who assisted). I now need to do a similar oil and filter change on my M112 V6 C280. Is it going to be as per the C200 without washers and things? I have a feeling...
Hello, just wondered what plugs i should go for in my 2001 SLK320 ?? I have searched the Forum, both makes get positive remarks, some say that NGK were OEM on my vehicle ? Many thanks in advance, regards Damian. :D
PS - Took one out today, it has NGK in at the moment !
I have had a tiny oil leak for the past year at the front of my engine. Yesterday/today my car has had a major service/MOT (which it sailed through of course :) ) and, after speaking to my mechanic he showed me where he thinks the leak is coming from.
After looking at the engine diagrams on...

I have a '98 C240 which has one of the dodgy crankshaft pulleys. The part number which you can see on the pulley is A112 035 00 00. Apparently this number along with A112 035 06 00 was subject to a recall in the States due to the outer metal rim coming off the inner one... there is an elastomer...
