Getting squeeks from the belt on low rpm when e.g. turning to full lock, belt is new and tightener roll also. Therefor suspecting the alternator freewheel. When i replaced the belt a while ago i spun the pulley by hand and couldn't feel a difference in spinning CW and CCW. In hindsight that...

Grateful for some advice if someone can help. I have a S203 with the M271 engine in 180K guise on a 53 plate. It's covered a reasonably trouble-free 120K mostly motorway miles and up until now has been MB dealer serviced, but home fixed if anything has failed. I'm ex-motor trade, but these days...

As far as I know one way to spot a faulty coil pack when you have a misfire (and no code reader) is by the white stains on the plastic indicating overheating. My car seems fine, no sign of trouble whatsoever and no fault codes (I do have a code reader). However when removing the engine cover...

Am not sure if this question is in the correct section of this forum but i reckon it's engine related anyhow. The 2004 W203 c180k, c200k and c230k all use the same M271 engine. All 3 models giving different horsepower outputs from the same M271 engine. However, how do we tell them apart...
