    Oily residue on condensor W203

    I have just removed my intercooler to replace the seals. The intercooler is very clean, however the bottom left hand side condensor which is behind it is covered in an oily residue (about a 150x150mm area) The air conditioning became ineffective and was recharged about 6 weeks, and already it...

    Oily smell inside car when idling

    While sitting in traffic the smell of oil inside the car is readily apparent. Lifted the bonnet and found some oil residue around the filler cap, looked like a small overfill from sometime ago, certainly not fresh oil. Used an engine degreaser to clean it up. Following day the smell of the...

    More oily matters on a W202 (viscosity)

    Greetings! I'm popping by Costco this afternoon, and just realised I can't remember what viscosity I need in a W202, 1.8lt petrol engine. I seem to remember 0W/40 on Mobil 1 - but can someone confirm this? Thanks in advance, you'll save me a trip home to look at the paperwork! Michele

    Oily stains from cloth ?

    One of my passengers managed to drop a bit of their KFC Twister while eating in the car (after being warned!) and it has managed to leave oily stains on the seat - I imagine from the mayonaise. I have given it a good couple times over with a wet cloth but this doesn't seem to be doing the trick...

    Oily inlet manifold and pipes.

    WARNING DIRTY PICTURES! After all the talk of MAS problems, I thought I would take a look at mine: As you can see, there is not much to it. Looks like a diode/resistor type thing. You can see in the picture that mine is very oily, so I thought I would see where the oil was coming...
