I seem to get a bit of a petrol smell in the car and boot every now and then. Can't put my finger on when it does it specifically but it's not directly after a full up. Any ideas what could cause it? !m!

Hi good morning,just got a nasty shock after having a big service,heard this clanging noise a few days ago and could not find out what it was but my mechanic did,it seems that this model R230 from 2003 on has this fault in the fuel tank,the baffle was put in to stop the fuel from slushing around...

Hello, I'm going to look at 2 cars today (C-Class saloons) both 2006 One is a C180K the other is a C220 CDI I've always swayed towards Deisel for fuel economy, however my local garage advised me to get petrol due to my short journeys, as he reckons they are more reliable, due to injector...

Tuning box Petrol MERCEDES C 350 Db Box Anyone had any experience of these on a Petrol rather than diesel car? Cheers

Hi all, You may have had people ask this sort of thing before, I've done alot of trawling through the internet and it seems to come up alot and everyone has a different opinion. Basically I have a W202 98 C200 that has the 38 pin diagnostic plug. Naturally seeing as I had the obd2...

ok a curious ? but I have always wondered if you had an old car that you were scrapping what would happen if you drained the sump of oil and filled it with petrol? and started it up

When I bought the C63 AMG PPP Estate, I was immediately overwhelmed by the amount of spurious information it was conveying to me. It flashed and beeped and vibrated warnings like some kind of health and safety Tourette’s sufferer. Gradually, one by one and with much detective work I have either...

So the car (2001 CLK 320 Covertible Automatic) is running fine 90% of the time. But... a couple of times now, I have stopped at traffic lights or junctions and whilst stationary the refs still rock solid and stable at around 500rpm. Then, when I go to pull off, instead of the usual normal...

I see the facelift E class cab (and coupe?) are going to be available with this engine (which I think may be an upgraded version of the one in the E350 which is no longer available). Anyone know if this engine is likely to appear in the full sized E class models?

Hello everyone! I'm looking to order the new E class cabriolet, which is due out this summer, I was wondering if any convertible owners might have some pointers as to what engine I should choose. At this point I'm trying to decide between E 250 CDI and E250 petrol but my dealer doesn't have any...

I am currently on holiday in the USA and have a new model E350 as a rental.Initial impressions are that it's a big car even out here, the new front and rear profiles give the car great road presence.The interior is the artificial leather and for the most part looks ok, it reminds me a bit of the...

Can anybody tell me, where is the Water temperature sensor situated in B200 model from 2012 (W246 / 243)? My problem is, that often when I start the engine in the morning, the water temperature indicator goes to 80 degrees C in a minute and shortly afterwards the temperature indicator fells...

Hi guys, As some of you know I stripped my car to do the cam covers, but decided to powder coat the cam covers and inlets, also removed my fuel rail, and put the injectors in for flow testing and cleaning, some of mine needed cleaning 4 or 5 times, now the flow is perfect across all...

Hi guys I've been looking at getting a second hand C class estate (W204 model) but I'm a little bamboozled with all the changes to the engine line-up Mercedes have made since it was first introduced. I would appreciate anyone's input of with an overview of the different engines and the...

Can any body please help by describing how you remove / replace the MAF in a 2004 W203. I do not want to break any clips. Regards Bruce

I have read quite a lot on how a chip/remap can improve economy on diesel cars but not much about petrol. Most of my miles in the E240 are motorway. Are there worthwhile options available?
