pipes

Can any one recommend a supplier or a garage that can make hydraulic pipes for 560 sec suspension ? Want to get them changed for this year. And i know this is a massive subject but any advice welcome

I've started to do a big service on my 03 ML 270CDI, along with doing the usual oil change, air filter and fuel filter I'm also going to do the transmission oil change. I also decided to take a look at the EGR valve and pipes and a nosey inside the manifold. This is the state of the EGR...

Howdo All, my mate changed the brake pipes on the old girl today. They were pretty corroded at the connectors to the hoses and pretty much 'twisted' off where they had gotten thin. The MoT is due in April and i was originally going to coat them in some waxoyl, but my mate suggested changing them...

Hi folks, does anyone know what size the nut on the rear rigid pipe should be, where it connects to the flexi? Mine seems to be somewhere between 10mm & 11mm - odd. Cheers, Sam.

Hello My S211 had a recomendation on the MOT that it has slightly coroded brake pipes. The garage (not Mercedes) said to use a wire brush on them and rub oil over them?? Is this correct, will they be easy to get to if I get the car on axel stands? If this isn't correct what is? I guess...

re: 2002 W210 E320CDI Avantagrde estate 147k miles. Happy New Year guys. Just had the MOT done at MB with new rear pads and disks plus a caliper to the tune of £555 which has made me distinctly down in the mouth. Excellent service there though can't argue with that, I just didn't want to...

Hi all has anyone a technical picture of the e320cdi engine so I can look at the pipe layout ? thanks wilbyric

Car has been struggling to start for a while, only just got around to buying the hoses as I'm out of work and struggling a bit I was given 5 flexible pipes and 2 o rings by Mercedes Stockport, but I am not sure this is all I should have I have replaced the 2 pipes which are easiest to get to...

How do you use a hose pipe these days? Not had one for many years, but using one would make rinsing the car easier. However modern taps seem to be a completely different shape that you cannot attach a hose pipe to, so how do you do it?

Bloody car leaking fluid from the power steering, sent it into my mechanic and he said it needed a high pressure hose that runs from box to the 1st connection, said there was another return pipe that was a bit perished so best to change them both. :eek::eek::eek::eek: Just rang a few places...

decided to clean engine breather pipes on removing they broke and now i can only find where two of the three pipes go one on the oil separator one on the restrictor at the back of the inlet manifold between the two rear most inlets had a nightmare getting the piece of pipe off this,now where...

Just got a text from Mercedes to say that my new front pipes are ready to be picked up. I was planning to replace them myself but expect that it wont be easy to get the front pipes out of the middle section. Any advise on whether I should try it myself or take them to a garage to be fitted?

Hi The only ever time i've replaced a hydraulic brake pipe is on a classic Bonair Folding Camper. On that, it didn't matter what shape the brake pipe was.... aslong as one end was at the hitch and they went to the cylinders on each wheel..... i've read on here that if the brake lines go on...

I've just been quoted £500 + vat by my main dealer to replaced the corroded brake pipes to prevent a MOT failure, is this a good price, The pipes do need doing as they have been mentioned on the MOT advisory sheet now for 3 years by a indi garage, before my main service at the main dealer. why...
