Hiya folks, this post comes from a discussion between shude and I on Monday, walking back from the pub! why do powerful cars have 4 exhaust pipes? is it just vanity or is there a proper reason? Looking at something like an E55, it's a V8 engine. I can well imagine that the exhaust from each...

I just looked up the last MOT for my W124, and I wish I hadn't now. It said: From what I've heard about these pipes, I'm worried now!:( It is likey to fail it's MOT (in July) because of this, is there anyway I can stop the problem getting any worse, and if they do need replacing, how much...

Morning all... Can anyone recommend a cleaning product for chrome AMG exhausts? I've tried quite a few but none of them get rid of the black stain normally found at the bottom of the pipes. I like my pipes to be clean......... Thanks!

The W163 ML has a common problem. The sunroof drain pipes that run from the sunroof down either side of the car snaking under the A-pillar and exiting the car via a rubber grommet which it connects onto which are located in the footwells to drain water via the wheel wells. This grommet has a...

Hi when i had my instrument cluster out thisevening I noticed there were two pipes that seemed to be loose. The pic below shows the two highlighted in red and green. Anyone any ideas to what they do and what they should connect to. Everything seems to work in the car. They dont...

Was thinking of buying twin tailpipe trims for my 2001 S320 CDI, i was wondering are the tailpipe diameters the same on the diesels and petrol engines or different? i've seen loads on fleabay for supposedly all W220's at 56mmO/D then a few AT 58mm O/D, i tried to measure mine but it's on a funny...

Hi, My 2000 SLK 230 has suffered from the usual problem of damp affecting the PSE unit in the boot. The interior light had a mind of its own, the central locking was eratic and often locked and unlocked whilst driving, and I had occasional false alarms. Having taken the unit to bits, the...

My car has just passed it's MOT :bannana: the tester must have missed all the rusty holes in the sills :p, however he did advise that the rear flexible brake hoses are starting to wear. No problem, I can get the parts and fit them myself, so the question is, is there anything that i need to bear...

They are actually off an RS4, but these are very nice substatially sized stainless exhaust tips that might suit a larger Mercedes if anyone is thinking of having something custom done. They are on ebay, but might take an offer or have a bid. SOLD

Has anyone had their rear brake pipes replaced on a W202. I understand that they run up and over the fuel tank and this has to be removed to get at them. Sounds expensive :eek: My car had an "advise" on it's last MOT so I need to get them done.

Hi folks After bursting a water pipe (the small vertical rubber pipe between water-pump and thermostat housing) and see the price of a replacement from my MB dealer, I would rather spend the money replacing all the rubber pipes (as much as possible) with their silicon equivalent. A "kit"...

I've been looking into buying some chrome exhaust tail pipes for my 320cdi 55 plate Feb 06 model. My local dealership have advised me that MB do not make these for my engine. Could anybody advise where i might be able to obtain some, other than Ebay? Also, does anybody know, if not being a...

Just changed the return pipes - What a bloody job that was. Had to remove the air intake manifold plus a bloody plastic cover before I could get at them. When I saw what was under the plastic cover I thought sod it I'm buying a horse. Each of the six Injector rebates was full with diesel and...

Rather than hi jack 1998K's thread I am trying to obtain the part number (s) and price for the chrome tail pipes that are available for the W203 CDI Sports Pack (which fit on to the existing standard exhaust). Below is a pic of SEM's car with the tail pipes. Can anyone help please...

The car is still surging on startup on cold mornings, as well as the occasional rough idle - all goes away when warm. So I thought I'd clean the EGR system out a bit. My car is a W210 with the OM606 TD engine (3.0 turbo diesel). The EGR system recirculates exhaust gasses to reduce emissions...
