Me again!! On the OM613 E320 CDI do you have to remove the inlet manifold to change the glow plugs? Thanks David

On the R107, there are two air intake grills beneath the windscreen - the slatted bits either side of the wipers........ Anyways, I've looked at every picture on the EPC and I can't find them - I'm looking for the plastic expansion plugs that keep them in place - there's three on each one...

I know glow plugs are quite the topic of conversation at present, so I will add to the proceedings! As alluded to in Steve's thread here, I have the plug light staying on after startup, so I am well aware of what is coming. What I can't seem to find out is - is this a DIY proposition for...

Hi all, after a bit of help, although I think I know the answer already... My wifes ML has a problem with the little glow lamp on the dash not going out. I believe this means a glow plug has gone south. Looking at the glow plugs for the car there are 2 types for my engine. The only...

Hi. I recently had a glow plug fail on my E320. I took it to Mercedes, stupidly thinking it would be covered under their used warranty. Cost a fortune for 1 so didn't want to do that again. Anyway another one failed so I figured I would get the rest of them changed as there is no knowing when...

Hi, A mate has bought a very similar car to mine and is looking to do a DIY service. He's unsure about spark plugs, and has said there's conflicting stuff on the internet about what ones to use, and also what brand. He's found decent deals with Bosch and Unipart apparently, but is...

Hi guys Changed my plugs today to help my idle - idle is better but more importantly the car noticeably smoother under acceleration :) These look ok to me. Another observation is that the plugs with leads have a little brown fur on the top whereas the direct to coil plugs have none. Just...

I have no user hand book for my lovely 2004 W209 so can anyone tell me if I should turn on the ignition and let the glow plugs warm up for about 5 seconds before starting the engine, as with other diesel cars I have owned? I notice what looks like a pre-heat glow plug orange symbol in the...

Hi all :-) Wondering what to next... How often does one need to change the spark plugs (on my E320 petrol S210)... And is it DIYable? :o

Bloody internet! Buying oils and the like and i'm a few quid short (about 6 spark plugs worth) of free carriage. For some reason i googled the plug spec the site threw out as a quick double check and am now irrationally paranoid :doh: The place i'm buying the oil from suggests NGK BCP6E /...
