rusty

The front calipers on my 2003 C32 AMG has the usual glossy silver paint finish, and look great. The rears have turned bronze with rust and look really awful. I asked my dealer to take a look whilst it was with them on Friday (for a new intercooler pump) and said the calipers aren't painted...

Just bought a 2000 e320cdi estate. Lovely car but has a bit of rust. I'm after any advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation. The car has a full MB service history, so I took it to the dealer for a service and to view the rust. They looked at the car and told me that MB would not...

Hi all My 99 W202 C200 saloon has so far had the rear arches repaired but has just started to go at the bottom of the O/S rear door. I will get this repaired but what steps can I take to prevent further corrosion? Has anyone waxoiled their W202? I guess the usual steps of washing the...

Hi all! Another one for you warranty specialists. The crossmember at the front of the car is terribly rusty and flaky. Is this covered under the Merc warranty? The car is a 99 pre-facelift W210 E-Class with full Mercedes Service History. Anybody have any ideas of have had a successful...

Driving up the M5 on Sunday, low coolant warning light came on. Checked the temperature gauge, no significant movement, so carried on. A few more miles, and I notice "smoke" coming from the back of the car, pulled off at the next junction, opened the bonet lots of steam, though the car gad not...

Just a thought - when checking out old Mercs (W124 CE/Coupe), how much rust should one accept? Of the cars I've seen lately, a couple have blisters on wheel arches (known weakpoint) but anyone any thoughts on rust in jacking points - all of them seem to have varying degrees of corrosion here...

Has anyone got the part numbers of the two atf pipes under the rad that go rusty and tend to leak, Car is a 97 W202 C250 I found them on the EPC but there is no part number.

Just noticed my c230k estate tailgate is starting to rust again! It was only replaced 2yrs ago because of corrosion.:( What do I do now? warranty has run out as I service car myself, how long do the body shops gaurantee the work? I think I might try the dealer to see if I can get this sorted and...

Today I saw an 04 plate Punto, with an inch high bubbling of rust running the entire length of the driver's door. Panel replacement kind of bad. It ain't just Mercs :) (although considering the price they shouldn't even rust slightly!)

Well, after fixing my leaking diesel pump (a replacement gasket set worked a treat, thanks to Dieselman for that), what do I find now? Only that the box sections, where the rear anti roll bars attach, are rotted away. They looked perfectly fine as there was a nice coating of underseal over...

A friends C Class has a bit of a problem regarding his wheel bolts, every single one of them is rusty, car is an 2001/51 plate, his warranty run out a couple of months ago. Can he still claim for the bolts to be replaced due to a rust ?? TIA

I,m sick at looking at rusty wheel bolts, Had them changed under warranty, but now the warranty has ended, they are rusty again. I'm looking for a long term fix. So does anybody out there know were you can get chrome plated wheel studs for a w203 year 2001. Thanks. :bannana:

Spent the day down at the auctions at Blackbushe and was specifically checking out what was going through the Top Car auction. They had a black 1997 Bentley Turbo R long wheel base with just 42,000 miles from new and full service history for sale....the amazing thing was that on the passenger...

I have a friend who owns a car body shop, I popped in yesterday to see him, and there in his work shop was a pretty newish Bentley. Turns out it was a 2000 model and they had welded a patch into the bottom of the rear wheel arch because of rot,,whats even worse is that apparantly the bentley...

Is this as common as I'm being lead to believe? I've been getting a rough vibration running through the car during heavy braking. After road testing and a visual inspection the garage said it was down to rust patching on the rear brake discs. Most likely cause they said was washing the wheels...
