As the title says, and ideas on how to get it out to unseize it? It says in the Haynes manual that there is a clip but I can't see it for the life of me. The hub is in the way of a detailed examination. I could removed the cables but the bolts (bloody Allen key type...why) look rather...

Hi All, Looking for some advice as I just don't know what to do :o The OM642 engine in our Viano started making a rumble (bit like the under was scrapping on the road) and also a high pitch sequel. I pulled over and checked the front belt thinking it was a pulley, water pump etc but all...

Hi I did a search and couldn't see an answer. Attempting to change my tranmission fluid, filter, pilot bushing. I managed to loosen the sump cover bolts so they are good to go - they were easy. But the T30 TORX sump plug is rock solid. Tried an extension on TORX tool socket, no joy...

E320 with glow plug 2 needing replacing (doesnt like starting in cold weather). Couple of garages dont want to attempt the removal of the old glow plug incase it snaps and knackers the engine. Car done around 170k, no service history. What would you do? Risk the fix or is it game over?

I have had 2 out of the 5 glow plugs removed&replaced but the other 3 are seized in. Has anybody out there had the same problem with their glow plugs being seized in&cant get them out ? Any ideas of ways of getting them out or of garages that might be able to remove the glow plugs successfully...

I have 2002 E320 Auto Estate 150,000 miles. lost kickdown, runs smoothly and there is no problem when using tiptronic gear changing, so took to MB garage and have been advised I need new Inlet Port motor and manifold plus Hot Film Mass Sensor. Needless to say these items are very expensive...

Hi, Kwik Fit tried to adjust my front tracking rods but were unable to due to them being seized. Is it a big/expensive job to fix? The car does pull a little to the right which isn't ideal but is it dangerous? cheers

So I put aside the entire day to start replacing my brakes and rotors on my w202 c230k. Everything is going well, caliper comes off, pads come off, spray everything with brake cleaner. Now I'm about to unscrew the big caliper mounting bolts to get the rotor off and the damn things won't...

Hi, I am hoping for a sense check…. I recently bought a Merc CLK 320 Diesel Auto non-running as a project to repair. When I got it, all of the glow plugs had been removed, so I assumed that someone had done a compression test. Anyway, the first thing I decided to do was see if the...
