Im looking to buy a beautiful 05 plate Clk350 from a mercedes garage but the only thing that puts me off is this balance shaft issue i keep reading about. What i want to know is how common is this issue and has it actually effected many 350 owners? Thanks for your help

Has anyone ever heard of theres giving problems on the hateful M271 engine ? One of mine has sized and this is what caused the second chain to break . Ive been told by one indy that its common but another never heard of problems with them . MB are looking for 800 euro to replace the shafts and...

Hi Guys, Question mainly for Techs but obviously all comments welcome as usual. We have had a customer in with a CLS350 with around 123k on it. Ended up diagnosing balance shaft problems. Stripped front and found the most horrendous wear ever, this major component was pretty...

Definately need a new prop shaft on my C250 TD Auto Estate... I'm tempted to just get a decent used one... anyone got any tips? I don't have a huge budget tbh (I know... shouldn't have an MB if you can't afford to run it, but there we go), and I suspect a new one would cost the earth and a...

HM Revenue & Customs: Company cars - advisory fuel rates from 1 December 2010 Despite VAT rising to 20% in January, the new HMRC fuel rates for use of own car for work remain unchanged! Well not strictly true, the diesel rate has been cut by 1p - anyone seen any cheaper diesel lately?

I'm trying to drop the prop shaft on my W123 diesel to change the centre bearing but am having a little trouble (never done one before). I've undone and removed the 6 bolts on the front flex disc and the same on the rear one, then removed the handbrake cabling that gets in the way, then the 2...

I need to change all four drive shaft boots on the 450 SEL due to the rubber being badly perished. I have enquired at MB and they have quoted me about £200 for all four inc. VAT. They come as a complete kit i.e. with the joints as well. However, I have seen boot kits for sale on ebay.de...

Hello all I'm replacing the radiator on my 280CE and it seems to make sense to renew the pump while I'm at it. My dilemma is that my parts supplier list two pumps for my car - with or without shaft extension. Which do i need? The car is an '83 model, auto transmission, no aircon. The...

My 300TE broke it's drivers side rear driveshaft. I know someone who is breaking a 280E saloon. We're going to have a look at it tomorrow. Cheers

Another thing that I have spotted on the 1996 C200 that came into us today, is that there is an oil leak from the front of the engine. Unclipping the small plastic engine cover at the front of the engine, the oil appeared to be coming from the cam shaft position sensor (?). I assume that there...
