I have had problems with my W210 CDI producing a lot of smoke since I bought it around a year ago. Replaced 6, injectors, MAF, thermostat, glowplugs and had a B service, all of which yielded a little improvement. I started using Millers DPS4 in February which reduced the smoke by say...

Hi guys, I hope you can help with this one. The smoke problem on my 02 320CDI became almost non-existant when I made a concious effort to go out in the car for five consecutive days. However, after the car was left standing for 3-4 days (cold weather remember) I started it up Saturday...

a few weeks ago my vito started smoking slightly which i put down to a blowing exhaust but then all of a sudden its got alot worse and smokes really bad all the time. it runs perfect other than the smoke. can anyone shed any light on any possible causes. thanks

Ive had my C250D for 2 years and its been great up until last month. Its a '98 non turbo, 5 cylinder diesel. I began to have trouble with air in the fuel. After the car sat overnight I had to crank the starter continuously to purge the air out of the system before it would start. I changed...

Hi Not that i do this particually often, mainly due to the price of fuel!, I am interested to know what the result could be of someone reporting a smoking or iding vehicle: http://www.westlothian.gov.uk/law-licensing/1101/47 I heard an advert on the local radio station saying that you...

Hi fellas was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.My 2000 e320cdi has quite heavy white, grey smoke under heavy acceleration. Not sure if I should be concerned as quite often when behind 07 plate diesels ie range rovers etc they also seem to smoke when gunning it. the car performs well...

Interesting

I've been considering replacing the valve stem seals on my 89 300te because of the copious smoke when up to temperature, as i pull away. The problem was worse this summer than it had ever been and was getting embarrasing and making town driving impossible. However I took the car on a long...

can someone please help my s320 is smoking when i pull away and when i put my foot down but if i keep my foot on the excelarator then put it down there is no smoke.

On acceleration, the car lacks power, until around 2000rpm, then a surge of power and clouds of black smoke. The lower part of the rev range is where the problem lies. Ive had the mas sensor replaced, both the cats have been bypassed to eliminate excess back pressure. When on STAR the...

Hello Everyone, lots of very knowledgeable people here by the looks of things, so hopefully somebody can help me out... I have a 2001 E220 CDI that has developed a misfire of sorts (like when you used to have a car with mucky points). It also kicks out a fair bit of smoke. I've had it...

Hi guys, me again, ive got a C220 cdi sport and it used to smoke a patch when i used to put the peddle to the floor (aparentley common for diesel), but now at times ive notice it even lets off more smoke than normal when I take off. Whats wrong? :crazy:

My 108D is a '98 on 107k. A few weeks a go it started to 'tick' intermittently which I thought was a sticky cam follower. Speaking to some MB enthusiasts confirmed my diagnosis and I was advised to flush the engine oil. Before I could get around to it, however, the engine started lightly...

My E320 CDi has destroyed a MAF within 1.5 years of replacing it. Ho hum. MB read the fault code out and confirmed my suspicions. They even tried another MAF to see if the situation improved..and it did (revs above 3000 and has low down grunt again). But, even with the new MAF fitted, it's still...

Hello, Any help appreciated. ML 270 (W-reg) smokes when accelerated (sort of drak and blue colour). Had a look at the message boards and tried to clean injectors but no luck. Also having touble with glow plugs (maybe related?) and no spark/current going to them. Found the relay for glow plug...
