I wonder if anyone has ever come across a break out box/cable for the EZL module - EZL/AKR adaptor cable (117 589 01 21 00). The WIS (15-541 Testing electronic ignition system with variable ignition characteristics and anti-knock control (EZL/AKR) - page 2) suggests the use of this, and I am...

This doesn't looks right... and then I tried to pull the boot out with my fingers and then lightly with a clamp and it tore the boot... It would not budge at all, the coil came off easily, but the boot would not come off at all no matter how I fidgeted the tip. The boot rubber would...

Hello all. I seem to be changing my spark plugs every 6 weeks or so. If standing at the bumper and looking at the engine, the 4th and 6th spark plugs get really bad and end up having a solid deposit in the tip of the plug preventing it from sparking. Does anyone what could be causing this, poor...

Hiya all, I took my CLK 320 (Y reg) to our indi who is usually fab and can do almost everything. I say almost because he was unable to change 5 of our 7 spark plugs (why on earth does one car need 12 spark plugs in the first place?!?). Basically, the previous owner only had the basic services...

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...
