spark

Hi-Is there a previous post, or How To, explaining the procedure for removing spark plugs on a straight six, C280?

On my Toyota and Renault, the spark plugs needs to be chaged by mileage only, not time - 36k in the case of the Renault, and 63k (probably translated from 100k KM) on the Toyota which has the Iridium plugs. In fact tha Toyota is now 12 years old and due to low mileage (40k) is still on the...

Hi All, I'm going to attempt to change the spark plugs on my w202 C280. I've read a number of threads, watch some utube videos and studied WIS. I had a quick look today and pulled of the leads to the two easiest plugs (near side - removed washer bottle to gain access.). A couple of...

Hi I have been reading about Engine Oils over the last few days and ive come to the conclusion that ESTER Engine Oil would be a wise buy for my C230 Kompressor. Question is has anyone used similar engine oil and have you felt the difference? and if not is the standard MB/Mobil oil good...

Hey guys. I'll be looking to change my spark plugs soon. I can get a set of plugs that MB would use during a service, but I was wondering if I should be going for some uprated plugs. Are there plugs that are better than others? I know that you can get platinum tipped plugs, but I'm not too...

Today I did the plugs on my 2.4 and my pals 2.8. Read all the spark plug threads before setting out to get all the info and now I'm done I thought I'd share my experiences for anyone attempting this.. The 2.4 is now on 122k, the plugs last done at 43k !!! The 2.8 is on 110k, plugs done at...

I bought my 1999 W202 in order to save money. OK, you can stop laughing now. I was wrong about that but I still reckon the long-run costs will not be vastly greater than those of a second-hand Golf. But if they are to be kept down I'm going to have to do a lot of the maintenance work...
