Me and the wife were going to a family get-together, when as we arrived at the venue the car stalled. The electric fan came on as i tried to turn the key, i noticed that the guages were not functioning but there was no other indication that the engine may be too hot. After trying 4 or 5 times...
The oil seal on my 1998 (36,000 mile) R170 recently failed, flinging a mist of oil from the electromechanical clutch. Enquiries to my local main M-B dealer revealed that a replacement oil seal was not available and that a new blower would cost me £1850 plus fitting - say £2000-ish, all in...

The manifold is a tubular steel...

For a high mileage, 60% motorway use, which system has a higher life expectancy, a 2010 C200 with the Eton compressor or the new direct injection turbocharged CGI? On paper the CGI is about 5% cheaper on fuel and also is slightly faster on acceleration. I intend to keep the...

Does anybody happen to know what is the estimated lifespan of our superchargers in our W203 M271 Kompressor engines?
I've been searching the internet and some people say the supercharger is rated for about roughly 100,000km.
Other people are saying roughly about 100,000 miles (which is...
Hey.
I've got a 1999 CLK230K. My problem is that the supercharger is engaged at once i start the engine(is not supposed to be engaged before rpm>2200). If I restart the engine a couple of times the problem is gone. It lasts until the engine is cold again(a couple of hours). Sometimes the...

OK, 'fess up - which one of you guys got some or all of the bits to do an M62 supercharger conversion but didn't get around to it? And of those which ones secretly know that they'll never get around to it.
