test

Hello everyone! I have got the famous ECU failure problem on my Mercedes C200 -96. One day I was driving and suddenly the engine was only driven by 2 cylinders. I left the car to a car repair and they tried to change spark plugs and ignition coils but without success. I have read alot about this...

Hi all Got a few viewings lined up hopefully soon and want to make sure im checking for right things. Done a bit of research and come up with the following list of things to check, both specific for the W211 E55 AMG and general checks. So here goes: W211 E55 1) Airmatic suspension - check...

Hi, I don't have a fuel pressure testing guage and neither does the local garage, Is it possible to read the fuel pressure through the 16 pin diagnostic port. I can fault code read the system using a power scope. My local garage has various old testing equipment and they are sure they'll...

well the other half wanted a 4x4 - im totally against them. ive had a e class sport estate for the day a few weeks back- so today it was BMW turn. Started off with x5 msport - loved it. Then a 525d msport and was somewhat disapointed. driving seemed rather distant. I have looked at the new...

A secret MB member has sent me one of his new Waxes from the depths of his 'Mad Scientist' Lab for me to try. He doesnt really need an introduction as hes very well known in the wonderful world of detailing. Here it is: Will be trying this out on are very own sport & 997 2s so will do a...

My Mercedes dealer very kindly let me use this little number this weekend, so thought I might give a little write up on my thoughts.....a mini review :)

So chaps, what do you think about buying a car without test driving it (or an equivalent)? I've just purchased a C350 Petrol without even driving a new C Class. I mean, I know alot about the car and have seen the equivalent interior but have no idea on the ride itself. Is it smooth, bumpy...

The test of the practicality of the CLS as a family car was always going to be put to the test in our annual summer hols trip into Europe. With roofbox on (necessary evil) we cruised across to France, then Italy and back. It racked up 2,300 miles in 2 weeks and it didn't miss a beat. It happily...

Is there any members out there that do MOT equipment servicing and calibration? We have a Snap on ATL that is coming up for service and calibration and we are now out of our contractual period with Snap On. Before I renew If there is anyone on here or if anybody knows anyone in this business I...

Just done a plug change, and I have to say, the ones I pulled out don't look great. Although, I'm wondering if the oily gluey buildup on the threads is just the stuff that stops em jamming. (Antilock grease? The name of the stuff alludes me right now.) I've never done a compression test...

I have developed a very simple tuning box for C 180 Kompressor. Development and test is done on my own MY 2003, but I would like test reports from installations on 2004b and later, preferably low-mileage engines. Installation is fully reversible and safe but requires cutting into the engine...

Hi, I've been searching about for the Top Gear Twin Test - C230K vs BMW 328i (E36), but all the links I've found are dead. :( Does anyone know of a working link, or maybe have a PDF? Cheers. :)

That was may be a bit of a rhetorical question but would you really buy an 18 year old high performance car without being allowed to test drive it? This has been for sale for a while and looks like a cracking motor but the last lines of the advert would surely put a genuine buyer off. BMW...

Well I've took the plunge & ordered Bilt Hamber clay bar after telling people that blue-tac is just as good, i shall see for my self if it is better or just as good. Clay bars test | Auto Express

Crash Test a 200km/h - YouTube Ouch, but discuss how a larger car like a Mercedes E or S class might fare?

A smart car! Neither I (nor my friend) liked the feel of the C63, it felt too disconnected when driving and I didn't feel the power, compared my CLS. The gearbox was very nice with quick changes, and so were the electronics, but the overall impression was very underwhelming. I know driving...
