Replaced the SLS lines today on my 1994 W124 estate. However on the levelling value to one of the main 6mm pipes, the threads are stripped. I want to repair this with helicoil, but need to know the type and size of the union/bolt for that part... (ie size and whether its metric/imperial...

Dear Benz owners ... if someone really wants to see photos that are now not working. I can repair the links or the mods can repair the links for me. Send me any threads that need to be fixed and I will slowly address the issue. Some of the old photos were on FREE HOSTING that I have...

Hi, I apologise to the moderators for probably over stepping the mark with this post... i`m trying to reach crammy69 about his e55 but havn`t yet enough threads to pm him...can anyonre help????

Can an injector bolt thread in a 2000 Vito 110cdi cylinder head be repaired relatively easily with a Helicoil or threaded sleeve? There's one for sale locally I was considering for my own use and gather this is a common problem. I'm a diesel tech of a lot years but have no small diesel Merc...

Having received many complaints of trolling especially in C63 threads, I think we need to draw a line in the sand now as the behaviour is getting particularly tiresome (you know who you are). In addition to being tiresome, it is often a most unwelcoming start for new members. Starting...

Sorry to make another thread...but I ran into another problem, it's been a long day. For some reason, and only on the driver side, one of the holes where the caliper guide pin goes into the bracket were completely stripped of its threads. The pin itself is fine. I don't know how or when this...

Hi Guys, Just thoght I would say thanks to the various threads on the above subject. I took delivery of 4 x 75 mm chrome AMG style wheel caps which I purchased off of amazon, (photos to follow, gota wash the wheels and car first :o). I got these to replace the original blue laural leaf wheel...

Tire label - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hallelujah. Standard tyre labelling - from 1 November 2012. And not a moment too soon!

Well, the title says it all. Had to extract no.1 injector to cure a severe case of injector seal leakage. When I removed the bolt, half the internal thread from the bore came out with it. Any ideas or advice on how to get this sorted? Looks to me like a case of drilling out the bore a...

Two of the bolts on my back wheel hub are not screwing in tightly, the thread seems knackered on the hub. Is it possible to get an insert put in these? A Helicoil or whatnot. Or if not, is it a big job to change the rear hub? I do have a spares car i can cannibalise if necessary at some...

You know this old chesnut ? So the car has been in the garage for 3 whole weeks now. I hired the seating tool for them and printed off loads of material from here. I dropped in last night to see what was happening. I walked in and discovered the injector clamp held in with a home do...

This one is about noise. I have a CLK 350 Avant-garde with 18" wheels and continental tyres. When I drive over bumps I hear a thud noise. My mechanic changed the front left shock and anti roll bar which made no difference. So my question is: Are these cars noisy over bumps or is it...

Can I ask for some feedback and advice as to how much I should be looking to sell my Mercedes for please. :o Apologies first of all for not beong particularly active on the Forum and also for not being particularly clued up as to the up's / down's /in's / out's of Mercedes values and prices. I...

First point - this post is intended to be in no way critical, its purely an observation, There seem to be way too many political or plainly argumentative posts on here fuelled by the same bunch of antagonists, but little hard core tuning discussion :) Whilst there are a lot of MB specific...

Hi, Looking for some threads on retrofitting Command into a W202 but I tried numerous phrases with no luck. Anyone come across any threads that would give me the knowledge and a place to buy a new console facia to accept the double din size. best regards xixal

It wont let me search for in car pc - as the words are too short.. I know that a couple of peeps have done this - just wondering what frontend they use? I can find Media Engine (http://www.mediaengine.org/index.php?downloads) or Media Car (http://users.skynet.be/media-car/) Any...

In my related thread I noted that I have bought some new alloys, but the bolts supplied with them are too long, or appear to be. The problem is that they are about 5 to 6mm too long and the threads in the hubs don't allow the bolts to go right through. I can't see why, as my quick look...

Those how to threads are pretty damn good, this website just gets better !
