water

Guys I'm a little confused- my water is 306ppm on the TDS meter straight from a mains tap. With the DI vessel containing Tulison MB115 that I have had for a few months it takes it down to 0ppm for car washing. I have today installed a Kinetico Aquablu home water softener and the tap feeding my...

Hi guys I'm new here and new to MB too, I'm hoping you guys can push me in the right direction. Since owning my 1990 500sl I've found some parts can be hard to find, I'm currently having a rad custom made as no one currently has any stock of them and can't say when they will do next, I tried my...

Ring gumming. Been reading various water injection threads with interest. One day I may set it all up properly with valves and pumps etc, but in the meantime, I was thinking pumped garden fence sprayer straight into plenum twice a year before the car's oil change and dino thrash. My question...

1/ Could anybody provide a ball park figure on what would be a fair charge to replace a water pump (Parts / Labour) on an e class s211 assuming no other issues at an independent garage? 2/ What pump brand do you recommend if taking this on oneself? There seems to be quite a variety Thanks...

Hi there, Background - last year I had electrical issues (windows opening on their own, engine kept running with key removed, wouldn't lock etc etc) and this was traced to the battery compartment under the drivers seat which was half full of water and a connection box and SAM unit both had to...

Morning all, Considering going down to Santa Pod on Sunday 23rd August and running the C63 down the 1/4 mile. Hoping to be able to borrow Acid's Slicks to be able to do this otherwise don't think there's much point in doing it with road tyres. I just wanted to gauge whether there would be...

Hi Just noticed my front windscreen washer does not pump water to the screen. I have topped up the water,still no joy, infact when the stalk is pushed the wipers work as normal but can't hear the pump running. The head lamp washers function ok.No error messages are present!! Any ideas chaps ??

Noticed a few watermarks on the drivers seat this morning after a few heavy showers yesterday, after further investigation with a hosepipe aimed predominantly at the top of the drivers side screen witnessed a few drips eminating from the inner front door post upholstery/roof lining. Just...

Hi after removing the rear bumper on my c220 09 reg today I found the rubber water drain pipe had fallen off and was lying on the blank panel that is fitted to the underneath where I imagine a offside exhaust goes on the c320-c63 etc. I watched a short video on YouTube before hand to get some...

It was perhaps inevitable with the increasing numbers of small forced induction petrol engines appearing that this old technology would re-surface. Water Injection We have all experienced how engines run better in dense humid air conditions so this may be a good thing. Claims for...

I have to replace the water pump on my SLK, it's started to leak at the shaft. Anything I should be aware of? I've had a quick look and it looks straightforward.

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced the boot lid filling with water on their E class coupe. There is only one drain hole and it has a rubber plug in it so simple cure but why plug a drain hole?

I'm thinking of selling my gorgeous SL55 - I'm just not using her and money would be well spent on a business venture. Not 100% sure and I'm attending the Benz on the Green PCS GTG next weekend if anyone's interested in having a chat. She's just had a "big" B Service at PCS over the last...

Anyone have any idea how hard it would be to change the water pump and the belt tensioner assembley on an m102 motor? My water pumps leaking from the weep hole underneath Any diys anywhere? Sam

Hi guys. Wasn't sure this was the right section to post this, but I suppose pooling water leads to corroded bodywork, so here it is. Mods, please move the thread if required. I washed the CL500 last night, and this morning when I was cleaning the interior, I opened the boot and saw these...

I've been told by a non merc technician that the water pumps on my car can be a bit dodgy as far as leaking is concerned, just wondered if anyone has experienced this issue. The cars only done 25k. Any comments welcome.

Hi all, the time has come to finally get the old water pump replaced. it is making a bit of noise when cold engine and I get a bit of a weep from seep hole (or whatever it is called). Anyway I got a new one OEM that I purchased for something like £20 with other bits as clearout on ebay:bannana...
