    W213 E220d 2017 cold start, white smoke, engine shaking

    As above what mileage is your car at, I would change all four injectors if it’s above 140k miles. I did this on my C250 cdi ‘13 model at 200k miles and car was like new again. I didn’t want to waste time and cash for checking the old ones.

    Engine Mounts Advice Please

    I ended up with the MB local dealer for changing the engine mounts on my car, as Lemforder was available only on one side. The transmission mount is easier to find.

    Engine Mounts Advice Please

    Maybe they have them updated somehow, last time I used Febi rubber about 10 years ago, on my Audi A6 Allroad '06 were crap... lasted 20k km and needed changing. On the other hand Lemforder never let me down, they are same quality as OE MB parts.

    Advice c class W204 2013

    I had the rattle in the morning and fixed it with a new chain tensioner at 180k miles. My car is the S204 C250 CDI 4-matic 2013 and now has 230k miles. I change the engine oil and filter every 6k miles. I think it’s way too early to worry about timing chain. Just disable start/stop on every...
