    Leaking heater matrix?

    Hi guys My 2010 E class cabrio has a leak somewhere. The window glass gets soaking wet on the inside and fogs up after parking. I'll come back to find water dripping from the inside of the windows. A few things make me think it is not an external leak. 1. It only happens after the car has...

    2010 E class cabrio leaking boot

    Unfortunately the seal is a very solid rubber block that sits between the hinge and body. It dosn't seem possible to lift at all. I can't see anywhere else it could be getting in but the rubber block itself looks fine. Anyone else had this issue?

    2010 E class cabrio leaking boot

    Hi My 2010 E class cabrio has a leak in the boot. Water is soaking the upper boot liner on the passenger side underneath the hinge in the red square. I've replaced all the plastic rivets for the plastic covers and cleaned the area under them so they shouldn't be the problem. The only thing I...

    E class window rattle

    Yes rattles when fully closed but not so much when opened a bit. It seems to have some movment when handling it. Tired the gummy pledge. The out real rail dosn't appear to be tight against the glass anymore and so I was thinking of replacing these anyway. I just wondered I the deals do anything...

    E class window rattle

    2010 E class cab drivers window rattles. I'm thinking of removing the door card and checking the bolts that hold the glass. Other thing I've noticed is the outer seal no longer pushes tightly against the glass. Thinking of replacing the seal too so it presses tightly against the bottom edge of...

    What does oil in Coolant look like (diesel engine)

    Ended up doing the trip. Topped up so that the sensor was completely covered which took about half a mug full of distilled water. Drove 80 mile there. Checked and didn't appear to have dropped, drove 80 mile back and its hard to tell of its gone down at all. If it has its ever so slightly temp...

    What does oil in Coolant look like (diesel engine)

    What does oil in Coolant look like (diesel engine)

    Thanks for the advice everyone. Is it possible to top this up with distilled water from Halfords? I'm not sure I want to use tap water and I don't want to risk mixing in the wrong Coolant. I've not driven it since I noticed the leak but I'm wanting to buy a 5l bottle of distilled water so I can...

    What does oil in Coolant look like (diesel engine)

    Yeh I seen those posts and most people suggest it could be the fuel filter housing. I ran the engine but cannot see any leak. But there is a puddle under. I'll remove the filter and have a look inside. I just wanted to ask about the fluids mixing because I need the car at the weekend but...

    What does oil in Coolant look like (diesel engine)

    What about the brown looking Coolant? That's what I'm worried about. If it's just an external leak I'll top up and do my trip

    What does oil in Coolant look like (diesel engine)

    What does oil getting into the Coolant look like in a diesel engine? My Coolant is brown looking. Makes me wonder if its getting oil into it. My E250 has a Coolant leak and is dripping onto the road. It's booked in but I need to make a 2 hour round trip drive between now and then garage...

    654 engine timing chain recall

    To be fair I don't think 651 is even that bad apart from the timing chain. Loads out there now with 100,000s of miles especially taxis

    2010 E250 cdi Coolant leak

    Where is the fuel filter casing located? The engine bay is bone dry but a definite trickle can be seen underneath.

    2010 E250 cdi Coolant leak

    OK thanks is that located near the back of the engine by any chance? Difficult to see where it coming from but the puddle appears to be roughly where the flywheel would be rear of engine bay. But that could just be where it drips off the under tray I guess not necessarily where it originates

    2010 E250 cdi Coolant leak

    OK thanks. Cars always been serviced by a good indie so I'm sure they use correct antifreeze. Brown colour has me worried looked green/clear on the paper though. I wonder if the fuel filter housing has cracked.
