    Problem after thermostat change

    Update, took the turbo pipe off again and it turns out the green O-ring was not sealing correctly despite me thinking it was. Reassembled again and this time no detectable air movement, hesitation gone and mpg back roughly to where it was. TBH, I was hoping for improved mpg with the engine...

    Problem after thermostat change

    My iCarSoft displays a temp graph of the car heating up and then holding 87 - 92C during driving. That must come from the ECU I'd have thought? I'm now going down the split hose investigation but I can't hear anything unusual when revving in neutral, maybe it needs load? I used a small...

I changed the thermostat 2 weeks ago and since then it...

    I'm on holiday with the Mrs at the moment down in the sunny south of France, about 1500 miles driven so far. What this lengthy drive has revealed is that the front left hand alloy has significantly more brake dust on it than the front right - which looks about normal. There is no steering pull...

    DPF problems on W203

    Hi, new MB owner and first post here, shame it is a cry for help! I have owned my '04 C220 Estate for 1 month now, I thought it was a good buy with its full MB service history and 85k on the clock. For the first 2 weeks all was well and then I noticed it was feeling a bit sluggish and the...
