    Fuel Filter advice

    The clips Pop open with a small flat head and you can buy the plyers on eBay or use a pair of side cutters to clip them back together. The system self bleeds so leave the ignition on for a few mins before starting and let it run for 5mins and your ready to go again.

    Fuel Filter advice

    I have the same engine and there is not a chance in hell I would let a filter run that long. Mine gets done every 10k because it's cheaper to replace the filters than the injectors and I personally think Merc are pushing it letting a filter run that long.

    651 Timing chain tensioner replacement

    Just a quick one ................ I own a e250 and I'm thinking about replacing the chain tensioner but unsure if this can be done without the engine locking tools. Is it as simple as taking the old one out and putting the new one in ? I don't have any noise at start ups but once warm I seem to...

    C350 2013 limp mode no engine lights, no boost/turbo

    Buy yourself a icarsoft computer that way you can read it when it happens and post your findings. There are some great guys on here that will help you get to the bottom of the fault and if it is a sensor issue they are usually a DIY job so you could save £££££££££££

    What got you into a Mercedes Benz?

    When I was a young lad I always told my wife that when I get to 50 I wanted a eclass Merc as my last car and that's what got me into a Merc. I have had well over 200 cars in my years of driving and if I'm honest the Merc isn't the best car I have owned or driven. I have had the eclass 4 yrs now...

    Cooling Fan

    Try turning off the A/C and see if it stops............ When using the Aircon the fan will run off and on or sometimes on for a long period.

    C350 2013 limp mode no engine lights, no boost/turbo

    I would get the car back into limp mode and DO NOT turn the car off so it can be plugged into a computer and then use live data to read what's going on. I had a similar problem with mine ( diff engine tho ) and found the exhaust back pressure sensor was at fault and after I changed that my...

    Hi my name is Ian

    The fault might be in pending codes.......... If it works fine after a restart then that's where you need to be looking with the correct diagnostic equipment.

    Coolant Leak only when Radiator fan turns on?

    As said above if the water is clear it's the A/C and if it's the same colour as the coolest then there is a issue somewhere but my money would be on the A/C.

    Coolant temperature spike

    Sounds like there was a airlock in the system. Keep a eye on the temp and if it happens again then the system will need to be running with the cap off until the airlock passes out of the system.

    W204 2007 C320 CDİ Cleaned fuel injectors - problems

    I would also agree that you have damaged a injector.......... Remove them again and take them to a specialist to recon them otherwise replace with new.

    What little things on your Merc make you smile?

    I have only ever seen it that once and have no idea how or why it came on......... If you can't park using your own eyes then you shouldn't be driving. I like the hold function and use that often sitting at the lights.

    What little things on your Merc make you smile?

    I remember once going into a carpark in mine after owning it 6 months and a steering wheel popped up on the screen ! Turned out my car has parking assist and a few other things that I didn't know about.
