c240

Hi, i'm new to owning a Mercedes and i'm looking to make more power out of my M112 E26. I've done an exhaust atm and that's it, a new intake and a tune would probably get me more but I know I wont be satisfied unless im making around 300-400HP. I don't know if this is possible from the E26 but...

Recently the engine management orange warning lamp appeared on my dash and the car suffered an immediate loss of power. My local garage diagnosed a coil pack problem and replaced this to no effect. Their diagnostics suggested that the cyclinder bank 1,3 & 5 was showing a misfire and Cat...

I bought some new wiper blades from the MB dealer (£30!!) They are curved unlike the earlier ones which were straight and don't have a spoiler. My car takes the older style blades with a frame unlike the later slim version. Which way should the curve be? Should the driver's side blade curve...

Hi, This is for 2002 MB C240 4matic. The alternator had a short cut and has been replaced. This probably damaged something, as the battery went dead few times and we had to try jumps, then recharge, etc. Not sure if keys were always on at that time. Now here is the result: the key (and...

I have a 2001 Mercedes C240. When the engine is running with car stopped you can feel a bit of trembling. It also cuts off during driving and this happens at slow speeds only. Like when I will take the foot off the pedal crossing roundabouts or stop at the traffic lights. I had the car...
