cdi

Dear Fellow Enthusiasts, I was wondering if someone could help me decipher a very strange phenomenon please...! I am a proud owner of a C180 W203 (Almost Classic - I know). I somehow managed to convince a very good old friend to ditch his standard (Ford - Mondeo) for prestige - hence the E220...

Hi All Although I've been reading these forums for about 2 years, this is my first post. (I have another in mind: to put together ALL the info I've gathered on using the 5g gearbox. Because I wish I could have found all the info in one place). I've learned so much!!! Thanks, guys. eg: I...

Hey guys, Let me first start by saying Merry Christmas and a Happy new year! Lets hope 2015 will be good for all on the forum! Its looking like it will be very good for us indeed!! (Fingers crossed lol) Here is another E350 CDI which we have worked on earlier in the week, the customer had...

Yesterday at GAD Tuning we had a lovely C350 CDI in for power tuning! We tune so many 350 CDI's in all models! But this one was one of the first variations as it did not have the EDC17 CP10 or CP46 ECU variation but the first generation of the EDC17 CP01 variation which hardware is ever so...

Today@GAD!!! Had a lovely day today with a lovely Mercedes E350 CDI Coupe! I do relaly like the Coupes and think the lines are a little bit special on them! Our customer will be returning to visit the guys at Dub customs to have some bits wrapped but that's for another time! Was a stock...

Hello again, We popped over to Clevedon to have a meeting with Projex who we work very closely with on many projects with some more special bits on the way. While we had been tuning a customers C250 CDI they had already been preparing a boot lid spoiler and had been in the middle of colour...

Hi all, I have just joined the forum and need to ask a couple of questions since your advice could sway the decision to keep or get rid! Issue 1 - Suspension clunk through steering wheel and peddles. both front shocks have been changed under warranty along with the bushes in the lower...

Hi you Mercedes enthusiasts out there. I'm currently looking to buy a CLK 220 (preferably nothing higher than a 2 litre engine) and I look forward to finding more about the great vehicle make that is Mercedes.

Hey guys, Well this little number was perfect for the awesome weather we have been having!!! A lovely E350 CDI Convertible in for power tuning! With the roof down, wind in your hair, loads of torque to put a smile on your face!!! Happy days! As we all know by now ECU location is ridiculous...

some of my recent threads highlight the issues I have been having. Here is a brief summary:- Car was initially hesitating under acceleration at low RPM, initially thought to be a gearbox issue, however my opinion was air in fuel after checking a clear section of pipe. A temporary clear...

For quite a while now, I have been having power problems. Took car to a Mercedes specialist after several EPC shutdowns, but no faults were logged. At the time a cheap fuel filter was fitted, so after reading a few threads, I decided to get a genuine MB filter. After fitting, I noticed that...

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Gary and Anthony from GAD Tuning. They kindly drove 3.5h all the way down to Sunny Wiltshire to map my car. After 5 mins of talking to the guys about the map etc I was really impressed with their technical knowledge and pleased that they were happy to...

hi I am having trouble with my E270 cdi 2003 it doesn't start up unless I give it a jump start will I need to replace my battery that is in the boot? a message appears on my dash saying battery protection, convince functions temp unavailable does this mean anything :S

Evening all, Just thought I would share my experience/results from todays (very rainy) trip to CKS Performance in Watford. I have previously ordered the boot spoiler they offer and thought I would give them a go. I had the C63 Quad Exhaust and Diffuser Package fitted, took about 4 hours to...

Hi all, I signed up to the site a little while ago now but jumped in straight at the deep end asking questions as I had a problem with a leaking injector seal! (The Black Death) I've also had a couple of problems since then but I think I may be winning on that front! So, I've had my...

I'm wondering if anyone has run a can of 'Chromoly Purge' their CDi Diseasal in order to clean up the injectors etc. I'd be interested to read any thoughts or results people got from using it. Cheers all, Mark

Hi Everyone I recently bought a 2003 ML 270cdi with 160,000 miles on the clock and it had a couple of blowing injectors (three and four if counting from the front) - the dreaded "black death"! After reading the threads already on here (Very useful too, thankyou!) I decided that the removal...

Hi all, I'm a committed car nut who has always loved Mercedes Benz. Recently bought my first one after our ageing daily hack 328i Touring gave up the ghost. Now the proud owner of a 2006 S203 C320 CDI Sport Edition with 7-G. I absolutely love it so far. Picture attached. Been lurking...

Hi Guys, I am new to MB ownership and I am looking to buy either a new SLK 250 CDI or SLK 250 CDI AMG Sport. I would love some feedback on what you think I should choose. I love the AMG body styling but does the lower suspension and larger wheels ruin the ride? Any thoughts on this...

Been doing a bit of digging on this one. My W211 52 plate E270 CDI (68K miles) today suddenly started showing "ESP Failure", "ABS Failure", "Service Brake" and "Cruise Control" failures - all saying "drive to workshop". This sounds horribly like a failed SBC unit. I see that MB did a recall...
