diesel

Hi, I have just signed up to this because I have recently occurred a problem with my 1994 Mercedes E300 Diesel Estate. My problem... My car is a 4 gear auto with the option to select 2nd gear and 3rd gear. Randomly one day the car cut out and lost all power. All the dashboard lights...

Hi there, It seems that my shutoff valve is either sticking or leaking as it has got progressively worse over the last month or so and finally this morning I sat outside of work for over 10 minutes waiting for it to stop. So until I fix that how do I kill the engine? In the videos...

Hello and thanks in advance for any suggestions with regard to this issue. Our A-Class 160CDI SE has now competed some 112,000 miles and is 06 registered. I regularly swap from summer to winter tyres. In late April we switched back to the summer set of tyres and soon afterwards began...

Hello everyone, this is my first post! I stumbled across this site after looking at potential remap options for my 2010 C350 CDI as I'm currently quite cautions of getting it done. I have a few specific questions if anyone could help please; 1. Would the remap affect the DPF function...

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...

Hi I'm new to this forum and I could use some good advise from you guys. Recently my W203 220 CDI 2003 cut off in the middle of the road without any bad or wired noise coming from the car, it just turned off by it self. The diesel gauge is showing that is has half tank of fuel. I couldn't...

hi guys and girls, I REALLY hope that you can all shed some light on this for me! I have a 2010 vito 3.0 V6 TD with the OM642 engine. we`ve been playing silly buggers with it but we`ve hit a brick wall.......need more fuel. had it mapped, tuned etc etc but the rail pressure and injectors are...

Hi Star says there is nothing wrong with the car but its un-drivable! With the Brabus D6 connected it "pinks" at half throttle or more under load, with the kit removed it only does it when cold and flooring it. It judders and won't accelerate but the engine management light does not go on...

Still having trouble with my car - as a standard diesel, it jerks with lack of power only when cold. When warm it runs fine. When the Brabus D6 unit is refitted it is completely undriveable as the jerking occurs even at half throttle and then throws the engine management light on with the...

Hello, Been a busy week for 350 CDI's for us at GAD! Have only managed to get a few on the forum for you guys to see. This is a 2011 Mercedes E350 CDI Coupe which as always lovely on the inside and out. They truely look wicked in white. This model has the lower powered engine running...

Hey guys, Today we had the member IanWhu in for power tuning to be completed on his C350 CDI!!! It was so nice to have a C350 CDI in as the ECU is SOOOOOOO much easier to get at! The vehicle runs the 265bhp engine which has higher pressure injectors, new head, improved turbo and improve...

Hey guys, Been mega busy the last week or so and have not been on as much as we should! Here are a couple of the Mercedes we had in this weekend after the Karting event which was MEGA!!!! Really good fun with awesome members and awesome weather! Also been selling laods of our WT4 systems...

Evening guys and gals, Apologies if this is in the wrong place but I need a few pointers please on a car I'm looking at purchasing....namely a C320 CDi on an 05 plate at 135k miles... I'm in need of a motor that's going to be bullet proof, last a lot of miles and keep me entertained, all...

Hey guys, We tuned this Viano for one of our dealers based in Colchester, they are Visiontech online who there primary business is custom T5 Transporters but have been doing a few Vito's and Viano's recently. We remapped the vehicle for greater power and torque figures but I thought I...

hello all, I own a a 1997 Merc c220 diesel which has an intermittent EPC fault which results in Batman style clouds of black smoke & limited throttle response, I have to stop the vehicle switch it off, start again, sometimes the EPC light comes on straight away it might drive 20 mile or 200...

Hi Well I'm having fun with my OM642 as well. After changing endless bits in the last year for various fault codes that have cleared up those issues (such as exhaust back pressure sensor, lambda sensor, Air mass sensor, etc) I am currently left with: 2047 Rail Pressure monitoring via volume...

I have had my 2003 E270 for 2 months now and reading some of the other past threads regarding fuel economy am slightly concerned. I have done 3 brim to brim tests now and over 300+ miles with a combination of town and motorway driving at 70mph on cruise I'm struggling to get more that 34mph...

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

Not had to post on here for a long time but now need some advice for my father. We have a 1998 W202 C250 TD sport automatic. it's been fine for a while but recently after a 20+ minute drive it starts to run a bit rough and we can see air in the fuel pipe in the pipe that goes between the lift...

We spend part of our lives outside the UK and during that period, obviously my car is not used. It's a 2012 E250CDI, with only 4,000 miles on it, and it's been in an unheated but dry garage, since mid-December. We'll be back next week. What precautions should I take in terms of getting the...
