My 2010 C350 was shaking quit a lot and I decided to check under the bonnet to investigate further... that is when I found a cover had melted close to my oil cap and after I dug out the debris and cleaned it up I could then see a hole. When I turned the ignition on it started spitting diesel and...

Hi Stupidly left my headlights on over night, battery is dead as a Dodo. I've seen videos on YT that show a red cap you push in to expose a positive terminal and that there is a pillar sticking out on body work for the negative. My van does not have these I can't find them anywhere. The van...

I have very recently purchased a A160 automatic (58) and have been told by a mechanic that there is a problem with the gearbox. I took it back to the garage under the 1 month warranty but they say they can't find anything wrong?! I am used to driving a bigger (V6 3.7L) automatic, so expected...

Hi guys and gals I have an a200 2014 7G-DCT, and when I start the car in park (cold or warm) the engine sounds like it wants to pull away - as if it was in drive and there was a strain (I'm pretty sure the car isn't trying to move). It almost sounds like a soft knock or wobble. If I click the...

Hi all, 3.0l V6 Vito, following a piston meltdown due to an injector failure (and me continuing to drive for 10 miles) I need either another engine or mine to be rebuilt/reconditioned (melted piston head and damage to the bore). Reconditioning is not an easy job on an aluminium block, and it...
