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...

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...
Need some help with a problem. Mrs Tilly came home stating she had nearly ran out of fuel. I topped up the tank with 10 litres of fuel from a jerry can. Got a call 15 minutes later saying she had broken down, and the management light had come on. Went out, and put another 10 litres of fuel in...
Hi all,
My W211 E280 petrol has the increased capacity fuel tank and I was wondering if the fuel gauge and range computer are recalibrated for that? The reason why I ask is that I've driven the car down to a range of only 5 miles remaining and then when I've filled up it's taken 72 litres...
Hi,
Im having some starting issues with my 2003 270 cdi CLK (Automatic) and was wondering whether anyone may have some idea as to what could be wrong.
- The length of time it takes to start can vary drastically
- It always turns though
- Usually (surprisingly) on a cold start (or when the...
Yesterday, I got a bee in my bonnet about the Ethanol content of fuel in the UK, so I called BP, SHELL, Total & ESSO.
I just got off the phone from a lovely man, Simon who is a technician @ ESSO/Exxon He has let me know that ESSO Premium Fuels in the south of England (draw a line from the...

Hello I am new to the forum. Always wanted a mercedes so took the plunge and bought a s320 cdi 2003 with 120k on the clock. I really love the car but I've only done a couple of thousand miles and already had the MAF replaced at £200 and recently it has shredded its fan belt. I took it into quick...
Still struggling with air in the system, I look such an idiot some of the places I have to park the car to get it facing downhill so it will start on return.
New clear lines and o rings and pre filter, Stop solenoid o ring, tank filter, all jubilee clips, diesel leak off, so all the usual...
To celebrate Charles & Dean working alongside The Mercedes Benz Forum we have decided to pay for a tank of fuel for every client who uses our services, or recommends a friend who uses Charles & Dean to finance their car throughout June.
When purchasing a new or used car Charles & Dean will...
Morning all,
Having a few problems with the old girl. Started out with a rough idle, which i put down to it actually being used, and hoped that it would sort itself out once all the gunk had gone through the system. Idle started to get worse, so started investigating. Changed plugs, leads...
What is responsible for shutting down Fuel Pump in w126 300se 1988? is it a Fuel Distributor or ECU? My fuel pump goes on and on all the time, fuel consumption is massive! Any Advice? Thanks
Seems I have an air leak somewhere in the fueling system of my W210 E300d; resulting in no fuel in the system when I come to start and then having to crank the engine over for ages for it to prime up and fire...
Once running it's fine though.
Before pulling the whole fueling system apart...
Hi,
For SL500 2003 79k miles, can we use the attached injector cleaner?
Any harm to the engine? Has anyone used this before?
Also im told for best results to only mix with half a tank of fuel rather than full? Is that so?
Hi All,
Really hoping someone might be able to help me! I made an ordinary trip to the petrol station at the weekend and the fuel filler flap on my car wouldnt open. I've tried unlocking and locking the car a few times to no avail.
I have had a look in the boot and found a flap in the...
My Brand New Dualiner is now 3 months old. It is a 115 sport trim. My part ex was the same model except it was not a "sport". Both are automatic transmission. As I understand it the differences being trim (including side steps/bars and wheel size (now 17" alloy - previously 16" steel). I had...
Hello everyone..
My MY2002 C220 CDi is exhibiting a strange problem - the engine cuts out when the tank gets to about a quarter full. I know that there is diesel in the tank because when I last filled up, I filled it right to the top.
I now carry a gallon of diesel with me in case it...
