Hi, my first post, so please be kind. I've recently bought the above car and have been very pleased with it. Recently i've noticed a strong smell of diesel, and after removing the engine cover and checking, saw diesel squirting from the front of the engine (see images attached). Can anyone tell...
Hi there
Not sure anyone can offer advice on this issue, but thought I'd try anyway.
I have a 1997 C280 Elegance.
It's in pretty good condition, just a few small rust spots. It drives well (though is awful greedy on fuel, but that's what a 2.8. engine will do).
My problem is this...
Hi all,
Yesterday I came home for a 1 week trip in brittany, and upon arriving home, noticed some water coming out of engine bay.
Any idea what this could be due to? Overheating? running the car too hard (tough temperature gauge stayed at 80 degrees the whole time...) or more worryingly...
Hi
Just pop my car into the garage after finding a pool of diesel under the car after the weekend.
The mechanic has investigated and said the someone else has packed up the pump to hide the leak (duh) said its leaking at the union so will require a new one. It will require special tools to...
Hi,
With all the recent weather a mediorce problem has turned into a larger one resulting with a wet bum after any long night with consistant rain! The SL has a leaky roof, with water coming in from the driver side roof where the hard top touches the top of corner of the windscreen.
I...
Water leaks through on the driver side. Although hard to see, but I believe it is coming from the area where the top joins the windshield. Leaks gushes through from top of the driver side glass (at least it appears) when the car is accelarated. Seals appear to be good. Any past experience on...
I am hoping that someone can help me on this issue.
My Mercedes 320 CLK Avantgarde Convertible has water in the front passenger footwell, which is also finding its way to the rear passenger footwell on the same side.
This is happening after 'rain. I called a mobile Merc mechanic who took...

And they say it’ll cost £1,700 to replace the inlet manifold!

Hi,
Latest in the Merecedes owning saga that is a ten year old C240...a puddle of fluid appeared on the drive about a week ago - and crawling under the car confirmed it was coming from the gearbox!
Given the low clearance and the very high chance of getting 8 litres of fluid all over the...

Hi all, I have a 1999 C250TD Auto (Saloon) which I was cleaning last night when I noticed an oil leak from the front of the car (i had taken off the underbody cover). The leak was only present when the car was idling - when the engine was off no leak, when driving (reversing up the...
Just been out for a short drive, and noticed a very strong petrol smell inside the cabin and in the boot, so bad that the windows had to be down all the time.
Having got home and prodded about, the smell isn't coming from inside the engine bay, the car still runs fine. I brimmed the tank...
