Hi Guys & Gals!!
didnt mean to sound like Jimmy Saville!
I have a problem with a C250 Turbo D estate- 150k 1998 in that it seams to start and run Ok but when pushed up hill the fuel delivery cannot cope with the demand from the engine and after a very short time maybe 1/4 mile it conks out just like its running out of fuel!! After checking the fuel filter (replaced recently) its empty so lots of priming later off it goes but again as soon as there is demand from the engine it runs out.
There alos seems to be a lot of air in the fuel lines as you can clearly see air in the fuel and on the return pipe from the top of the filetr housing someone prior to my ownership has fitted a solinoid valve.
This is a car I brought to take and leave in Spain but so far I am a bit dissapointed in that it seems very slugginsh and now this fuel problem
Any help would be greatley apreiciated
Thanks Adrian
