- 350 slk, 200kW, 220CDI estate.
My son gave me his old (55 reg) 220 CDI and I've been repairing all the broken bits and faults that have accumulated over the years and 195000 miles.
I drove through Yorkshire once and since then have always watched the pennies so I invariably use second hand bits except in key positions.
The next phase of work involves the PCV system which I deem as a key component and I'm annoyed to discover that I can't easily find a diaphragm to fit in the PCV which forms part of quite an expensive component.
Have I missed something, is there such a beast out there?
One of the reasons for doing this is the amount of small oil leaks on the engine that I believe are exacerbated by the reduced operation of this system.
Second query is the spec sheet from M-B quotes imitation Leather upholstery, is this german longhand for PVC?
Moving on, how can I establish the design power output of the motor, my son swears its 110kW but it doesn't flag up as that when entering the reg no on some sites, just curiosity really.
Very occasionally when starting the binnacle and a whole lot of other components switch off, easily reset by stopping and restarting the motor, is this the sign of a duff battery? It didn't happen on my SLK so I'm stymied.
The last of my general queries is regarding the courtesy lighting, the driver's door doesn't trigger this; the passenger door does is there a secret bunch of commands in the electronics as per audi where one can set this to suit or is it a "STAR" feature.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
