Starting problem ??????????

[luisc240]

HI my c240 2.6 petrol w203 from 2001 didn´t start in the morning.
Called the AA's and they couldn´t find anything wrong with the car.
2nd time called them to tow the car to a garage but another AA mechanic said that there´s a fuel problem or either the pump or possibly another reason. He removed the back seat and said he couldn´t hear the pump working. So as for now still parked on my driveway decided to do some more research and I was wandering if any of you guys can advise me on what to do and how to check if it is really the fuel pump.
I did try all the options that I could remember like battery, fuses, start motor etc but dont know how to check relays and there´s no warning lights. Not taking it to mercedes, hopefully, as they charge an arm and a leg just for a diagnosis and might be something silly that will costme a fortune.
Thanks in advance.
Luis

welcome!

First thing to check is the fuse for the pump, thats the 20amp number 4 down in the rear sam (fuse board), if thats ok then i suspect the pump itself, or the wiring from the rear sam, pump causes the plug to melt and duffs the wiring up,

I think i have a rear sam and fuel pump for your car sitting in the shed!

hi

thanks for the reply
checked all that and the relay aswell
i did swap just now the relays and samething nothing happens.
if you got one and it´s suitable i would be a very happy man if we would get to arrange something because all the part suppliers said they wouldn´t hav them in stock and no one even told me how much they where.
i hope that it´s a easy fit thing.
many thanks
Luis
