w204(2008) c320 cdi nightmare

[krause2k]

My vehicle inspection turned out to be a nightmare..
Power steering leak (turned out its the pipe and pump)..
Diesel leak, approximately the cost to repair it? (Attached image from where the leak is coming)
Coolant leak, approximately the cost to repair it? (Attached image from where the leak is coming)

Fuel pipes could be split , you can cut them back and put fuel pipe clips on or use those clamp ones that's fitted. You have maybe 1 cm of spare hose.Could just need new clips put on . ?

The coolant leak may just need the pipe pulling , cleaning and refitting . Failing that you'd need a new coolant hose.

As above , cheap fixes . Might as well fit a new fuel filter at the time .

If you are handy then those fixes are cheap as chips.

Diesel leak - check end of fuel hose - may be split. Use fresh blade, cut to good rubber and NEW R clip NOT A jubilee clip. Easy with bull nose pliers.

Whats the snot on the coolant pipe. Has someone tried to fix a leax before. Rubber to metal pipe ends known weak point generally - new pipe from dealers. - top up and bleed coolant.

Not common for PS pumps to fail. Clean it up and check.

Labour prob 2 hours, plus what parts are needed (maybe fuel line, r clip, fuel filter, maybe ps pump (costly))

Those diesel hoses are dual layer and the inside layer breaks down and diesel leaks out between the layers where the 'string' reinforcement runs. Much easier to buy new and not that expensive. MB Newcastle ebay shop is good for those at a reasonable price https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/mercedesandsmartnewcastle - also get new clamps, they are different sizes if I remember right - call them is the easiest way. And definitely a new fuel filter whilst you are at it.
