- W210 E320 cdi Avantgarde (2001)
Hi All,
My e320cdi (2001) had developed a diesel leak at the front of the engine - after being parked for a couple of days! The brittle pipes appeared to be the logical part for replacement based on various posts.
Having replaced the pipes, there STILL appears to be leaking diesel. So I assume that it must be the diesel pump. So:
1. Any way of verifying if it is the pump? I have been told that it could be other pipes lower down in the engine?
2. Is the pump replacement a big job, i.e., removal of the radiator etc?
3. Any idea of costs of the replacement pump?
If you have any other suggestions etc, please let me know.
Many thanks in anticipation.
