I've seen a few posts advising against belt dressing as it can be pretty messy stuff. Just wondered if the grease thing may be a cleaner option. It is applied directly to the toothed side of the...

I am appalling at describing noises :o . I suppose it is more of a wooshing noise. I sprayed some water on it and it duly fell silent for a short while. Once the water had evaporated the noise was...

Well, I managed to obtain the part from my local MB dealer. It is now installed and so far, so good. It certainly looks very promising. It cost just over £40, so about $72 US, which isn't too bad....

It is the original part no. I'll stick a new one in (I hope it's readily available here in the UK) and let you know. Fingers crossed. Although from what you've said it seems highly probable that it...

Just noticed that you recommend the revised part no 000 540 67 45 over the original 000 540 52 45. When you enter both codes in the shop they throw up the same parts ref P2056-70038. What is the...

E280 Starting Problems

Can you shed any light onto a problem I am having with my 94 E280 Auto. To be honest the car spends most if it's time garaged, so doesn't get out on long runs very often. If I go on a short run of a...
