Hi, i will be doing my flywheel and clutch replacement on a sprinter 313cdi from 2000 (model 2000-2006) in a few days, i coundt find any information, accept yours, so thank you for this. Only i would like to know what the tightening specs are for the bolts of the flywheel and clutch? I don’t know at how many NM? I contacted Mercedes but even they couldnt (or wouldnt) tell me because they say the car is to old and they don’t keep the information.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Steve can I just say it takes time to read these and get back to people with advice.. For this I would like thank you for all your time and effort! You have helped us all no end!
My question is on my recent purchase of a CLS 320 CDI auto 2008..
I have fitted a new Bosch Injector to one that was chuffing and had a lot of carbon built up around it..
I gave my vin number when I ordered it and was told this was the correct injector for the car.. I’ve now fitted it and everything seems fine. My only worry is a comment somebody made with regarding mapping the Injector to the Ecu? I haven’t done this and it runs fine? I just wanted reassuring that was all? I too used the Honder copper washer and followed all your advice on here!

Thanks Steve

Thank you for the great info! Have exactly the same problem all be it more going into 2nd when cold. I’ll be giving it a go!

That was a great explanation and helped me fix my lights. Thanks so much 👍👍

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this page! My 2001 SLK door locks died today and I believe your diagnosis is spot on. It’s the drivers door that has the audible hiss comming from it. The trunk and passenger door still work as advertised after a wait. As was said here I can here the pump running longer then usual till it times out. This car is like new with only 51,000 miles on it and thus the cabin is pretty air tight and the door takes an extra nudge to close it completely and that extra jaring has probably broken off that little elbow as you have described. When it warms up a little here I’m going to get that door panel off and fix this as you have described. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks guys really helped

I’ve got 3 problems I can’t understand on my 2010 Vito Dualiner.
1. I have the same fan noise in the passenger footwell and a quieter one above the radio which seems to stop if I turn ignition on and off a second time.
2. The radio works fine but and if I put a cd in the player it plays ok but then the trouble starts. If I want to eject it and put another cd in it wont accept another cd. Pushing harder makes no difference. I then try to turn the radio off and on and the radio wont turn off. If I switch the engine off it stays on. If I switch the engine back on it turns off. If I then switch ignition off again radio stays off but you can hear a whirring sound as if the cd is trying to load. The only way to stop it is to put a cd approx. an inch inside the slot then withdraw it and the noise stops. What could this be?
3. Last but not least an irritating one. My warning light illuminates telling me I have a problem with my lights but when we check they all work perfectly. Warning light doesn’t always illuminate sometimes I can put the lights on and no warning light at all? Would value your comments folks. This is the first Merc I’ve owned.

Hello. I have mb c270 cdi 2002. Found that there is oil skin in expansion tank. I thougt, that oil cooler problem. Changed with a new cooler, seals. Cleaned expansion tank, however, thin oil skin comes again. Any ideas? Blown head gasket, cracked head? Pain in the butt. Also while not hot, there is hesitation, revs jumping up and down. Doing like a pig. Like 50c- 60 c reached, everything goes fine. Diagnostic shows heater booster. Is it possible, that its fault? Also sometimes wont start in first cycle. Changed both sensors: camshaf/crankshaft. Can be fuel pressure regulator issue? When cold gearbox hits, but after that, when it warm, hitting stops or hits are more gentle. So its hydro tranformator, right? 😀 Thank you fro the answers.

I have a 2500 2011 sprinter Mercedes-Benz it was running good no lights o advice, I park go to the store get out and don start, check, high pressure pump, pump fuel, good ,but cut the fuel suply and don’t starts any advice ,thanks
