Hi could someone tell me wether Audi. And BMW wheels will fit a c280 1997 model? Thanx

Hi, my c280 is pouring fuel out of a split pipe located bolted to the underside of the boot well , one of the pipes leads to the fuel filter. Do I have to remove the tank to acess it?? It's a ***** to get to.

audi possibly but depends on the dimensions, bmw no.

I'm thinking you are talking about the filler pipe hose that is visible right under the filler neck inside the wheel well?, that has a tendency to crack, very common. It's a quick fix, around 15 mins, if that. It's been covered should come up in a search.

than you phil, but i think that we arent talking about the same thing here. Il try to be a bit clearer in my description: there are two pipes located on the underside of the car boot/trunk, which run left to right along, and above the line of the wishbone, and are held up by a plastic 10mm nut. The pipes enter and leave the larger fuel filter, one feed one return,one plastic one metal. i am not sure as how to acess them without removing the suspension,drive shafts and wishbone. Il try take a photo, but i cant ven get my fingers in - let alone a camera!, is it me or do mercedes like to overcomplicate what should be a very simple job?, thanks once again

yeah different pipe, hopefully someone else has some answers?, i haven't been under there in a while, although I really need to swap out my fuel filter .

Concerning the wheels... they both won't fit. The center hole of Audi wheels is smaller.
