C250 wont start... Again!
Hi guys,
How are you all?
I am having more woes with my W202
Went downstairs this morning to drive the other half to work, car started first time but when i had reversed about 2m out of the space it decided to suddenly cut out.
Tried starting it about 6 times before giving up for fear of flattening the battery.
I last had starting issues about 6 months ago, changed all the clear fuel lines and it had been perfect since.
Any ideas? Im stumped

did you replace all the 0 rings on the fuel lines ?. When did you change the fuel filter last ?
Have you cleaned out the prefilter ?.

All of the above had been changed about 7 months ago. Changed them all again and the car has been running fine since.
Next job is changing the rear brake pads as they are making on hell of a noise, and change the engine pulley shock absorber, for the same reason. Both jobs should be easy but I am bracing myself for a nightmare, haha!

As expected, total nightmare. Engine Pulley Shock almost got changed, but I cant get the bottom bolt out far enough for the shock to pull free.
Rear brakes... god. Basically one big lump of rust. As are the rotors. To the point that the new pads wont fit properly as they almost seem too long and hit the side of the rotors.
