    W210 E230 rough running

    Hi all, Can anyone suggest a possible reason for the following antics being exhibited by my 1995 E230 (W210)? At the point where the engine reaches 'normal' operating temperature, the engine surges whilst driving. If I am sitting in a queue of traffic (in gear) the engine speed seems to drop and...

    W202 C250D Rough running and Smokey between 2 and 3000rpm

    Hi all. My beloved C250D 1995, which has done 92k miles has always run a little rough between 2 and 300rpm. It has recently got much worse and barely runs at those revs. It misfires irregularly very badly and poors smoke out. At idle and other revs and even on full accelaration, it behaves...

    Rough Idle When in Traffic

    I don't use my car very often (I've done 110 miles this month) and have just discovered a potential problem. My car (CLK55 AMG 2000) when sitting it traffic for long periods of time, starts to idle roughly then sometimes stalls. It will re-start straight away and be fine. I have narrowed it...

    Rough idea of repair costs

    I have a 1991 300TE, which is very clean underneath, is good mechanically and needs just careful maintenance to keep it happy. There is some rust on one of the arches (both on the outer area, which is a surface blemish, and some on the inner arch, which seems a little more severe). There is...

    rough gear change in 7g auto

    I have a 2006 CLK280 with a 7g auto and the gear change from 2nd to 3rd is very obvious. When slowing down, the same applies, 3rd to 2nd but I get a noticable bump like a brief shove in the rear end. Anyone have experienced similar if so what to be done? Thanks Ian

    w126 - rough when cold

    hello, lately my '82 500 sel seems to run pretty rough until warmed up (amplified by an exhaust blow around the manifold). Seems to clear when it's up to around operating temperature and is significantly worse when the car's been parked up a few nights. It revs nicely when warmed, and pulls...

    Hello a friend of mine has the above car and is having a few problems in the morning. When she starts the car in the morning the engine is rough and won't pull. She needs to leave it running for a while to warm up until it's smooth. Also when driving after it's warm the gearbox is very...

    CLK rough running

    Hi All I have an intermittent problem with my W208 320 CLK. When at sustained high speeds of 80 or more the car will suddenly start to feel like its not running on all 6 cylinders and loose power. In fact the more I put my foot down the car actually decelerates. Also sometimes when I first...

    Can a rough idle cause an autobox to behave strangely?

    Hi Folks, I'm new to the club and to merc ownership. I picked up a cheap 1996 C200T auto recently. It was idling a little rough with a slight misfire so I changed the plugs and it's running sweet now. When it was idling rough and stopped in traffic, gearbox in D and foot on the brake, the...

    Hi all, As is the norm for my posts, some background followed by a question. You may wish to skip straight to the footer :) Background The hard gear change was once a rare occurrence. Now it is becoming more frequent. My W208 has done 96k and I have no way of knowing whether the ATF has...

    Rough idea of the cost of getting arches treated and sprayed?

    Has anyone paid to have all 4 arches done on a w210 E Class? I've just been quoted £390+vat which i think is a bit steep, i don't have much to compare it with at the moment but i'll be getting other quotes over the next few days. Work getting done was all 4 arches, leading bottom edges of...
