Hello everyone, It looks like 95% of the issues i have to deal with are vibrations again and again with my cars. Anyway, i'd like to find a cure for this one as it has been driving me insane for months now. My car is a 1996 E280 Avantgarde in very good shape and it has 150,000 km on the clock...

Done! 80% of the vibration of the car is gone! The biggest issue i had to deal with is that the metal inserts were pushed the wrong way, tightening the bolts again with the flex disc correctly installed helped but the flex disc is still not 100% straight, hard to explain without a picture. I'll...

I'll keep you posted for sure! I've seen hundreds of threads on various forums and no one ever made any mention of this. Fingers crossed.

Thank you, i owe you a lot. You got me thinking about the flex disc and i think the new flex disc is not installed as it should. As i understand it, the propshaft turns clockwise looking towards the rear of the car. This means the propshaft "pushes" the thicker part of the flex disc. Mine is...

It is brand new.

The wheels look perfect and i have inspected them a few times alreay. A mechanic told be it could be a wheel bearing and to be honest there's a lot of road noise in the cabin, something that could be a wheel bearing but i can't imagine a bearing making this kind of rumble that feels like an open...

Didn't mention it but i've tried driving with the plastic undertrays on and off the car as well! I can feel the vibration in the armrest and seats, about the 80-100 kmh is the worst and it doesn't get worse the faster i go, it may even be slightly smoother at say 130-140 kmh.

It's hard to tell but to me it feels more like it is propshaft related, it feels like it matches engine rpm in 4th gear (4th gear ratio is 1:1 i believe).

Hello everyone! I am trying to get rid of a driveline vibration, i'll try to explain as best as i can what happens but this is really doing my head in. I bought the car about a year ago and swapped the motor mounts and front flex disc as they were decimated (Lemförder mounts, SGF flex discs)...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if any of you had your eco-junk wiring harness repaired by MKB-TEC in germany. I'm pretty sure the build quality is awesome but they seem a bit sluggish. They state that the product will be sent back the customer immediately once repaired but it's been a few days...

Yes, sometimes i have to go in other cars from the same era or even newer and i understand what rattle means. The shifter rattle comes from a bushing completely missing at the end of the rod between the shifter and the transmission.

Forgot to mention that it is the 93 220E, not the estate.

Hard to tell, are you talking about rust forming on the metal part inside the rubber mount or the chassis? The chassis has little rust where the subframe mounts to it. I caught that in time when the factory coating was slowly starting to peel off, i sanded it off and it's all solid metal.

Thanks, The panel was remove before and i think there's a loose bolt, probably the check strap. It sounds like it's coming from the front. I'll report when the noise is fixed.
