Off for some investigation tomorrow but anyone want to hazard a guess at what might be causing it? As above - it's a vibrating sound which sounds like a tyre is fouling on something - but clearly coming from the back right corner... Cannot see anything obvious but I thought diff / shaft or...

And another strange one. 1995 E 300 Diesel Estate - when toeing the gas pedal, there's a kind of whooshing noise coming from the front somewhere. It stops when the pressure on the pedal is relaxed. It's almost like a turbo noise, except I don't have a turbo. It does not sound particularly...

I was driving quite casually for a while in my W221, and then when I finally got some space I decided to accelerate at around the 40 mark and noticed no power was felt, the rev meter almost stayed at 2 revs if not lower and the car slowly accelerated. I even put my foot down to the floor and...

Hi people, I'm new to this site and judging by the threads and contributions, I'm confident I may find the just solution for my Mercedes. I'm a proud owner of a C180 AvantGarde with AMG Styling. I have owned the vehicle for just over a year. The problem I am having is so annoying and...

Hi All, I am getting a bit lost on ideas now, and would appreciate any help. I find the car hesitates when I put my foot down, there is a long pause then the car slowly starts picking up speed. I changed the MAF for original bosh part, and spark plugs were changes in Nov 2010. I also...

Have just started getting a strange wooshing noise when accelerating which goes away when you lift off and run at a steady speed. Touch the throttle and you can hear it rise and fall when you lift off. It is getting quite loud now and I can't work out where it is coming from, anyone got any ideas?

Hi All The car vibrates at 55 - 60 mph when accelerating. I've also noticed that fuel consumption is 4-5mpg less than normal. Any ideas?? I was thinking it might be a prop shaft joint or mass air flow?? It had been suffering a power loss problem when warmed up after an hour's driving...

Hi - hopefully a simple quetion from a newbie. I have just bought a w211 320 CDI. There is howver a small problem - I have tried to RTF but couldn't find an answer. When I accelerate (at a medium sort of pace) from relatively low revs there seems to be some slight hesitation - followed by a...

HI all, I have a W211 E240 2003. The problem is that everytime I press the accenerator the car does not move until after about a second or two. The RPM stays on idle and then a second or two later the RPMs come alive and the car sprints of the line. It is really bad when reversing - 2-3 second...

I have got aW212 E250 CDI Sport. This is my first ever diesel and first ever automatic. When I accelerate hard, there seems to be a 1-2 second delay before it decides to go. Is this normal? I though it had 2 turbos to eliminate this kind of thing?

hi, i just bought this c200 1998 auto and whenever i press the accelerator hard, the engine stalls because the the revs drop. only option is to slowly press the accelerator and when the revs slightly increase, then floor it. any suggestions what the problem might be? i hope its not much to...

Hi......i have a very strange condition with my 210 estate 300d. Drives great, gearbox seems fine, no jerks, nice and smooth etc. The problem is when accelerating, as the auto box changes gear, the car seems to push/sway out for a split second. Seems to be from 50 mph onwards, motorway...

Hi All Just bought a w203 220cdi (55 plate) and have noticed a knocking noise when I press hard on the accelerator. Any ideas what this could be? I love the car but am rather concerned about this knocking... Any help or advice greatly appreciated... Thanks

Hi, recently bought a C180 Elegance (2001). It was running fine, but it has developed a problem recently. It hesitates when accelerating from idle (similar to a 'flatspot'), but seems fine after that when cruising. It also idles suspiciously (hunting?) when first started in the morning for...

Evenin' all. My 2001 313cdi sprinter makes a whining noise when accelerating and decelerating - sounds a bit like and old fashioned police siren. Just replaced the viscous fan so all quiet now apart from the whining noise. :( Any ideas? Many Thanks. Paul.

I have a CLK W208. When I accelerate anything above what I'd say is the car's top 3/4 level of performance, the speedo tends to get 'stuck' as the car accelerates. It gets worse the faster you go - the odd occasion I floor it, my sat nav says I'm doing 70 when the speedo says 40, then it moves...

Hi Guys Please help!! I have just bought a ML 270CDi on a 02 plate with 92K on the clock and full MB history. I have had a number of issues with the ML including the 22in alloys it came with being held on with a couple of the wheel nuts having string wrapped around them!! but I'll leave that...
