acceleration

Hello As the title says, under medium to hard acceleration the traction control light will start flashing and thinking the car is skidding/loosing traction when it isn't. If I release the accelerator pedal and then back on theaccelerator the light will go off and the car will accelerate...

Hi Gents, So recently i have been having a niggling issue with my 2008 CLS 320CDI when i put my foot down to over take (steady 30mph to say 50mph) the car judders badly and the power seems to cut out) not sure if its the box trying to change down gears (i have it in 'C' mode) or if its a fuel...

I have a w211 e55 and the last few days when acceleration hard ive noticed the gear shifter vibrating/bouncing and a horrible rubbing/ossilating/knocking sound coming fron the front of the car, this is only under hard acceleration or kickdown Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hello all, My friend was following behind me one day and said when I was accelerating hard there was quite a noticeable smell of fuel or oil (he wasn't entirely sure what the smell was). I have smelt it occasionally in the cabin. There's no smoke and the car appears to be running fine (not...

Evening all The beast AKA C43 is now out for the summer I notice a huge difference in acceleration between it shd the CLK430 I know the CLK is fly be wire , and the 43' good old fashioned cable , but should there be such a noticeable edge in pick up? The 43 just seems to want to go...

Hey people I noticed sometimes when I want to over take someone on the motorway and drop a gear to accelerate when I accelerate the engine drops temp from like 90 to just over the 80 degree mark .. Not sure how often it happens as it could only happen when the engine isn't fully warm I.e temp...

I've just bought a 1999 w208 clk320, and ive just noticed (presumably thanks to the windows down weather) that under acceleration, the car makes a very noticeable whistling noise. It stops if I accelerate harder, and if I take my foot off, it is most noticeable when using just enough gas to...

My 55 plate 109 CDI has had a rattle since I bought it 6 months ago there was 83k on the clock when I bought it with service history to back that. I've serviced it and had 3000 trouble free miles from it, it doesn't smoke or drink oil, fuel consumption is good and it starts fine and pulls well...

Hi Guys, I've got an issue with my Merc 1996 w210 e230 petrol. When it starts up from cold the idle is lumpy until it warms up after a few minutes, then runs fine. Acceleration is flat and slow, it has only been driven in town, but on Friday I gave it a good run on the motorway and now...

Hi all, I recently bought my first Mercedes and very pleased with it :) It's a 1998 C200 Elegance Estate Auto, I bought it very cheap but it has an acceleration problem. When I drive it, it feels as if the accelerator pedal isn't sensing how far I push it down. The car itself is quite...

Just had an issues that I hope is very minor. Car was cool to warm. Started the engine and all was fine, no warnings and it sounded normal. As I was getting out of a long car park I didn't really give it any gas. When I tried to give it some gas the car did not accelerate any more even...

We recently drove from Southern Spain to Gloucestershire in our (acquired for the purpose) W211 estate. Despite its relatively high mileage (215k), it turned the journey into a comparative delight and we are hugely impressed. A couple of things did concern us and I was hoping the brains trust...

Hello guys I am selling my 2006 e280 sport it's got a Brabus tuning kit on and had someone round tonight. He said its hesitant on acceleration. I think he meant without using the kick down it didn't pull well. I've never driven another the same as mine so Id never notice. Has anyone else had...

Hi Folks Just bought a 1998 SL320 and on the whole its great a few issues around vacuum driven locking etc are present but are acceptable - however on acceleration (foot from mid to quite hard down) the power just goes, almost as if a engine stopped and then a big jolt as power kicks in again...

Hey guys a customer of ours in Spain sent this footage of his newly tuned A45 running our kit..not bad for the 'baby AMG'.... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cDhpj3ZJ7Q8&feature=youtu.be

Hi. Sorry, know next to nothing about cars so might struggle to articulate this. Got an 09 plate e220 Cdi. Fine most of the time, drives well but on hard acceleration I get a huge cloud of black smoke. Accelerates fine otherwise. Worried it might be something nasty. Any help/advice...

I Guys, This is my fist posting so hopefully I have done it correctly . I have a 2001 SLK which I have owned for a year. She has full MB service history and just 59,000 miles. Sometimes such as yesterday, she just would not accelerate from standstill. It was like she had fallen asleep and the...

I have read the helpful posts at the top of the sections regarding the Loss of Power, but the problem I have is in the mornings, my car will struggle to accelerate. But after its warmed up it will run fine and not give the problem. It has no issues revving above 3k and will kick down when...
