acceleration

Hi guy's an gals i'm new to the forum but I'm unfortunately looking for help. Not long bought a Mercedes black hardtop converter - 1999 SLK 200K with around 74000 mile on her. Within a few weeks of having the car i'm now noticing a knocking or thumping type noise from beneeth the car which...

I'm guessing this is a linkage issue but would appreciate the reassurance... My 1990 W124 200E accelerates more rapidly with the pedal pressed to approx 3\4 maximum. Pressing the pedal fully down reduces the acceleration by a noticeable, but not massive degree. All is running well, good...

Hey guys ive owned a W210 E55 AMG for few months now its been great to me from the start so ive replaced few parts on it from the start so to say regular maintenance..... Then few months later started having a lot of acceleration issues i literary thew all of these parts at the car: Bosch...

I really hope this is not really bad news.........have noticed on accelerating from standing start grey smoke......accelerate hard on motorway.....can generate a smokescreen! only lasts for a second or two at most then clear. No smoke when pottering around normally....:( Any ideas.....I'm...

hi folks, new member here.. just bought my self another w210 e55 amg, after selling my bmw 635csi - now the car had been locked away in previous owners lockup (he's in spain most of time). Battery was completely and utterly dead, and the guy who fired it up for me had jump started it. it was...

Have problem with my 500SEC. it seriusly lacks power and acclereration. It starts perfectly, idles perfectly, responsive and almost normal on low rpm and partial throttle but when the throttle is opened up more then a quarter then it really acclerates slowly and is really hard to get over...

Under acceleration and mainly exiting a roundabout (road bending to the left) I get a noise from the transmission tunnel. It's almost like a rubbing or grinding noise and has only started doing it in the last 6 months. Any ideas as what it could be or if it's a common fault that people have...

Hi to all MB Club members. I have owned my first MB for just coming up to a year and absolutely love it. Had it serviced & MOT two weeks ago - no problems :thumb: m drive it in the middle of the week , no problems, but last weekend the car started playing up. The car turns over & idles...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and require some advice if possible. I have done much searching on Google for my problem but still not getting anywhere. My CLK430 is 2001, its had limited service history and has poor acceleration. It's done just under 120,000 miles. I have had the car for...

Hi, I have a 51 plate C220CDI which I recently bought. After buying it, the car ran fine, but was smoking a little under heavy acceleration when I used kickdown for instance so did some research online and read that it could be Injectors, EGR, intercooler pipes, MAF etcetc. When I took the...

Hi, Now, I may be imagining this as its been a long time since I last had an automatic but I picked up my first Merc last week and Im feeling like its pretty slow to pull away from stop. its when Im at a junction/roundabout/lights, it feels a wee bit laggy to begin with, even when I switch...

I have a ml270 cdi if I put my foot down at the lights or from a stand still I get a horrible whine for a few minutes after. Is this normal as the turbo is being used? If Im traveling at say 20mph and put my foot down there is no noise. The engine is at temp about 90 degrees. Just wondered...

Hi,im a new member here. I've just been given my fathers 2004 E220 diesel estate,the car has a bad vibration from 30-40mph on acceleration,this then disappears and the car drives fine.On gentle acceleration there is no or little vibration at all,i was thinking this could be a propshaft bearing...

Just wondering if anybody has come across this problem. When I accelerate my car I can hear a noise coming from some place in the engine bay. The noise is a diesely rattle just like a faulty injector. It is not there at a steady speed and only when accelerating at all revs. I assumed it was an...

I found this informative website that provides a lot of interesting detail on most, if not all, current and previous Mercedes models (and most other car makes as well). I've attached a link to my particular car but it's quite easy to search for your own. It's the first website i'm aware of where...

hi,i have a 2005 e320 av 3.0 v6 diesel,and under acceleration it starts to jerk about whilst changing gear as if it wont change up and it can be quite servere at slow speeds has anyone had this before it is a 7g auto box . ta:dk:

I have a problem with my 2003 vito 108cdi and I just can't seem to find out what it could be so if anyone has an idea I would be grateful to hear what you think it may be. Just over a year ago I had the injector seals done as they were leaking, then a month or so later I noticed that while...

I have an R129 SL500 1996 model with 80,000 miles on the clock. When I start off from cold and get to around 2000 rpm I am hearing a strange turbine-like low pitched whistling noise which appears to be coming from the driver's side of the engine compartment. If I ease off it stops or if I...
