Hi all, new to forum, I have a 57 C220 Sport Manual Gearbox, I am getting a noise in 4th and 6th gear, under acceleration, like maybe a grinding type of noise?? Other gears are fine, and car runs and drives great apart from this, gear change is smooth etc, and it only appears when accelerating...

Hi all... Picked up my ML last week. All was fine but then for some reason yesterday the power was totally lacking. We did a town and motorway run and there appears to be a problem... The car seems to not want to rev past 2200-2500 rpms. It feels like the turbo isn't there. On motorways it...

Hi. I've got a 2.5 16v Auto which has developed a problem regarding the gearbox. When I accelerate from a standing start, the car initially starts to go and within a few seconds slips into neutral and then a couple of seconds later slips back into gear and drives fine until I halt at...

Strange problem others may be able to help me with. When starting from cold my C200 (WDB202) feels almost choked for the first 2 minutes. Almost no acceleration and a max speed of about 20 mph. After about 1 mile it starts to regain acceleration and is fine and perfectly normal for the rest of...

C220 CDi SE Auto. 7,000 miles. For example: I'm waiting stationary at a junction or lights. Regardless of whether I have placed the auto box in Park or not, when I depress the accelerator pedal, from standstill, there's a one to two second delay before the car starts to move. Something...

58 320cdi cls (facelift model) As I pulled out of my drive and accelerated the car started shuddering as if it had air in the fuel, the resurve light was on but still had 50 miles or so in the range, so I filled up at the nearest garage but every few miles if u floor it it will shudder still...

hi my car has bad judder when it accelerates kinda goes a bit when the auto box shifts into second gear but it vibrates in the other gears.before i bought the car i checked on the internet and thought it may be a flexi disk or propshaft thing,cant remember the name but i guess you will know...

hi, i ve got a vito 108 cdi y reg 2001 model. The problem is it went into limp mode (i think). It does not rev past 3000revs, but it was still ok to drive. 70 mph max. Then a couple of weeks after that the revving slowed down and the van accelerates very very slowly. The engine sounds fine still...

I was hopefull somebody could help me with this problem, every so often during driving my 2002 C220 Cdi the car only accelerates slowly, theres no smoke, no noises,no messages on the dash it eventualy gets up to the speed I want but obviously isnt well. If the car is stopped and the engine off...

Hi everyone, new 300sl member here. I have just bought a 1992 300SL with 146000 on the clock. The car is in great condition, no rust, all electrics work, new roof, cylinder head done in 2007, all with substantial MB service records etc etc. The problem I am having is there is a noticeable lack...

Can someone please help my e270 is loosing acceleration sometimes, I then have to switch the engine off when I switch it back on everything is fine again for another while. Fault code states charge pressure too high. I have replaced the turbo and the sensors someone said could be the egr valve...

My 320E has a rather disturbing trick of cutting out under full acceleration. It only happens under full (pedal to the metal) acceleration, and always at about 70 mph. Just cuts out. It will start again instantly once I've coasted to a stop, with no seeming ill effects. Under partial and near...

i have joined this site for my neighbor who is having some trouble with his ml270 the car is on an 06 plate, when sat at tick over its sweet as a nut but as soon as he accelerates the water pipe at the front of the engine bay sucks flat like it has no pressure in it or like it has a blockage...

Hi Again Forum, Ever since I have owned the car, I get a Big cloud of smoke under heavy long acceleration. It will continue to pump up smoke until I release the gas. Highly visable at night in a rear view mirror. The car runs perfectly fine, no smoke on idle or normal driving. This does not...

Dear fellow techies, I have started to notice something which may or may not be normal. When I go WOT in the car, I notice very small amounts of white smoke (but enough to be visible in my RVM) coming out of the exhaust. This is sometimes accompanied by an unpleasant smell in the cabin when I...
