acceleration

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction with an issue that started yesterday and is progressively getting worse. My apologies in advance if it appears I am rambling, or not giving the right info. Anyway, Here goes..... I own a 2004 CLK270 which I love. I...

Recently my clk500 has started chugging whilst accelerating between 60-120 (I know I shouldn't be driving this fast but!!!) the best way I can describe it is like when your ridding a bike and the chain slips! There is also a rubbing/grinding sound/feeling coming from the rear wheel area! I...

ESP now back working thanks to my good lady fitting new sensor as i am just out of hosp. Not able to bend as spine fused ouch ! Is there a way to test the old sensor to confirm that it has failed out of curiosity ?. As new one plastic and old one metal box that you can undo. Any idea's help...

This is spoiling my fun, can anybody point me in the right direction? :thumb: If I put foot to the floor at 40mph, then the car correctly kicks down. But it then revs out to 5000rpm in that gear , then fails to change up then stays at 5000 rpm then runs rough with a top speed of 50mph...

I have been looking to buy a C200. Am getting an Approved Used 2008 C200 Kompressor SE from Mercedes dealer. However, the accelaration on the car seems to be slow, and the gear changes (automatic) are jerky. I notice a difference from the other cars that I have test driven. The gear changes...

Hi people, I have a W208 Clk 320. When I put my foot down to accelerate then there is a lag before it reacts and then it moves. What could this be? I read somewhere that this could be throttle pedal fault

Hi Guys, I have a 05 C220 Auto Diesel. 98K I just came back from a short 100 mile trip and the car suddenly lost all of the power. The car seems to change gear very early. (For example, it will change to top gear when you reach 30mph) I am now struggling to reach 70mph and when on a...

I have a 2005 E280 automatic that has a problem accelerating specifically when over taking which is a bit dangerous. I have no problems when driving normally but if joining a motorway or overtaking a vehicle the car won't accelerate above about 40. I have no technical expertise so any response...

I drive a 1991 W124 300d with the 6 cylinder 12 valve non turbo engine, and 4 speed auto box, in which 1st is rarely used. Auto box is important. Unless it is a hill start, I give it a whiff of throttle, somewhere between 1,000 and 1,200 RPM depending on road, grade, etc, and leave the throttle...

Hello, I have a year 2000 E320 CDI W210 with 68k on the clock which I have had a month. A few weeks ago I was coming off a roundabout and floored it. The gearbox immediately went into neutral and the revs obviously hit the redline. I eased off and went to pull over but as I slowed down the...

My E300 TD estate have approx 190k on clock. When first start journey all seems well with good acceleration then once engine warm when I put my foot down at 30-70mph the rev counter flies up and the speedo hardly moves. At slower speeds it jumps to next gear instead of accelerating in the...

Hi All, My friends W124 Cab has a problem where the tombstone headrests pop up after heavy acceleration. has anyone encountered this before and if so what was the fix, I'm thinking a sensor of some sort or a module. any help welcome. Thanks in advance K

Hi all, This is my first post as a new member on the forum, i have just bought a E240 2.6 V6 Petrol 7 seater estate with 79,000 on a 2000 W plate.. on acceleration (putting your foot down to overtake lets say causes a whistle from the engine bay, this whistle is not present at any other time...

For a while now, my W202 has has a slightly lumpy acceleration. This happens only at low revs and usually is noticeable in low gears. If I put it into first, and pull away applying a lot of clutch down, it's fairly smooth. That said, if I release the clutch, it's quite lumpy... My...

OK, so I tried a 0-60 run in my car this morning with Traction OFF. Wow, my car is fast..I don't have a timer but I did count and it was 5 seconds at most. Makes a massive difference with Traction off, just need to work out how to stop the wheels spinning now...LOL

HI This is my first post on here about my first diesel engine. Always been a petrol head prior to the rocketing fuel prices in UK. Anyways rant over. So Whenever I accelerate whilst moving off or kick down i see a trail of thick black smog behind me with the ML seemingly lacking power and...

Hi all, My 2004 E200k has developed a judder/thump and hesitant to accelerate in the lower revs. This is much prominent in the mornings when cold. Seems to be ok when it reaches normal temp. The gear changes are smooth - etc. Also the car has started doing really bad on Fuel - i'm averaging...

Vacuum lines seem to always cause me problems on my cars. The car in question is a grey turbo technics 300te 24 which I now own. Its strange with half AMG bodykit (missing front bumper) and carat duchalet wheels. History shows it probably once had AMG rims and a different suspension as wheels...

Hi all I have a confusing problem in my '84 280CE, which is difficult to diagnose, partly because it only occurs under hard acceleration from a standstill or low speed, especially (but not only) around corners. It sounds like metal grinding intermittently, emanating from the driver's...
