Hi,
I've recently noticed that my e430 under acceleration seems to drag towards the right, then towards the left after the burst. Car drivers straight at a constant speed only experience this phenomenon during acceleration bursts.
Few thoughts come to our mind, Rear wheels out of alignment...
Folks
I've got a significant misfire on acceleration and the car (a '93 600SEC) doesn't want to go anywhere near the red line. If I ease off the throttle a little, then the engine seems happier. I'm also getting less miles per gallon than I should.
I don't have an exhaust gas analyser though...
hi, my 200 has a problem which i thought would go away with the replacement of the fuel filter but hasnt.
on a cold start, it takes a good few cranks to get it going, and will cough and fart until it eventually catches. then when it does go it will idle, but as soon as you put your foot on...
my e320"1999" is smokin on acceleration,old dear was huggin my rear bumper yesterday and decided to "lose her" (she was in a tiny daihatsu,or something) so wellied it and couldnt see her for black smoke? it was great fun but why the smoke??
:wallbash: Hi, sort of new to this and not a great mechanic but would like to have a go at fixing my problem myself. I have replaced the air flow sensor, but my c class still, lets say every other time does not seem to have any acceleration (0-60mph in eighteen seconds) but still drives great...
I have an 03 model C270CDi Estate Avantgarde with 120K miles on the clock, FSH etc etc
I noticed today on pulling out that the Turbo seems to have stopped working. Car drives just fine but if I floor the pedal nothing happens, no kick down, nothing, car just continues to accelerate as if I...
Can anybody help, I have had a misfire issue for a while now. There is no problem when i drive normally, but if i put my foot down to acceleration quickly I get a misfire. If I pull over and restart the car the problem goes away, I have had the plugs changed and also the fuel line drained in...
Hi folks ,

I have noticed ,mainly when cold ,that under light acceleration I seem to get a bit of vibration when setting off .Car has done 59k miles .I have no idea where its coming from ,gearbox ,prop ,or engine ...
Hi all,
My '03 E220 CDi has the following issues.
- Long starting
- at times idle goes up and down, at times it is fine.
- Acceleration is also poor. when I press the accelerator, i have to wait for the car to start moving - on higher revs its fine and reaches the rev limiter easily.
- poor...
The title says it all. The car sounds like a small steam train wher you ure under any sort of acceleration. The exhaust has been checked from end to end and there is no sign of any air leaks, but when you start driving it makes a chuffing type of noise all through the rev range. I suspect that...
I spotted this W211 thread on another forum last night and wondered if anyone here has heard of it or tried it.
"You can reset the tcu/ecu to factory specs which makes the transmission more responsive with higher shift points"
This is the instruction to do it:
"Get in the car,close the...

Can any one please tell me where this can be found. need the product number off of...
Hi, I have a 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E220 CDI with 76,000 mileage. There is a problem with exhaust tail pipe smoke on acceleration. I have recently got the injectors overhauled and B-service done. The car still gives out black smoke on acceleration. The car’s pull is OK (no loss of power) and...
Hi all,
Thought I'd bring a problem to the panel:
Intermittently, I have noticed that kick-down is not working correctly. Instead of dropping down a few gears and galloping away, I hear the engine doing this but do not feel anything happen! Its almost like there's a limiter on - checked...
I've just bought a year 2000 W220, love it to bits already. :bannana:
There's been one problem that's developed as soon as I got the car.
The car was on 0 litres in the tank when I got it, but managed to drive 1.2 miles to the nearest petrol station, Texaco, filled up with a full tank, 81...
Hi all,
on another post, some kind of gearbox,throttle reset has been mentioned to cure acceleration/kickdown issues resulting from adapting to driving style. My e280cdi has this problem i think as i drive in a lot of traffic, so do not make use of the acceleration often.
does anyone know...
Hi all, hoping you guys can help.
i recently bought a 280cdi sport 211. before that i had a 210 320cdi. The 280 is much smoother than the old 320 at least. however the 211 320 is probably even smoother (never tried it cos was getting too good a deal on the 280)
However i think there is...
After I washed the engine of my E320 for the first time I have this problem: the engine is sputtering and "lurching", it feels like something is way off balance. The whole car shakes it feels almost like the timing is somehow thrown off, but the engine still runs. It doesn't seem to do it for...
While driving back from seeing a customer today, I decided rather than take the motorway, I would take the scenic route home.
While I was happy to pootle along and enjoy the scenery when I wanted to accelerate the car wouldn't accelerate fast enough nor would it go into kickdown when I...
The problem seems to have got worse over the past few months, the cars been driven less than 1000 miles over this period.
It seems to have power at the bottom end, but not 100%, then it seems to hesitate further up the rev band (ie, revs stop increasing for a couple of seconds) and then puts...
