accelerator

Hello Noticed after driving my car more in the past month than I have in the past 6months the accelerator pedal feels a bit 'lose'. I tend to use cruise almost all the time but notice when using the pedal and holding it at a set speed it feels as though it 'clicks' as it springs back. I...

G'day guys, Just bought my first Mercedes a ML320 2000. Now being new to the marque I have a question about the throttle mount in the cabin. In my ML the throttle "twists" before it pulls straight. Now I assume that the mounting is broken. Is it simple to remove from the cabin, ie unbolt it...

Hi Guys I have a w203 C270 CDI, now I'm not sure about petrol cars but on my diesel when i floor it and hit the click and car kicks down it doesn't seem as quick as when i floor it and leave it before the click. I was doin about *cough100cough* and I put my foot to the floor and hit the...

I found that my ML 270 CDI had a lot of play and slack in the Accelerator and I was loosing at least 20% performance. Cable replaced and power back to normal. :bannana: I checked it and a spring had broken out of the cable to the pedal. If you have any slack then there is a good chance...

How does it work? Over what time span does it calculate the drivers "enthusiasm"?

I need to remove my accelerator pedal to get to the plug behind but I cant find the fixings and it doesnt show on the russian parts website. I removed the plastic pin so the pedal folds flat against the floor then removed the plastic cap covering a 10mm nut below the kickdown switch.Its still...

A bit more advice please from all you helpful chaps. Just bought a rather good E320 cabrio Sportline. To me the accelerator pedal seems a bit like hard work to get wound up. It needs a really good prod to get things moving - much more than various other cars I've driven recently even a Honda...

Went to wedding reception last night. Directions given were pony - so had to do u-turn then floored it back down the A-road. Coming up to roundabout - pedal still stuck fully open :eek: Hazards on, braked - revs cut off I assume as I had foot hard on brake, so took the opportunity to park and...

Hi. I recently bought a CLS 500 - 6 months old with c. 7,000 miles on the clock. I love the car except that I find the accelerator rather unresponsive and a little sticky. Is this typical with this car or is it perhaps a problem with my particular car? Thanks in anticipation of any...

I adjusted the accelerator cable on the 230K, I can say that its transformed the way the car drives, its alot more responsive now and kick downs better:p I recommend it to anyone to check it out:bannana:

Hi all I have just ordered the fancy SS and rubber stud pedals but I am a little confused how to fit the Accelerator pedal. The others just slip on but this one is more complicated and I don't want to break anything down there. Anyone done this that could give me a few pointers? Cheers Jacob

Hi everyone! I need a need accelerator pedal, does anybody know the part number?? Many thanks Peter

Hi, I've just aquired an ML55AMG and noticed that the accelerator pedal is wobbly (moves from side to side). Can anyone suggest how it can be rectified? Can you get detailed "how to" manuals for these cars? Thanks

In the owner's manual of my CLK 55, it mentions a 'pressure point' on the accelerator when talking about kickdown. To me, this implies there is something mechanical going-on when the accelerator pedal is pushed beyond a certain point. However, I would've thought that kickdown would be invoked in...

On the odd rare occassion, i have floored the accelerator from standsill... the car takes off, but once it reaches the redline/rev limiter it doesn't seem to want to change up a gear unless i back off the accelerator. This being my 1st auto, is this how it should be ie normal?

Hi Folks It seems the ECP failure was down to Accelerator pedal sensor and the electric heater booster.. I bought the car from arnorld clark and its the last time i go there. They have been messing me about for weeks now.. The car was in at merc and now mr clark is saying they will order the...

It has only just started to happen but when I come up to a junction and I go into neutral or hold down the clutch the revs stay at about 2500rpm. Very embarresing :o ANyone any ideas what it is? Thanks for any help John

:bannana: Hi guys, Got a lil problem, my C class seems to get a little bit of a sticky pedel when I dip the clutch at times after pulling up at a roundabout, it just seems to kind of stay revving at about 1400rpm rather than the regulat 800rpm ish, what i then need to do is push and release...

Been driving the coupe today and the accelerator pedel is very hard, I tried to rev the car from the throttle body and this is very hard to move. I guees I need to strip it and lubricate it, anyone done the job before? A few points in the right direction is what Im after really. Cheers,
