accelerator

as the heading says when i take my foot of the accelerator at 30/40mph there is a loud single knock, sounds like its from the rear of the car. :confused:

I just took out the front carpets, to clean and dry them and noticed that the accelerator pedal isn't fixed to anything at the hinged (floor) end. The pedal has a smallish "U" shaped metal piece attached at the end and it looks as if this should be attached to the floor but it isn't...

Hi all, We've just accquired our first ever Mercedes - a 1994 E320 estate and are extremely pleased with it apart from an annoying niggle with the accelerator pedal and the bulb warning light. Discussing the pedal here - it requires a LOT of pressure to move off and a fair amount to keep...

My '94 E320 might have a sticky pedal. When stationary, it's very difficult to hold the revs at between 1,000 and 2,000, as it's as if the pedal can be either 'on' or 'off'. When driving, this means I tend to leap away from traffic lights, and look like a bit of a berk. I wondered if this...

I have bought the wrong accelerator pedal for my S320 :confused: !! This one is for SLK/SL500/SL320/SL280. Part number A 170 300 00 04 New and shiny AMG genuine pedal ,and still in package with MB label etc. any reasonable offer! :eek: :eek:

Best way I can describe it! When going round roundabouts,pulling away from a standing start, or even crawling in a queue, the car sort of pauses then lurches forward. It's as if there is a dead spot on the throttle. It is most notable on roundabouts and damn irritating. Annoying part is...

Our S reg A class Elegance 1.8 semi automatic has lost power totally a few times in standing water (not flood) road conditions, so that the accelerator simply stops driving the car. This has previously happened when the car was moving off eg from a queue at a roundabout, and was merely...

I'm starting to get a problem with my W202 where the gas pedal gets stuck. More specifically, upon raising the pedal (coming off the gas), it comes almost all the way up and then gets stuck somehow, only to pop back the rest of the way about half a second later. It's only about a millimeter and...

I've noticed that my accelerator response is better with cruise control on. :confused: ie the car really responds quickly and urgently with cc on but with just my foot and the accelerator it can be fairly sluggish up hills. This is on a C220 diesel 1996. Has anyone experienced anything similar...

Hi folks, I got the car (1999 C280 V6) 1 week ago and find the accelerator "od". :confused: When pulling away from stationary it is difficult to find the point at which you will start to move. Any other automatic car I have had has started to move as soon as you depress the pedal, the...

I have a 1997 S500. I have a small problem with the car. When i'm at speeds above 35mph and i let go of the accelerator the revs drop down slightly (just as they should) but after 6-7 secs the revs jump up 200 revs without prodding the accelerator. The problem happens despite what gear the car...

My w208 suffers from a slightly sticky accelerator. While not a major problem, it effects the feel of the pedal and is particularly agrivating in traffic. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution? MB has done the same thing everytime I have brought this up. Greased the linkage...
