Hi, can anyone help? I have a 1994 W124 200. When braking, there is a buzzing noise happening when it comes almost to a stop. Anyone have any idea what it is and how to fix it?

Hi all i changed the draglink on my 208 clk yesterday and on going for a test drive ihad the orange warning light coming on and at the same time the car was braking on itself and this happened a few times over a two mile drive any one have any ideas on this

Hi there My Benz has developed a noise when braking – when I apply the pedal I hear a brief squeaking noise emanating from somewhere around the back axle/diff. It doesn’t seem to affect braking and the car stops as you would expect, without veering off to a side. The brakes on my SL500 are...

hello guys, i thought id raise this with you. Recently ive been getting a jerky feel to my braking when slowing down (but a smooth refined jerk :confused:)..if that makes sense. Its just began to happen in the last couple of weeks. Could it be my discs are warped causing this jerk, or...

Hi all, My 1989 w124 300d has developed a weird phenomenon of clicking under braking at low speeds. I had the wishbones replaced last year. My first thought was ball joint, but it doesn't make sense. It only happens at low speed, and I can feel it in through the pedal albeit very lightly...

I'm not sure if my car has recently developed this trend or if it has always done it, but when I brake to a stop, the idle drops to 700rpm then returns to 900rpm. It is a M271 1.8 petrol kompressor engine. AFT has recently been changed as have all the filters including the fuel filter.....any...

Hi All, my previous posts regarding my Viano 2.2CDI Auto have not helped to solve the problem with my car so I am trying one more time!! The car vibrates in the engine area when I take my foot of the gas (no braking) and can continue down to about 10mph. The problem comes and goes and seems to...

Had a drive in my Dad's 2003 W211 E240 and I noticed that after I had applied the brakes I could hear a whirring/vibrating noise coming from the engine bay area + I could feel it through the brake pedal. It happens when I have the brakes on, and also when I have taken my foot off. The best...

Hi Guys, I've got a bit of a weird sound when I brake in my W201. When I slow down almost to a stop and apply the brake hard I hear a "whizzing" sound that appears to come from behind the dashboard. It doesn't happen all the time and is only audible when the car has been driven for a little...

Hi, I have a 2001 CLK 230 Kompressor which has done just over 100,000 miles, The car is in generally good condition and passed a full M.O.T in mid July. However, since then it developed an odd fault - whilst driving the traction control light would suddenly start pulsing and the brakes would...

I got a 2003 C200K. Recently sometimes when I brake the engine rpm suddenly lower and the engine shake for about 1 second. Then everything resume normal. Do any one has any idea whats wrong with it?:confused: Many Thanks.

Hey guys, wonder if anyone here can provide some insight into the cause of an unusual whirring noise from the front under heavy braking from speed. This is causing me and my mechanic a good bit of head scratching as we have gone through all the obvious and are now a bit stumped. The noise...

Having learned in, and driven, manuals for many years I, naturally, continued to use my right foot for braking when I moved on to autoboxes. But it occurs to me that there could be advantages in learning to use left foot braking. I'd be interested to know who does what and to hear of any...

i'm braking a late 124 coupe, musroom leather, amg kit but front bumper damaged, it has duck tail pm for details

:eek:I have an issue with serious brake judder when braking from speeds over 50MPH. Normally I do a lot of local journeys and have never noticed this before but I did a long run up the motorway yesterday and the brakes were fine for the first 10 miles or so, but then I could hardly hold on to...

Can anyone help. We are using a friends C class 2009 2.2 diesel with an auto box at the moment, we're used to our old A class manual. When driving the car it suddenly braked like an emergency stop from 50mph when touching the autobox lever and not using teh brakes. Not sure what we did, but has...

There have been discussions before about whether braking operates to reduce speed with CC on. I've certainly been under the impression on on long downhill runs that on the W211 the SBC brakes are used to regulate speed if engine braking is insufficient. Today I found myself at the top of a...

Hi, i have had my c43 just over a month now , and had it serviced the first week i had it, at time of service they replaced a couple of swivel joints, rollbar bushes, 1 damper and an idler bush, i was told at that time that the steering tie bar needed replacing which i have had fitted today, i...

Hello folks, My '85 280SE has a braking issue: sometimes when coming to a halt, there's a resistance in the pedal near the end of it's travel, which then 'gives', causing a little bit of a 'jerk' in the final stop. It only happens at very low speeds, just before coming to a stop. It's...
