braking

Hi Can anyone give any advice on a braking problem I have with my 2002 E220 CDi auto? Basically, the problem is more noticeable at lower speeds ( 5 - 25mph) and particularly on smooth road surfaces. When braking normally there is a uneveness which results in 'backward - forward' judder...

Hi all Getting a massive vibration through the brake pedal/whole car when I slow down!! The discs appear to be in good condition and the pads look almost new! Happens from any speed.. the vibration in the pedal is literally pushing up foot back up. Doesnt pull left or right.. As it can be...

Sometimes when I brake I get a virbation through the brake pedal accompanied by a buzzing sound. This lasts for a few seconds and then stops. It sometimes carries on for a short time after I've released the pedal. Any ideas??

Hi all, I have noticed that sometimes when I brake I hear a clonk (popular word today) - it sounds almost like something is sliding forward and hitting something. It comes from the front of the car, and usually happens during the first and second time I brake in a journey, after that it doesn't...

hi guys, lately i've been hearing some cluncking noise when i brake when turning out of a parking spot. sometimes it happens when i am braking to a stop and especially when i am going over bumps (not braking) at moderate speeds (basically when not slowing down). any ideas? i really hope it...

Hi, I bought my car about 1.5k miles ago and at point of sale the car had new pads all round, new shoes, new rear discs and new tyres for 3 wheels. :D All was perfect, (aside from a small adjustment for the handbrake done after a month) but now under braking there seems to be a...

Just had a letter today asking me to arrange to bring my vehicle in for a safety check on the above. Interested if anybody else has received a similar request. Check is FOC of course.

If I break hard enough to activiate the ABS, I get a short 'buzz' [about 3 secs] after I stop braking, sounding as if it's coming from the front end. Is this normal?

My car has started to produce a knock from the rear passenger side. It only occurs when braking and only after accelerating. If I move off slowly and brake there is no knocking sound. There is no knocking sound going over potholes. :confused: Has anyone had this problem before? Andrew

Yet another C32 issue ! Under braking on rough surfaces (say on a catseye, braking zone markings etc) the front suspension appears to "knock". It's only evident on rough surfaces, and under braking. Rough with no braking it's fine. The design of the top mounts looks as though it has some...

Hi, this is a bit of a long story so i hope it doesnt bore you guys. It all started when the alignment of my car went way out and the car was going straight when the wheel was off to one side. I got that fixed and the car now goes straight with the wheel straight and doesnt pull to any...

We have a E240 Estate 2004 with 46.000 km on it. When braking (not hard braking, just for slowing when apraoching lights etc) i feel a slight pulsation. Not hard, but it's noticable and the longer the more it irrittes me. The feeling does not come from the pedal, but it feels like the braking...

Hi I bought the car 3 months ago - a 52 plate W211, with 65k on the clock. I needed a diesel car due to mileage (1,000ish a week). I noticed that every now and then there is a "generator" type noise coming from the engine compartment. It makes this noise if the car is parked up and I unlock...

I have a 1995 C280. For these a few months, I lived with indash LAMP check warning light. Finally, I decided to fix it and found that the high mounted stop lamp had gone. So, I bought one from a local third-party part shop and replaced it, and then the warning light was also cleared. I was...

Hi, I do like the auto box in my car, but like most auto drivers, I miss the control of a manual now and then. Thankfull its not that often, certainly not enough to warrant any "go buy a manual" remarks thanks! I'm just wondering if its safe enough to manually drop the auto box down a couple...

Hi Everyone, Started the car this morning after 4 weeks of not using it and when attempting to drive away something creeked on the underside if the car and also a clang sound. The car runs without any problems but when braking, i can feel the vibrations on the pedal. IT feels like it is from...

I had a bit of a moment shall we say on the way home from work today.. Firstly the car is a '96 C36 AMG and only yesterday I put on some 18" monoblock wheels, and pirelli Pzero boots. They are 225/40 on the front and 255/35 on the rears. I was driving in a manner that the car was designed for...

I have a 1989 190E 2.0 manual. Just recently, I've experienced a problem where the brakes lock up intermittently, and I have to stop the car for a while for it to get over the problem. It seems to happen when I'm sitting in traffic, and the brake pedal gets higher and higher. I had the car...
