burning

I've been burning fuel of late, a lot of blue smoking coming out of the tailpipe and heavy smell of diesel in the air. No visible signs of fuel leakage in the engine compartment except for what I'm calling the "overflow line" that comes from a fitting at the front of injector #1 (closest to...

:confused: Hello everyone, just joined today due to having problems on my first ever mercedes! I have a 2003 w211 Mercedes e270cdi Auto elegance in tealite blue with 146000 miles under its belt. Everything was fine until last month when the starter motor failed on me, I had it replaced by...

Hello all, first time post but in desperate need of some help with my car. I have a Mercedes T reg '98 ML320, engine is 2.7. It's been running fine but lately with no warning the steering wheel starts to judder, the engine looses power and there is a burning smell in the car. This can happen...

Hi, all. Maybe someone has been here... My comand 2.0 (w203 - 2003) started shutting down. I removed it, and connected it again. Noticed that at power up, the heatsink fan starts but then reduces the speed. after 15 to 30 seconds of listening to radio, the unit clips (enters thermal...

is it possible? I've a clk 320 cdi with dpf and it happens sometimes... maybe once a month. is it normal? thanks

Hiyas, I have started to get a burning smell entering the cabin when the car is warm. I cant decide if it's rubbery or an oily smell but either way its not good. It usually lasts for no more than a minute and then clears. Car drives as per normal with no dash errors. I have read a bit on the...

Hi everyone, Recently when i start the car from cold or after leaving it off for a while and then starting a strange burning smell comes from the centre vents only. Its not really bad but i do notice it. At the same time fairly hot air comes though the centre vents at the same time but this...

Hi all I had noticed a little odd burning smell on Thursday whilst driving the 4 miles from work but thought it might have been external as there was nothing to show an issue, but when the wifey complains after her drive back from a girls weekend in Centre Parcs (tough life innit!) as she had...

Strange one this. . . . After the CLK 320 1998 had done a 200 mile journey I could detect a smell of warm/hot rubber from the nearside rear tyre. I checked the tyre temp and the inside was warm but not too hot to touch, just like the offside rear tyre. (New tyres all round 300 miles ago)...

Following on from my recent post http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=64357 The car now has what I would describe as a hot water bottle smell when I accelerate, also in the drivers footwell the carperted tunnel that houses the gear stick feels noticible warmer. I am thinking of...

I have been having a lot of problems with traction and wheel spinning trying to get around the snow in the car and notice a buring smell. Is this coming from the clutch, have I damaged it, do I need to get it checked out ?

You worst nightmare :eek: :eek: :eek: '71 Lamborghini Jarama, 1 0f 177 Enough to make anyone cry

The left rear wheel of my 1997 C200 has been emitting brake lining burning smell for the past several months especially after a long drive. I have not forgotten to release the parking brake because there will be warning beeps if the brake is not released. The brake was also not over used due...

Might be of interest to someone wanting a car to run for nothing. Stick a couple of new wings on (or clean them up) and if you can live with the faults............ A virtually free car to run til August. Considered it myself but couldn't be bothered with the trip to collect it...

I've just driven through Spain and back after getting there on the P&O floating prison from portsmouth, must have done well over 2000km without any problems. However, I got back early evening yesterday and poped out locally later that evening, and my low oil light came on! :eek: I pulled over...

I've finally entered the 21st century and replaced my ageing CD burner with a Dual Layer DVD writer. Can anyone recommend a decent CD/DVD writing application for Win2k? Is NERO still the be-all and end-all? cheers in advance

Hi, Just brought a 1984 W123 without an MOT. Aim to take her to Central Asia around Easter time, about 4,000 miles, for charity. Loads of things to fix, heres the first: Failed pre-MOT on emissions, burning oil, kicks / spits oil out the back when reving. Also loads of oil around the...
