Hi everyone. I think the fan clutch on my 190E 2.6 has stopped working. In normal driving the temperature is fine, showing roughly 85 degrees on the gauge when fully warm, but the car gets quite hot after sitting in traffic for a while. It's been up to about 115 degrees before now, with no...

`Ello folks, When a clutch wears - or is nearing the end of it`s life - does the `bite` point (the point at which the clutch engages/disengages) move up or down relative to pedal movement? ie: do you have to push the pedal down further to disengage or does it disengage with less pedal travel...

Hi, I bought an used 2011 C220 CDI with 60.000 km, manual trans and noticed since the beggining that the clutch was very stiff and is was a little hard to start in first gear and also when engaging the second gear. The car seems to sob a little, what I think it is not normal, but the main...

Hi all, can anyone give me a bit of advice regarding clutch change. I have spoken to my local garage and they have said that the flywheel is fine because there is no shaking in the clutch pedal. Does anyone know if this is right or should it be replaced when clutch is changed. Does anyone know...

Help needed please. I am driving a clk 270cdi on a 03 plate, yesterday when I took the car out I noticed it was a little difficult to get in gear then when I came to my motorway junction I pressed the clutch pedal and there it stayed. Last November I had a new master cylinder fitted so my...

Hello the c32 feels like its slipping when accelerating a little hard mostly from 2nd to 3rd gear at about 2-2.5k rpm and when dropping back down . It's very jerky and when in manual if I go really slow in second then accelerate it jumps / jerks or slips . Any ideas would be great . Thanks lee

Ok, it's not on a Mercedes, it's an old Audi A3 1.8T, I've taken it in for a new clutch and their saying the flywheel is pretty knackered too, and it's a Dual Mass, on a petrol too!!, the cost of replacing both is as much as the car is worth, and to put it back together as is will cost me the...

Hi all, This is my first post and I need some help! I have a c32 amg, broke down on the motorway(home at midnight!). Low engine coolant light came on, smoke from the engine, the water drained out from the bottom. But there was also a big hole in the engine casing. Anyway, I am told by a...

Does anyone happen to know the cost of a replacement clutch for a 2007 1.4 Ford Fiesta petrol? Looking at OEM and non-OEM prices ideally? Also - is it a big job as I've heard they can be a 6 hour job...

Hi all, I have a problem with my C200K 2001 3DR Sport. Basically, if I start the car in neutral it makes a horrible noise. (The same type of noise, when you accidentally let go of the clutch while changing gear and it gets stuck) If I put it in any gear it keeps making the same noise...

Hi Guys - I have recently bought myself a C220 CDi Coupe six speed manual on a 2002. She seems a bit notchy / grinding on some of the gear changes, especially change from 1st (or 3rd) into 2nd. from 3rd to 4th upwards (and downwards is fine, but the first few gears seem a bit more resistant. The...

I have recently bought a C180 T reg and the clutch pedal is considerably higher up than the brake pedal. This doesn't seem right to me. Previous cars have had the clutch and brake pedals at the same height. Is this normal or not?

Hello, Over the past couple of days, I have noticed the odd sticky gear change, until today when I have to stop the car and switch if off, then start it in gear to change gear. Last thing this evening, if I started it in gear, it was actually partially engaged and moving on the starter...

108cdi knocking noise from engine bay Hi again all. The saga continues. Got the van back after getting the clutch done and it's spot on but now there is at least one if not more horrid knocking noises when moving that were not there before. The garage can't recreate the noise when the van is...
