clutch

Hi guys, had our 2004 c180k a few days now and still very pleased with it. Both myself and the mrs have noticed the biting point is very low. It does not slip or anything like that and is still fine to drive/change gear etc. The car has 64k on the clock. I'm not very mechanically minded but...

I've just ordered a new viscous fan coupling for my W124 and need some help on how to fit it. For ref, GSF stock Sachs or Febi Bilstein at 35 +vat and ecp stock OTSA at 52 + vat. Having never heard of OTSA I went with the sachs options. From what I can see it "should" be fairly simple. Loosen...

Whenever I start the car fan engages for about a minute then disangages. I hear the engine roaring loudly till 2000 rpm in the morning with a cold start and if I park the car and stop the engine with running temparature and start it again after sometime. Is this normal???

Hello all, When the engine is cold my clutch is producing a 'lumpy' sensation in the way it transmits power to the wheels. Its more noticeable when im putting a reasonable amount of power down. Its not the engine, as when the clutch is fully dis-engaged its smooth to accelerate, but during the...

Hi everyone, Im one of these rare people who have bought a manual Merc lol. Has anyone had their clutch replaced on a 2003 C180k Coupe ? If anyone has could you give me an idea on price for this as I think the clutch is coming to the end of its life and dont want to be ripped off by an...

The Metal pipe from the clutch master cylinder to the gearbox burst today due to severe corrosion in the exposed section from transmission tunnel. Has anyone else had this problem? The main front to rear fuel pipe is not much better.:mad:

1985 230 TE This car runs at a steady 80C when driving. However, when stationary, the temperature increases and can go up to 120C. I don't think there's anything wrong with the thermostat, radiator, etc. Can it be my fan is turning too slow when the engine is idling? I have counted it at 88...

...how does it work and what's it's purpose in the 722.6 box. Thanks.

Hi Got a text from my brother as follows: Having clutch problems. In a hurry to airport the other morning and jammed the clutch in to change gear and it wouldn't come out again. Had to double declutch to change gear - after a while it came out but was very stiff to use. took a lot of force...

Having a bit of a problem with my W126, 300SE manual. It happened at the start of the year, then seemed to go away on its own, and now it's back! Basically when I am driving and I come to a stop (i.e. I dip the clutch) the engine often cuts out. Sometimes the revs dip down, then come back up to...

Hi, After a gearbox and clutch for W168 A Class 2.1 Evo 2003. It must have a guarantee. Thanks, Ross

That's probably the best word I can think of to describe the feeling I get from the clutch at some point on most trips. Usually when engines hot and after long periods in 6th, but has happened at most other times. A few pumps of the clutch in neutral usually clears it for a bit. its fine when...

Hi. I've got an SLK320 manual (2001) and the other day a broken bracket and a 6" spring dropped into the footwell. I'm told that it's a device to reduce the pressure on the clutch and isn't critical - the clutch will just be a bit heavier. Is this true? I'm inclined to leave it off if I can...

Hi to all. I've recently been experiencing a problem when driving my merc. I'll try to explain as best I can. Whenever I push the accelerator pedal for more power the pedal shakes slightly, enough to notice, and then picks up. It happens on flats as well as on a steep hill, there is no...
