clutch

Hi guys. My clutch feels as though it may be on its way out. I asked a mechanic who i know and he said the clutch is in three parts and costs about £240. He said the problem is, when changing the clutch i may have to have the flywheel changed as well and can cost up to £1000 for it!!!!!! Is...

Hi Everyone I have a vibration when driving over 90km/h on my Merc W202 C180 after replacing the cluch and flywheel. It makes this drowning noise if I go over 90-110km/h and if I drive faster it really starts to vibrate the whole car. I also had my wheel balancing checked as it fine.Front...

My car needs a new clutch, a garage quoeted £380 for parts(clutch+bearings) and labour. Is this a very reasonable price? The car revs are high in the gears but less power.

I was trying to connect the power to one on my heated washer jets the other day and must have shorted it out because number 10 fuse blew. This protects the fan clutch, washer nozzles, rev counter, heated mirrors and the outside temp gauge. I replaced the fuse today which got everything...

I'm new to this so please pardon any blunders here! Please could somebody tell me with 100% certainty that the gearbox, propshaft and clutch of a 1988 230TE are exactly the same and therefore transferrable to a 1990 200TE. They are both estates. Here's why: Since I bought her for £500 two...

Hi All, I wonder if anyone has a wiring diagram for the fan clutch circuit on a 1991 W201 190E 2.0 (M102.962 engine and no aircon)- according to the Haynes manual & MB workshop discs the magnetic fan clutch is wired with a permanent 12v supply, and the earth is switched by the 100 degree...

Hi All, I've got a 1991 W201 190E 2.0 Auto, and the magnetic clutch on the radiator cooling fan is engaged all the time, as soon as you turn the key you here a click as it engages....even if you pull the plug off the temperature switch it still remains engaged, the only way to stop it is to...

Not strictly a MB car question... saw a used diesel Honda FR-V, looking round it, i noticed that the clutch fluid reservoir was more to the min level than max - is this something to worry about? could this indicate issues with the clutch?

I got the above error code with my R170 with WIS. Will changing the sensor at the clutch fixed the problem?:doh:

HI all Ive got a 2003 C200K coupe with only 54k miles on it I've been having difficulty in selecting 1st and 2nd gears - especially 1st when from a standing start, so I've dropped it off to my local indie to have a look Aparently the solution is that I need a new clutch after only 54K -...

I just fitted a tunit box to my CLK 270 cdi, and wow what a huge power increase, it really makes me smile everytime i boot it. However i was wondering is there a risk to my clutch, does anyone know what figures the clutch can handle? Sometimes there is a weird smell after i boot the car, but...

Hi any thoughts on the following would be welcome. Purchased a A150 manual in July last year car was just under 3 years old and had covered 21k miles. In december it was noted that the clutch was starting to be dificult and soon it was impossible to select gears on initial start up etc. Will now...

Hi If anyone out there can help with this it would be very much appreciated. My wifes A Class has developed a fault on the semi automatic clutch system. When you start driving it after a while "F" appears on the gear selection panel and you can not find any other gear. If you turn the engine...

I have a 1996 (P) E300 estate (W124) the clutch slips on occasion when changing from 2-3rd and 3-4th. Causes?

Hi, Quote from link below: "The new Mercedes dual-clutch gearbox is expected to feature eight speeds as well as engine stop-start and hybrid compatibility." http://www.motorauthority.com/mercedes-likely-to-build-dual-clutch-transmissions-in-house.html I like the stop/start bit but...

Hi all The barge is having a hot spell and I fear the mechanical fan isn't working. It's a magnetic clutch and I wondered if the test for it is still the same? Rolled up newspaper, if it stops the fan when the auxillary fans are on then it's kaput? Dave!

I have a c220 cdi W203 (2002). It is time for me to once again change the brake fluid (last done 2 years and 60000 miles ago). I have recently realised that the clutch is hydraulic (I never guessed, thinking that as there is only one reservoir that the clutch must be cable operated). I...

Unusually, my W124CE has a manual transmission. Recently my clutch pedal has been feeling very odd and in the last few days it was almost not disengaging at all. So today I went about changing the clutch master cylinder which is situated up near the pedals held tightly up against the...

Hi I am in the process of replacing the water pump on my W123 1986 230E I have been able to remove the old water pump but the electromagnetic fan on the old one will just not budge. Any ideas or suggestions tips or tricks for how I can get this off?

I have a 1990 560SEC, with - original - R12 aircon system. It has the rotary dial controls, not the pushbutton ones. Until recently the aircon worked fine, but the car has been garaged over the winter. I've just started running it again, and the aircon doesn't work. The compressor clutch...
