cold

My W212 is in for its first service today and I'd reported one issue with it that I wanted looked at: In cold conditions (i.e. <5c) the front window lifts are extremely slow and, if you open either of the windows partially then pull the switch to raise it, the window will sometimes start to lift...

hi there, i'm new to this so thankyou all in advance :) i have got myself a mercedes 230 ce coupe on a k plate (92/93), when the car is warmed up she runs / drives and ticks over like a dream however she does take a bit to start, i have had it suggested that it needs a cold start unit / valve...

Good evening folks. Picked up a 1990 260e last week to use as a weekend runaround and to tinker with and polish! Loving the car so far (it's a very tidy well specced 1 lady owner car with 100k and FSH) but having some trouble with the engine temp. It never runs above 60 deg. Had a search...

Hi All, 25 min drive to work this morning and the engine temp. gauge didn't get above 60 deg??? Stat? or something more sinister? Lambo

Someone said yesterday that it's most likely the O rings on the under bonnet fuel pipes causing issues with starting because their letting air in, I might as well replace the pipes too, does anyone have a diagram or know what parts I need to order as I'm planning on changing them myself as it...

When I go to start it after it has been left overnight it will start straight away then instantly stall, then when I go to restart it will need to crank for a good 10 seconds or so before it will start, after it has got going the first time it's fine for the rest of the day, anyone have any ideas?.

Hi all, I have a 2.2 tdi. W203 sports coupe. Have noticed my fuel economy has got very poor recently, originally I thought it was because my car was coming up for an A Service. But I have now had my car serviced about 500 miles ago and am still getting rubbish mpg. Usually I would...

My W210 E320cdi seems to take ages to warm the cabin on these cold mornings - 15-20 minutes of driving to get it comfortably warm and at least 5-10 minutes to fully clear the screen, even with the heater on full and the fan at full blast. Is this usual or could there be a fault somewhere?

Hi, When I select drive on first start up of the day the engine sometimes stalls (engine note has a heavy diesel knock for a few seconds), if I try to turn the steering at same time as engaging drive it stalls every time, once its run a few minutes its fine and it never does it again that...

My CD220i takes ages to start on a cold morning (if at all). The engine is incredibly noisy too, especially when idling. When it does finally start, it seems to be OK though. No warning lights. About 2 months ago glowplug warning light wouldn't go out. Local garage relaced two heater plugs (but...

Hi. Need some advice.... I have a 1998 C200 W202 which idles erratically between around 500 and 1500 rpm on a cold start. Also the engine seems to 'kick' when driving and occasionally 'pops' which i guess is a backfire. The problem clears after a few minutes once the engine warms up. I have...
