M104 3.2 engine. 120k, 5-40 Triple QX Fine after a few mins when warm, worse in the cold weather. Anything to worry about?

Not sure this has been covered but strangely the radiator fan in my C63 (W204) now where the weather has turned cold (only in this cold weather) kicks in 1-2 minutes into the drive and then comes off again after 5ish minutes. Seems very good and would be good with some advice / experience on...

Ever since the temperatures dropped (they are about 18*C in my garage so I wouldn't classify them as low) I started noticing the engine takes a few cranks to start. When I take the car out of the garage and the temperature is around 5-10*C, there is white smoke coming out of the exhaust the...

With the cold mornings here, I normally let my car run for 5 to 10 mins in the morning before driving. I've noticed my engine sounds a bit tappety (not sure if this is normal on these cars). Engine oil level is fine and I regularly check it. Any ideas? Thanks

Pulling away from cold in my S211 estate produces a slight grumbling growling noise when shifting from first to second gear. It soon disappears as the engine and transmission warm up, and everything's fine thereafter. Any clues, please, anybody? The car has done 172,000 miles and recently...

Hi all, Weird thing happening to me every time I start my 1992 W463 GWagon lately. Firstly it shudders to a start and needs a good few pushes of the gas pedal to turn the engine. But the weird bit for me is that once the car does start, it revs very low at idle for about 10-15 seconds and...

Is anyone has experience with air filter heat shield, is it works ? I'm thinking to install one.

Hey, When I start my C63 from cold I am hearing a sound kind of similar to a vacuum cleaner coming from the front of the car. It only last around 5 seconds and then shuts off. No change in the car, just wondered what it might be... anyone else getting this?

Hello, My 2010 W204 (S204) C250 has an issue with the Climate Control that I cant find much information about. The AC blows cold and works on the Drivers side but the Passenger side even with the Dial set to Min on the Climate Control blows what I believe to be ambient air. If I turn the...

hi all, i am hoping to shed some light on this noise. It mainly happens on cold start-ups but it's not consistent and can happen at other times also. Lasts for like 20 seconds or so and it then goes away. seems to come from belts area.. (i hope its not the main chain belt so soon) Car has...

Morning all, I have been having issues with my car only when it's cold up until about 50 to 60+ c engine temp. When starting from cold I let it idle for a minute or so then drive away. After about 50 meters the car will jump or surge forward multiple times in each gear. Even when cruising in...

The car feels very sluggish in the morning. I don't think the turbo is kicking in at all. It revs very slowly as well. It does it for less than a minute, then the power kicks in all of the sudden. Only happens in the morning. The car runs without any problems the rest of the day. I went to a...

Help please. My E320 cdi sport 06 runs bad when cold. It sounds like a misfire when under load/ pulling away. As soon as it reaches temp it is as smooth as it should be. There are no errors from the ecu at all. My indie mechanic has tested each injector for electrical supply when cold and warm...

Does anyone know anything about the following My w163 a few months back heating stopped blowing warm air despite a fully warmed engine. Before I had a chance to investigate it began working again until a few days ago. Any ideas why it would work intermittently? Not sure if it's...
