cold

Hi there! I had some problems with my 2009 C250 CDI. The DPF was clogged so i went to a tuning company and had it removed. The problem is i`m still getting P0471: Exhaust Pressure Sensor Range/Performance. I used to get it before i removed the DPF as well. I get the fault code only in...

Has anyone had any experience with mapping out cold starts? I've read up a small amount and it seems like the main reason it's there is for emissions - warming up cats etc. which mine doesn't have! I absolutely love the sound of the car but the cold start is absolutely brutal, especially when...

I have a rather odd vibration when the car is cold :dk: Sounds very much like the exhaust is touching the chassis somewhere. I have checked and it is not touching,once the car is up to temperature it's gone :confused: If I knock it into neutral at the lights it is less pronounced,thinking...

I've posted this problem before but just wanted to clarify a couple of things. The first start of the day is always difficult. If I wait for the glow plug lamp to extinguish the car takes 4 full starter sessions to start. Or if I wait about a minute after the lamp goes out it will start ok...

Gents i need some advice please on the possible causes of a noticeable vibration i get when i start the engine from cold and put it into reverse or drive. In park or neutral there is no problem but when in drive or reverse with the foot brake on the car vibrates and the revs die a little as if...

Hi Folks, My wifes Sl350 r230 blows constant cold air from the dash centre vents, Tried all manner of settings etc to no avail, the open close wheels do not make any difference either, this is a real pain in winter as the car takes ages to heat up inside with the additional cold air...

Hi folks After 6mths with a BMW 330ci, a CLK430 convertible popped up that dragged me over to the other side of the fence. The car is bought as a bit of a gentle restoration project, and needs a bit of love in certain places, so I'll probably be popping up with a lot of (inane) questions...

Finally got round to recording the cold start on my W205 with the iPhone. I did the same with my old 507 - that had secondary cats removed at the time - interesting to compare with the W205, which has the AMG Performance exhaust. W205 C63S - sports exhaust ON: W204 C63 507 - no secondary...

SLK in the garage.

Can anyone advise ?, I get a knocking noise as if the tyre is jumping when turning the car usually more so when the car is cold on full or partial lock. Also in this cold weather the car has taken far longer than normal to change thro the gears and seems to be stuck in gear . I noticed that when...

Following on from my previous thread - http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/199602-engine-woes-erratic-idle-stall.html ...I'm having issues on cold starts. I've already had the fuel pump replaced - problem still exists. Right after the video below was taken I checked for error codes - there...

Hi All. I have recently bought a 2005 (55) S211 E320 CDi estate. It struggles to start up first thing in the morning, our previous S210 E320 had no such problems. The heater lamp comes on for about 3-5 seconds then I turn the key and it cranks over for about 20 seconds or more. When it fires it...

Hello everyone, Thanks for reading my thread. I have a 2010 Mercedes C Class CDI Blue efficiency W204 (AUTOMATIC) DIESEL which is maintained up-to requirement from Mercedes, Infact just had a service B done 2 days ago. Its developing a weird problem. When I cold start in the morning, starts...

Dear All I have a CLS 63 on a 14 plate and have had it for a couple of months now. Very much enjoying it but i have to take it back into have a couple of things looked at and one of them is the cold running. I wanted to find out if lumpy cold running is a common issue with the 5.5 Biturbo...

Hey all, Trying to sort out the heat on my GF's 1999 C230 Kompressor. It is the "Classic" trim level so it has the twin temp knobs and the dials for the blower and vents, not the digital climate control system fitted to many of them The passenger side previously worked fine and the heat...

Hi everyone, I am new to this site, so appreciate any help::thumb: C 220 Se CDi Diesel 2003 3door I HAD 'issues' where the car would turn over first time fine, but would not (re)start once 'hot' (ie after 20 mins of driving) until cooled down again, (upto an hour) and then started first...

Hi, Bought a 2001 (W203) C200K estate 2 years ago and very pleased with it. Recently it runs great from cold but seems a bit more hesitant when up to temperature. Had some codes came up from time to time - before and after the problem. Cleaned the MAF sensor with contact cleaner and the...

I'm trying to diagnose a bad idle on my c230k, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Here is what I've discovered so far; Idle is bad when completely cold when warm its not perfectly smooth, but far better than when cold I've cleaned the MAF, and tried running with it...

Ok, AMG anoraks on. A few of us have commented that whilst the M156 exhaust note is louder/fuller than the biturbo, at cold start our M157's seems even louder than the M156 at cold start. Here's why, from: William Vetter Asst. Product Manager - AMG & Black Series Exclusive Vehicles...
