cold

Hi all hopefully you can help with your wealth of knowledge. I have a problem with my van and the heater. It's only blowing cold and as it's winter I'm freezing my but off. Any ideas how I can rectify the problem. I've changed the thermostat, water pump and have flushed the system and heater...

I've recently bought a cheap winter car and went for an old E300 TD with 226k on the clock, car was running fine but this week it has struggled to start when cold, now usually I'd think glow plugs straight away but it isn't displaying any warning light and when I've been cranking it, it doesn't...

My 2005 cl203 manual cdi has developed a strange vibration/sound when the revs begin to die out. This only happens when the car is cold. It happens when in neutral and when the clutch is down during gear change for the first several minutes of driving. Here is a short video i took earlier. The...

Hello all, Problem RF lock/unlock misbehaving I am reduced to locking/unlocking my car via IR only, for a while now. However, recently as the cold weather has arrived the RF suddenly has started to work again but only if the temperature outside or inside the car remains at or roughly below...

Hi all, Ive recently had my coil pack (Last 3 months) and glow plugs (last 3 weeks) done.... still feels like she struggles to start up on cold mornings... only the first start of the day? Any ideas what to try next? Up to 93000 miles now and Im going to be keeping this for another 100k...

On to my next problem. I probably should go back to the trader but after the gearbox debacle I'd prefer not to, even at my cost. Cold Starting - When the car is cold it cranks longer than normal and reluctantly fires. Starts absolutely fin at all other times. May or may not be related but...

Have had my w203 c220 cdi for 18 months it's done 145'000 runs well gearbox changes as it should but when cold on a light throttle the engine surges the Rev counter fluctuates around 500 rpm, I have noticed this is a common problem as many people have written in stating different fixes to this...

Hi My C220 cdi 2002 coupe is giving me grief starting from cold. Its gradually got worse. I have to use easy start spray to get it to start up in the morning. It just cranks but does not start. I thought this was due to the high pressure fuel pump as I saw a drip of fuel when it was...

Hi all I have noticed that my cold start is not working when first starting the car from cold so occasionally it will stall when you put it into drive. does anyone know of any common fault or reason this fails ?? i am going to get the car booked in to have it sorted but any information...

Hi there I have a 906 Sprinter which will only blow cold air out of the interior. I changed the switch module on the dash(2 dials +note holder) with one from ebay but its just the same, any ideas?

I have a problem driving from a cold start. The vehicle takes a while to change up the gears and just crawls along until the engine gets warm.

hi guys i would like some light into this matter , i changed my fuel filter about 3 weeks ago on my 2003 c270 cdi and ever since i get this cold start tapping for the first 2 miles of driving then nothing , but it onlys seems to have started when i replaced fuel filter please help to...

hey guys, i have a W124 E220 '94 , i'm experiencing cold start issues when the engine is cold (first couple of starts at the morning,or fist start in a certain day), it would start at first crank but thats not the problem, the idle is very low and tends to make the engine stall, first second it...

The engine starts fine with smooth idle. When touching the gas pedal it does not respond. When warmed up everything works fine. Can an open air filter disturb the HFM-system? I needed to make the change due to lack of space for the original in my swap to W114 Coupe. /johannes

Hi, this is my first post on here and hopefully its not going to be one that ends up with me being told the gearbox in my new car is nackered :D Anyway, the car I have just bought (09 C320 CDI) seems to not change gear as smoothy when stone cold as it does once has done a couple of miles. By...

I have checked the aircon lately and its not that cold at all? There is some gas on the system, I checked with a gauge and it is in the green area ( sorry I forgot to mark the pressure) but that might not be enough? When I turn it on and off the engine as a little surge, but I am not sure the...

With this recent spell of hot weather I'm beginning to think that the air con on my W209, 220 CDi CLK is not up to the job:failPlenty of cool air blowing through the vents, however it's not freezing air. Hopefully it's just a matter of a re-gas. The car is is now just over 6 years old, about 38K...

Hi All, I wonder if anyone could offer some advice. I have a CLK 200 Kompressor (1800 engine size, 2002 model) I do apologise, but I have no idea what the W number is that you experts seem to use. If you look at the video link, you can see the rev counter, and hear the engine. At this point...

Hi guys I'm new in forum.Soon i bought A160 (w168) 1.6 gasoline,1999y. (manual gears). After almost an overhaul of the motor, remained a problem which it had previously. When motor is cold cant start. I need to turn over for 20-30 turns before it will start. After hard start motor not...

On first start up in morning i happens at lightish throttle for the first few back roads i go down then its fine after that. Changes into 2nd fine but then its like it changes into 3rd well too early & the car pulls a bit. And the gear change (if it is changing) changes really fast & not a...
