cold

I took my clk 320 conv for an aircon regas at Merit tyres. 45 mins later the man stated that they had refilled the gas but it had made no difference so did not charge me. I am aware that the pulley belts and the pulley itself have recently been replaced. Anyone with an idea what may be amiss...

I have a C55 with Xenon lights. Most of the time they work just fine but I've found when the weather is cold they will flicker slightly and then you'll get these intense flashes when I assume they go out momentarily and then start back up again. I thought it was just the right side doing it the...

I have posted about this before but the problem has returned. I have a cold to warm rough idle problem that disappears once the engine is hot. The rough idling feels like it's only running on 4 or 5 pots. Once above 1000 rpm it's smooth running on all 6 and pulls as well as a 300 non turbo will...

Hi all, Hoping someone might have some advice on a cold starting problem. I bought a 2001 C220 CDI coupe (automatic) a couple of weeks ago and after the first week it developed starting problems. I had already used the car without problems for several days, then one morning I started the...

Recently acquired a 1989 300ce - And even though ultimately it's to be a weekend car, or something to just tinker with when work, wife and kids allow - I am initially using it every day, to try and get a feel for it and because i have just sold my daily driver and have not yet found a...

Recently bought an 06 w221, i have noticed mostly when the engine is cold a very descrete whistling noice that goes up and down with the change in revs,, Disapeares when the engine is hot Anyone ideas ?

Hello guys, I have come to a "conclusion" to that problem. My old W124, now a very good friend of mine has it, will not start in cold weather. As mentioned to an old post on here thought it was the HT leads or Distributor cap... etc? A reminder of the problem is that it will turn but not fire...

Am i correct in saying that the engine will hold on to gears to warm up the oil in the gearbox and engine quicker in the colder weather?? As this morning traveling round the m25 i was doing 55mph and was nearly doing 2000rpm (5th gear) temp gauge was up to around the 70 degree Celsius mark so...

Hi, Can anyone shed some light on a problem I have with my car, it starts fine in the cold weather but for the first half mile to a mile it has poor throttle response (it's as if the 'choke' isn't being applied), is there a separate temperature sensor for the cold start or are there any other...

I have a problem when starting my car in the morning when the engine is cold was told that it may have something to do with glow plug relay and glow plugs how can i check firstly if it is the relay at fault if not then how do i test glow plugs is there any diy way to test these ?

I own a 2009 c200k which has a clicking noise for about 30secs on a cold start. Usually more audible when the car has been stood overnight and the weather is preety cold. Is this normal for the m271 engine? If the weather is warm then clicking lasts few seconds and once the car is warm its...

Hello! Its been a while since I dropped by these parts but the hiatus is over, I still have the SLK but that's about all, no money, no hair, no job, (who cares? - not me), besides my Merc I have a dog and a cat and a couple of Les Pauls, what else do I need???

Bit of a weird problem, E-320 Cdi Sport Estate, 2006, 135k miles Power steering really heavy when cold. Fine when all warmed=up, in fact only takes a few minutes to seem "normal" Definitely temperature related, as steering goes heavy again if motoring out on dual carriageway, etc. Not...

Hi guys, I am having a little problem with my motor, It starts ok hot or cold and is running spot on but from cold on first start it will not run unless i hold it on the throttle for 2-3 minutes, if then I ease off the throttle it will tick over fine and be ok the rest of the time untill engine...

had my 2003 W163 ML for about a month and has recently become really temperamental when starting from cold sometimes it will fire and die immediately then needs about 30 seconds of constant churning or strangely it will start immediately if i park it facing forward down a slope. I am new to...

The Vito has started dragging gears when cold, like a late change down when slowing to the lights etc, you get that drag not quite right change, then the odd change up. Fine when hot. Just done 50k.

Hi there, I'm new here, so I hope ya don't mind me asking a question. Have a 93 300SL-24 here, Seems to start ok from cold, but it doesn't want to then idle and normally cuts right out unless you hold it with the throttle. Car idles and runs ok once it gets up to temp tho. Becoming...

This has happened four times now in the last 2 months during this cold weather. When I say during cold weather, it has only happened when the car is covered in frost and the temperature has been below zero overnight... I come out in the morning and go to put my bag on the back seat but the door...

Hi, I'm experiencing cold starting woes having recently brought this car back off a SORN. The car is a 200E Auto with M102.963 engine, KE/EZL management, 1992 vintage. By the thermostat housing I have three temperature sensors; i) with a single green wire that goes to the dashboard, ii)...

Some snaps before the snow set in a few weeks ago. Excuse the Brookland auctions chap taking pics. Silver one heading off there next month to make room for the 993 I have just purchased. The Designo Edition needs to come off sorn next month and being prepared for some top down driving this...
