cold

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...

New C250. I drove 300 metres from cold, and hit solid traffic, so turned the engine off, but ignition on. The heater got warmer. Is it magic?

Hi all. My 1997 W202 (1.8 petrol) starts and runs perfectly until the outside temperature drops below zero. When the car is left overnight in sub-zero temperatures, it doesn't start (without me heating the engine bay with a hot air gun which is not really a viable long term solution) The...

My 2008 e320 cdi Sport has developed a starting problem. Only ever from cold. It started turning over more than it used to and then once warm is fine. Today however it didn't start after three attempts I left it for an hour, it then started at the second attempt. It has 113,000 miles on clock...

Hey guys, I started my c230k this morning and the rpms shot up to 2200 for about 1 second, and then back to 1200 to warm up and the back to normal idle. Initial start up was louder than usual but there was no shaking, idle hunting or misfire. It wasn't even that cold, only 15 degrees...

Hi, My indictors flash too quick in cold weather. Colder it is, quicker they flash. As the car warms up the indicators gradually slow down to normal speed. All the bulbs work. I wire wooled all 4 bulb holders but no joy. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just bought a 2 year old w204 - thrilled to bits ! Been making my way through the manual and I confess that the dual zone climate control has me puzzled. I have set for 22deg/auto/AC but for easily 10 mins after starting the rather noisy blower is sending (uncomfortable) cold air out. Am I doing...

Hi there I have just bought a E320 Petrol/LPG 1999 Merc and this morning when the engine was cold, the car stalled and this kept happening until it was warmed up. The car then moved but the revs seem to be down and doesn't pull as well as it did, when pulling away from lights etc. It also...

Over the past few months my Comand system will suddenly mute for no apparent reason. This is coupled with a flash of the all the Parktronic lights on the top of the dashboard. If you leave it, the sound comes back after a few seconds or so (maybe 10-15 seconds). If you turn off the system, or...

I am in the process of buying a 2007,320cdi for use in Kyrgyzstan where winter temperatures can be as low as -30degC. I use Mobil1 0w-40w in my current Eclass. The 320CDI I am buying has a DPF,so I need 299.31 or 229.51 & the Mobil1 ESP oil only seems available as 5w-30w. Any ideas if the 5w...

CLK 200 Kompressor, 90000 miles in the past few months I've been experiencing problems on start up. this only happens when I start up a cold engine... no ignition problems but the minute I turn on the engine, it sounds and even feels sluggish.... sounds like its heavy on the exhaust and the...

My W202 C230k starts fine from cold but the idle is slightly jumpy and the car feels a bit hesitant until warm. When I do a warm start it can take a few seconds to start up, but it never fails to start. Could this be the MAF? Also when I fill the car up completely, there is a strong smell of...

Here is the exhaust from cold on a r129. r129 sl60 amg with an eisenmann exhaust - YouTube

2004 W203 C200 cdi When demanding cooling it seems to put out ice cold air only from the passenger side outlets. All the drivers side vents (face, screen and rear seat, cant tell about feet) give out cool air, possibly at ambient temperature. Both sides give hot air when needed. Where to...
