    W202 cold weather starting problems

    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...

    Cold start sudden high rpm (jumped up to 2200)

    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...

    W114 indicators flash too quickly in cold weather

    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.

    very cold this climate control

    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...

    Comand in cold or wet weather ........

    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...

    Slow to warm start and sluggish from cold.

    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...

    A/C cold air only on one side

    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...

    C320 Cdi cold starts

    2006 c320Cdi, runs fine, no issues, but it seems reluctant to start from cold. I wait for the heater plug light to go out, then crank away until it starts to pick up, then more waiting for all 6 cylinders to chime in. It hasn't let me down yet, but either I'm doing something wrong (no...

    Cold start problem 200TE automatic '92.

    Cold start takes 3 to 5 serious attempts, even with '' pump - on '' spurts between attempts. This used to happen on a periodic basis a year ago for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. And then always corrected itself for a good period of 2 to 3 months. Now it is constantly, even in...
