I've been reading up on a problem that seems to affect SLK32 and C32 AMG owners, although I suspect it affects other models too given the automatic gearbox is not unique to these models.
People describe a jerk at 1500rpm when accelerating gently - many confuse it for an abrupt gear change...
Hi, I have had 2 cats replaced on my 2001 E220cdi - both done under warranty as Merc stated that it was a known fault. Bad news though, its (they?) have gone again! Apparently, the ceramic breaks up and blocks the exhaust, which causes lots of black smoke and a loss of aceleration. I have the...
Hi,
Anyone know where i can get my hands on a universal catalytic converter for a '99 slk 200.....
Also any hints, pics or tips on fitting it would be much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Graham, Ireland. :D
Hi All,
Now that I have fitted a 12v socket in the boot of my 210 (still can't believe there wasn't one to start with!!), I can run my 12v cooler, and am very happy again.:)
I want to get a converter so I can run the cooler inside to 'pre-chill' it. No problem so far; £20-odd will get...
I have a new pc with a SATA motherboard etc and was interested in fitting a second HD.
Then on ebay I saw a 'IDE HD to SATA MB converter' for about £10. A small plug in for an IDE HD with a SATA cable to attach to the MB.
Got one and tried it with 2 different IDE HD's, 60 Gb and 17 Gb but...
NSF door 124
Anybody looking for a NSF door great condition i have one, its from a 1994 e 280 124,been in my garage for the last 5 yrs, its missing door card and motor for window regulator,colour is dark mettallic green.
Bought a new board over the weekend for my 4 y/o PC. About time I moved up to hyper threading CPUs and all that.
The swap has gone well, apart from one thing - how the power switch connects to the motherboard. On the case, there is an in line block that feeds the on/off switch, the LED in the...
The cat on my SLK320 went shortly before it was out of (3 year) warranty at 15k miles. It was replaced under guarantee. The guy said there had been a bad batch. Well it's gone again, this time in under 2 years (about 18 months) and 8k miles. Stealer says its £1200 + VAT and it's out of warranty...
Any tips on draining the torque converter on a 722.6 box.
Its a 2001 W210 with no drain bolt on the converter, and yes I've looked and looked.
I drained the pan last year and only got a few litres out. I'd like to do a bit better this year as I've got a whole bunch of expensive MB oil...
no, it's not happened on mine...touch wood! :)
just wondering if there are any outward signs that a cat converter is about to die without strapping it to an emissions tester?
new MOT due soon and these sorts of questions play on your mind :p
Well, the title really says it: When I start of with a cold engine, it is as if the torque converter slips. Most notable when starting from a stand-still and you accelerate a little briskly. Revs flare somewhat, and the effect is like a manual with a slipping clutch.
When warm, there is not a...
Hi there,
A kind of grinding noise/vibration started a few weeks back on my 98' W210. It is most noticeable when it is in gear, engine spinning fast at low road speed - moving off on first gear - wheels not spinningn.
I have taken it to an independent specialist and put in on the diagnostic...
Hi
I found this device that converts the old Nokia car kit (6210/6310) to accept the 6230 phone.

Its about a year to late for me but some may find it useful as it retains the charging facility that a...
I recently bought my SL and I drove the car this morning to ifnd a rattle from under the car, initially thought nothing of it and thought it might just be because its cold.
The engine warmed up and the noise got worse, so I took it into Kwik-fit (the only people open on a sunday). The guy put...
I have a 1993 Sl500 and was wandering if i removed the CAT converter from the exhaust would i fail my MOT. The reason i ask is that the 1990-1991 500sl had an extras 25hp due to it not having a CAT.
If i was to do this on a car which is 1-2 years newer and put the full exhaust from a 1990...
