cranking

Hi My e300TD has been getting more difficult to start with the cold weather arriving. Today, with a good charged battery, it is cranking really slowly. Now if its difficult to start normally it has no hope at this speed. I was about to do the delivery valve seals, all fuel pipes already...

Hello and welcome. It's my first post and not good one unfortunately. I have a problem with my 2004 vito 115cdi. When I put key in ignition I can hear steering lock operate, all lights come on on the cluster bit there is no crank. I have checked battery and it has 12.65V. When I short...

hi i have a c220 cdi 2007, recently it will not start when cold , on turning the key the glow light dosn't come on and the cooling fan runs at full speed, and it will not crank the engine, if i leave it like this for a while on turning the key on and off a few times the glow light comes on and...

Hope one of you gents can shed light on this problem. I am trying to test a 220 engine from a 1964 220SE w111. I'm using the electrics from another old Merc to supply the spark. So, I've basically wired up the starter and coil from the other car. I find that I can see a spark on the plugs when...

Hi had this a couple of times now (94 SL 320 R129) Turn on ignition all lights ok, go to start but no cranking. (lights etc do not dim) Lock car leave for a few seconds unlock car starts fine. I have heard the K38 relay can play up, but while I'm at it any other suspects? I wouldn't...

...to start the car in the morning, especially if it faces up the drive rather than down. The plastic pipes and seals were replaced about 15000 miles ago. Glow plug warning comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes out as you'd expect. Any suggestions as to likely causes?

Hi, I have a 2005 c320cdi v6 with about 130k on it. Couple days ago I was reversing and not paying a lot of attention just watching the parking sensors in the roof when "crunch" I bumped the wall with the tow bar. The lights never lit up, no damage to the tow bar lucky as was v slow creeping...

Hello, I have been reading over the forums on similar issues, but can't seem to find a solution for my problem. The problem: Car seems to have full electrical power but won't crank. I drove it just fine about 10 minutes before this issue and it started and ran fine. Some relevent...

This is getting worse as both the weather warms up and the engine is working harder. Starting when warm requires excessive cranking 5-7 seconds. I'm expecting this to be air, - it's just seen a mechanic so I would hope injectors would have been spotted. I'm aware that this clip on the...

it was only doing it in winter at first what happens is unlock car go in turn key and nothing battery is fine reading 12.7V (also had a booster pack to be sure) no cranking but you leave it for a few secs and turn key again and it will start but now it is not no go, its been sat for few days now...

Our MY 2000 E320CDI has just decided it will crank but not start - first time it has happened in six years. Have called out Green Flag to see if they can fix it but has anyone had similar problems or can suggest a cause? Thanks Sean

My W168 (A160) suffers from slow cranking speed on first start-up from cold, after this cranking speed is no problem. The battery is a one year old genuine MB 62 Ah (correct for the car), recharged using a Ctek charger 5 days ago. Car has been used once since. Using my trusty multi-meter...

Hi people I am in a bit of a bother here 1) car is cranking but not starting 2) electric windows and indicators randomly not working. I tried searching the forum but not sure on where to get started. 1) engine is cranking but not starting this happened for the 1st time on Friday night...

Apologies for posting when I need something but could really do with some help. My dads W220 S500 had an airmatic failure at the front, both sides were to the floor. After reading around online the first thing we tried was to replace the airmatic relay(upgrading the Seimans to Hella). That...

hi all im noticeing when i turn the igition key to crank the engine , its only cranking in short periods ,which can take 6,7times before the starter will crank longer for the engine to start up , little hard to explain , but imagine cranking a engine ,but with mine im limited to a cranking...

The car is not cranking... I cannot hear the fuel pump engaging... And the fan is running full speed... Before coming to a Star diagnostic can someone tell me what to check..?

After replacing the fuel pump relay,crank sensor,ignition control module,spark plugs & leads I only get one strong spark when cranking then nothing from plugs. checked the idle control valve that's working okay, I'm stumped as to where to go from here. Any idea's guys?
