Just to ask how the proposed cruise into Sussex went today, ??, my apologies to you all who ventured down here, as you were only half a mile from me, but work commitments interfered with my day, and only got the AA to start my car at 4PM, I do hope you all had a good time and a real nice lunch...
My limiter light on the control stalk wont go off since car was cleaned. I hoped that it would "dry out" & start working. I fixed it with black tape over the light.
Unfortunately it seems that "cruise control is not working & its stuck in "limiter" mode.
Anyone got any thoughts on what I...
I've done a few searches and checked the manual, but I can't find a definitive answer to this:
In the last two weeks, i've noticed that the segments in the speedo which light up when you set the cruise control now flash (3 x p/sec) but the system functions normally. The ESP is on and seems to...
Hi
I'm after the proximity sensor which works the
Cruise control & Distronic and sits behind the large badge on the front grill. Part number I believe is : 2035401517
Please PM me if you can help.
Thanks
Got a 5 yo CLK 280. All works well. Have an annoying issue with the CC. When driving and exceeding a preset speed, 120 kph in my case, a short chime sounds to indicate speed limit exceeded. At that point I cannot activate the CC. If want it activated, I have to do it while speed is below 120. So...
I have swapped a M104 from E320 into a W114 Coupe. It was originally a non-ASR car and 5 speed manual.
Now I'm facing some problems with the engine not revving (max 1500rpm i guess) and having high idle. When idling it runs very smooth. Can this symptom be due to a disengaged cruise control? I...
Hi everyone
Have had my Nov 2008 W211 E220 Avantgarde tiptronic for 4 months now, and up to now very happy...
However...
Had about a 60 mile drive yesterday in biblical rain, without any problems, but popped out to the shop about an hour later, and on the way back had the yellow warning...
My cruise control refused to turn on yesterday during a motorway run at 70mph.
Slightly annoying but I pressed on, thinking it might be the switch.
Then an hour or so later I tried it on a 60 limit and it worked fine.
Any ideas?
The car is a 1990 S124 300TE-24 with no ASD/ASR and the 4...
I tried cruise couple times unsuccessfully and decided its too complicated so prolly not bother - noticed it was lit up yesterday when I was drving manually - driving down the mway today and switched it on where on it promptly started to slow down which was very unerving in traffic - same again...
Hi,
Just got another E300TD, the speedo wobble a bit? This is odd...
Also the cruise control do not stay on too long, after awhile it disengage?
Would those 2 be related and hat is the cure?
Its an avangarde model , the seats are bloody too hard too...
Another issue with the in laws new merc, the speed limiter works but the cruise control doesn't.
He has one error message, BAS, brake assist visit workshop.
I have searched and the main response is brake light switch faulty, replace at £10, bargain but would this stop the cruise control...
I drove my 320 CDI on the motorway yesterday. Set the cruise control for 70mph. Cruise control kicked in, but instead of maintaining a constant smooth speed (as it has always done), it sped up and slowed down by approximately 5-6 kph. I could feel the car surging and slowing, confirmed by...
Just bought a CLK320 Convertable for my better half on an X registration. The cruise control was working ok but has started to play up. It works fine when you set it in 30mph zones, but any faster it does not work and a workshop warning pops up, is there any easy fixes or is it just a drop her...
I'm interested in people's experiences with driving with cruise control.
Did turning it on give better fuel economy or not ?
Also, what effect do hills or flat terrain have on fuel economy with cruise on?
i took the car to the Loire this week and loved it (Car & Loire!).. but small thing about the cruise control..
the resume is all a bit "frantic", isn't it?
cruising at about 135kph, dropping down to 115kph, press resume (in "C" mode) and the car drops a couple of cogs and floors it back up...
