cuts

Hiya, I've got a W169 Benz A Class 1.5 and sometimes my car struggles to start but starts fine second time. It will constantly shake whilst driving ... that odd bump/push here and there. Engine Management light comes and goes and I got error P0068. What could it be? Thanks

hi, my car is very reliable, runs nice too but recently and its only happened a few times. the car will fire up straight away then immediately die.... it will then fire up straight away and keep ticking over no issues. cant help but this sort of issue will get worse so i would rather be one...

The engine (E220 W210) cuts out unexpectedly while driving without any misfiring or any other obvious indications apart from the EPC light coming on as soon as I turn the ignition on and stays on throughout. When the engine stops, it starts again almost straight away. I presume that there is a...

My mercedes was cutting out when the fuel guage reached a quarter tank. When investigated by the breakdown patrol it was noticed one side of the saddle tank had fuel in it and the other side was empty. The local garage replaced the pump behind the driver seat with a non mercedes...

Hi, This has been going on for more than a year now. A hiss followed by crackling occurs for a couple of seconds when the compressor is first switched on. I don’t mean when the compressor continues to run between cycles of low to high displacement. I mean when the evaporator temp drops...

EDIT: car is 2008 S320 CDI, W221 Hi, I filled 15L of Kerosene home heating oil by accident. The handle was black and it was beside the diesel so i thought it was diesel. When I realised what I had done I put in 20L of diesel. Car drove fine. The next day I drove about 15miles no problem...

As above, I've had five outages in the last day or two, momentary but enough to reboot PC, stop clocks and interrupt the central heating. The odd flicker is one thing but five in 24 hours? And I missed a chunk of the ODI on TMS this morning because the alarm didn't go off... I know we had half...

Hi, I have a 96 C200 auto. Today it decided it didnt want to play. It started and immediately cut (as it does if you do not start it quick enough when you unlock it) I have also noticed the alarm no longer bleeps upon unlock/lock and the red LED in the rear view mirror no longer...

Hey guys I just brought my W124 e220 today, drove brilliantly back home and I was very happy!! Just went to start it again after it sitting there in the drive, i must add it's a little cold!! The engine started up for a second then shut down again, I then gave it some throttle and it...

Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith is reported to be proposing limiting child benefit to a maximum of two children for all families. At present all parents with young children are given the benefit worth £20.30 a week for the first child and £13.40 for each subsequent child. For a...

My E320 (V6 petrol) cuts out a second after starting. This is totally out of the blue, its been running perfectly until today. My first though is that it must be an electrical sensor as its obviously getting fuel & spark. Crankshaft sensor perhaps?

My 1991 W124 estate has an annoying problem, I have to fill it with petrol REALLY slowly or the fuel bubbles up and makes the petrol pump cut out. I can only fill at a rate of about 1 litre every 10 seconds, so a 50l fill takes about 8 minutes. BTW, the car came with an invoice for a new fuel...

Hi I have a 2002 CD220 CDI, a couple of weeks ago the car had been standing for a couple of weeks, and on starting it ran for about 10 seconds then stopped. It then struggled to start but did after many attempts, ran after that ok for a few days and the same happened again. Once starting seems...

So I'm cruising on the motorway and all electrics fail, car shuts down instantly. I get out, loosen the battery terminals and wiggle them about. The car starts up again. This has been happening on and off for weeks. So as I was wiggling the terminals one day, I noticed sparking from the...

I have a 2005 Viano Auto Diesel. Driving on Saturday evening and after about 30 mins as I was driving at about 35mph the engine suddenly cut out, I managed to coast it to the side of the road. Tried to restart but it was just cranking over and not firing. After waiting for about 20 mins it...

Hello all, Very new to forums, i have a 1972 280 CE Coupe (W114.072), and it drives very nicely. However, when i come to a stop, or when the car is standing still, it shudders/shakes and cuts out. It is fine when the car is moving or in neutral, however standing still in Drive or reverse...

Yes, we can afford all those fancy idents. But only if we sack the entire proof-reading department.
