cutting

:(getting a bit upset with my clk 320 now, the last few days it cuts out for no apparent reason. what makes it worse it does it when stationary at lights or junctions, and when driving normal speeds. today on the way to work, wouldnt start so left it half an hour went back and it was fine again...

Remote diagnostics required. Just had a phone call; someone's 1.4 Astra was running fine so engine warmed up and then it runs rough and then cuts out at 1000rpm. Since then trying to restart the engine is no use. It fires but will not settle and still cuts out above 1000 RPM. ANy pointers...

Hello all, I'm back again with yet another issue with my car, they seem to be endless at the moment. Basically the car is cutting out when warm and won't start up again for a few minutes, it then continues to do this making it impossible to go anywhere. Must apologise for the essay but just...

99 W210 prefacelift 5.5 V8 AMG Had this problem in recent month where the engine is surging very random, from 2k rev poodling at 40 or under hard acceleration - the revs just die for 2 seconds then pick up again. Even when doing 70mph you can feel the car surging, but it's all so random...

My 320E has a rather disturbing trick of cutting out under full acceleration. It only happens under full (pedal to the metal) acceleration, and always at about 70 mph. Just cuts out. It will start again instantly once I've coasted to a stop, with no seeming ill effects. Under partial and near...

The air con in my clk has started behaving a bit strange. Every now and then, it seems to just cut out, as in the blower stops. It usually restarts on its own after a brief delay, but when it does it is accompanied by an odd smell, like stale air. This continues for a few seconds, then all is...

Any ideas on this one guys ?!? After 100 miles on the motorway I was driving along an A-road today and after pressing the accelerator the car hesitated and then the revs bounced back again. For the next mile it was continually cutting out and not maintaining a very good idle at all...

First time happened about 3 weeks ago, got in the car, turned the key and it started for about a second then stopped. Turned key off then on again but this resulted in the engine turning over and not starting. Left it doing this for about 6 seconds then switched off and tried again, think it...

Alright, Finally got the 190 going after the 300 24v conversion, its runs lovely, idles fine if a bit high (1000 rpm but smooth). But it keeps stalling when you brake when going downhill and it has stalled a couple of times when dropping from third to second. Restarts on the button (easier...

Hi guys and gals, It started last week - the car would be fine, but i'd get a small indication through the throttle (with no power) that car was about to cut out - 3 seconds later the car cut out. The engine would die and all lights come up on the dash. I would try to turn the car over, it...

i have joined this site for my neighbor who is having some trouble with his ml270 the car is on an 06 plate, when sat at tick over its sweet as a nut but as soon as he accelerates the water pipe at the front of the engine bay sucks flat like it has no pressure in it or like it has a blockage...

Hi, I don't know if there is something similar on the forum. I have searched, but couldn't find anything. Apologies if there is and I'm too dumb to see it! The missus was oop north this afternoon and got onto the motorway to head back to Brum. All of a sudden, the battery light started...

Hello again guys. Having fun with my father in-laws CL420 Had a flat tyre last week, and straight after developed a random/intermittent cutting out problem at idle or overrun/coasting (throttle closed) Took off throttle body for inspection, cleaned butterfly and re-installed correctly...

Got an interesting(???) problem here. I've had a quick look around teh forum and can see some 320 cut out threads but nothing quite the same. Basically on 2 occasions (first on the day I bough the car!) I've had the problem where the car would start briefly 'rev up' to about a 1000rpm, then...

I might have found a set of C43 Sideskirts in a far off land :D To cut down postage costs they have suggested cutting them in half :eek: Although this sounds like the worst thing known to man, surely any bodyshop could patch them together good as new...? Its not like they weigh alot, or...

Ive been looking on mymbonline.com and they have an amazing bunch of cars. But most of their low rides dont come from coilovers or even airbags... its by cutting there springs, now on most cars this is damn pikey! So pikey infact i ripped my mates for doing it. as there cars bounce like hell...

guys, My sister's ML 270 died on her while sitting in traffic, but after about 5mins it started again and all was fine with no warning lights on once she got going again. When she reached home, just before parking up, it died again and as before after 5-10mins it started and idled ok. Any ideas??

Hi - I recently changed the wheels on my CLK W209 Facelift. I believe it is since then that I have had issues with the Cruise Control. It works fine up to around 75MPH but fails to hold the speed if set above this. It almost as if the car is running at a slightly faster speed than the Cruise is...

hi my W124 has the steel sump guard on it. I drain my oil (not a fan of sucking it out), so every time i do this its a hassle getting the sump guard back on. I was thinking about cutting a small hole/cutout in the guard to allow enough space to get a spanner in there to undo the sump...

Just took our one week holiday in Scotland. Up the A1, across the A66. Pulled on to M6 north, and booted it. everything went dead at 75mph on access lane... restarted engine while rolling. Did it a couple more times, then just feathered it to Dumfries. seemed like getting it past 2500rpm was...
