cutting

Apologies if this is the wrong thread, I'm a complete newbie both with MB and with this forum. Hello all! Just bought a beautiful 1998 SL280 with 66k on the clock, having had an inspection done and a service as well as a few items fixed by a local indie in Derby where we bought the car. Had a...

My 300SL has just been recovered, after dying on me the car runs fine for about a mile then engine dies you leave it a while then it runs for a min then goes again , when it does go there is no spark from plug but there is from the coil on the HT lead . Which I would think would be the rotor...

Hi Folks Had this problem for a while now... thought it was maybe the air filter but after carrying out a service A and changing all the filters its still doing it from time to time ... foot down on the gas and there is a few seconds of nothing just flat and then it kicks in again its like...

Gents, I have a E300 turbodeisel (R reg, 1998) and it has a strange fault. As the fuel gauge gets down to about a quarter full the car has a tendancy to suddenly cut out for no apparent reason. After about two minutes it starts O.K. but will cut out again unless the fuel level is raised...

Hi I have a 1996 Benz E220 Coupe (100000 miles) with hopefully not to serious a problem, any help would be much appreciated Sometimes the car will idle rough at lights, in traffic and then cut out. It usually revs between 5 - 10 but before its stalls it revs up to between 20 - 30 and then cuts...

I have just changed the battery on my 1996 c230k manual. The old battery was lazzy,on its way out. Took the good one from my 84 280se. Now the car keeps stalling all of the time! If I just start her up she will tick over at about 750, rev her up and on the down revs she drops to about 100 and...

I think this dates back to about 2 months ago when I had to do an emergency stop. I was only doing about 10 mph when I got distracted for a second and looked up to see the car in front had decided to turn right instead of going straight ahead (no indicator of course) Stamped on the brake and...

Hello all, I have a problem with my 99 C200 petrol ,it is starting to cut out the odd time at traffic lights when it is in drive and at idle . When you try for a restart it can take a couple of tries to get it started /ie turn over off turn over off and so on , I have replaced the MAF about 8...

Hi Folks, See ollieplimsoles post entitled 'What have I done or not done' for the background on this. :) Car cut out to day. Lifted bonnet and twiddled the relays in my fusebox again - result - no problem car starts - away I go. Car is still going but this may become a habit I fear...

I was stuck in traffic for half an hour this evening (going to get it a new battery) and when I finally got back to 30mph I noticed I had a misfire, not unlike a petrol engine that had fouled its plugs. I drove about a mile and the roughness suddenly got much worse and then the APC light came on...

Hi all I've had a problem over the last couple of weeks whereby my C Class cuts out on starting. I have to turn the key to it's furtherest position and hold it there whilst revving for a couple of minutes, otherwise it cuts out. It's almost as if the engine has to be very warm before it'll...

Hi I am new to this forum and Mercedes ownership. I bought a new A150 four weeks ago from a main dealer for my wife. In the first week of ownership she thought she had ‘stalled’ it twice but put this down to it being a new car (she had a 2003 Polo previously). During the second week the car was...

Any advice would be welcome. Keeps cutting out on m/ways and when at junctions. Problem intermitent - sometimes runs fine.:(

My friend has a 1983 Mercedes 280CE that I've been driving and I'm probably going to buy but it has a cutting out problem. After the car's been running for about 10 mins it cuts out whenever you slow down, whether slowing to a stop or just slowing. Various people have speculated that it could be...

I have a E300td that I am about to look at for a friend of my father. He says it cuts out while on the motorway at slow speeds at anytime and any temp. I think its fuel related but maybe someone with more experience with these can shed some light on it. Thanks in advance PS I am poping...

Not a great day today My SEC has been 100% reliable since buying it over a year ago but today it decided to keep cutting out whilst driving. Theres no warning but I will be just driving along and all of a sudden the engine stops! It starts first time every time and wil drive for maybe...
