e240

My E240 auto (1998 model) recently sometimes after starting the car will hold on to the 1st gear and will not change up. I noticed that the rpm is near 5000 at about 20 mph. When I stopped the car and restarted engine, the problem is gone. Is it something serious please advice. MAF sensor...

I've just had a look at a 99 E240 V6 facelifted W210. It drives nicely etc etc but there's a rattle from the exhaust near the engine which sounds to me like a knackered catalytic convertor. If that's the case, what would it cost to replace? I also noticed the LCD temperature readout on the...

I have a 1998 e240 auto 126k on the clock, been having issues with erratic gear changes and loss of power, but not all the time. Usual symptoms is that box wont change until its over 4500rpm and then when it does putting on the gas seems to have little effect. On the flat it just holds at the...

Difficult to describe. On flat ground, reverse is ok. Car moves back normally with creep at low revs. Reversing up a slope, have to rev the engine up to 1500-2000rpm to get it to move at all - almost like a slipping clutch! Anyone any ideas before I go to a specialist? Sound serious, or...

Anyone need a gearbox for a Mercedes e240 W210

There seems to be a noise towards the rear of the car everytime I am coasting. When accelerating, its fine - no problems. But when I am decelerating (Braking or not), there is a knocking/rattling/creeking sound coming from the rear. At first I thought it was a mount on the exhaust, but having...

I noticed the weekend whilst changing the rear brake pads that my O/S/R shock is weeping hydraulic fluid. It looks like its been like this for some time. My question is, how easy is it to replace the shock and should I replace both at the same time. Given they appear to be about £200 each, I'd...
