    C124 E320 Flat Spot???

    Recently my 124 series E320 Coupe has developed an intermittent flat spot in all gears between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. I keep my foot planted, but when in that rev range, the engine feels as though it struggles, and it feels as though there's power/torque loss. Unfortunately, that's the best...

    For those debating a flat bonnet star (W203)

    Well the one I got off E-bay turned out to be a C-Class Coupe star - it fell off somewhere between Derby and Tankersley. Mercedes Derby are fitting a W204 Sport flat bonnet badge - which is a direct replacement. Cheers Brian

    W124 200e Huge Flat spot and small backfires. Help if you can!

    My 1991 200te has developed an intermittent problem which I suspect is a fault in the Fuel Injection system. The tickover is rough and for the first half of the throttle there is no power just a sound reminiscent of a 2nd choke opening too much, but if I floor the throttle it'll clear as the...

    Faulty Oxygen (O2) sensor. Flat spot or holding back on acceleration.

    This forum is not a cry for help (makes a change) but rather to inform and hopefully help others with similar problems. Over the last few months my car has not been driving as well as it should, not a major problem but it did get a little irritating. When casually pulling away or casually...
