I am hoping that people can assist with a problem that has me scratching my head. I have a 96 c220, it has 17" AMG alloys, but don't think suspension has been altered. Pushing on 156k miles now and for the last 1000 miles a problem with the steering has been getting worse and worse. on...

I had a bit of a mishap a couple of weeks ago and hit the curb at about 25mph in an effort to avoid an accident! My tyre ended up with a large bulge which I have had replaced and I though that was the extent of the damage. More recently when I've put the wheels on full lock (whilst moving...

After about 20 minutes of driving I get a grinding noise from the front off side when the wheel is turned to the right, the noise doesn't appear on left lock or from the front near side at all. The dealer has replaced the power steering dual pump, the off side front strut and completed a...

Hi all I have a confusing problem in my '84 280CE, which is difficult to diagnose, partly because it only occurs under hard acceleration from a standstill or low speed, especially (but not only) around corners. It sounds like metal grinding intermittently, emanating from the driver's...

Searched the forum but cant find anything like my problem. Got a Vito 109CDI. I discovered this grinding noise that I at first thought was the rear handbrake shoes rubbing against the discs. The strange thing is, is that when I stop at a junction the noise continues for about 10-20 seconds...

Have problems with CDC in my W211 that was recently involved in a front end accident severe enough to trigger the drivers airbag. The CDC compartment opens on the button but none of the lights on the changers buttons are illuminated and it is not possible to insert cd's. Strangely, the unit...

The Mrs' W203 Coupe 2006 model brakes seem to grind just as you come to a halt but when checking the pads looking through the gaps in alloys they dont seem to look too bad, any ideas......All welcome....!!:doh:

When cold starting my '03 C180k Automatic I hear a grinding noise for about 4-5 seconds then it goes away.. and this afternoon I noticed a high idle speed - > 1250rpm.. are these related? I fearful something is about to go.. any checks I can do before I bring to MB Rip off? :confused:

My daily driver (Saab 9-3 sportwagon) has a horrible grindy sound when I hit the brakes, especially at slow speed. I've visually inspected the pads, have 8mm-10mm of clear material on the fronts, 5mm - 6mm on the rears. The front discs look nice and clear, the rears, not exactly scored but...

I parked up at a local shop and left the car on full lock to the left. When i re started the car and selected reverse i got a very nasty grating grinding noise and the car seemed to judder a little At first i thought it was from the gearbox but when i leant forward it sounded more like it was...

I just purchased a 2005 CL500. I can feel a slight grinding vibration through the steering wheel from 5-60 mph, irrespective of the road surface I'm travelling on. It's as though the bearings are loose or there's some dirt in the bearings. The bearings have been tightened (but not opened to...

I accquired the above car 10 days ago. The car has done on average only 4k per year and wasn't used much at all in the last 6 months. Yesterday, I had both front tyres replaced and since then I started to notice grinding noise at the front on the driver side, especially at low speed. I brought...

Morning chaps, This is my first proper post here so please excuse any etiquette mishaps! I’ve got a 2001 CLK 230Kompressor Avantgarde with 17” AMG wheels (225/45 17s on the front and 245/40 17s on the back – both sets will need replacing in about 6000 miles) and there are two niggling...
