Hi there, My 62 reg W204 (48500 miles) is making a hissing / blowing air noise when I accelerate. I noticed it yesterday when I had the windows down. It's definitely coming from the engine and gets louder upon the speed increasing. The noise is not present when I took my foot off the...

Hi Everyone, I have a 2009 C207 E350 Cdi. Just a quick question, When I rev the engine the car revs normally but once I take my foot off the accelerator I get a 'sssssssssss' sound as the revs drop off. It almost sounds like a dump valve but is more of a hiss than a 'pssst'. Is this...

Hi there, I have a clk 2003 and there is an air hissing noise near the pedal area occasionally when driving. When I press down the brake pedal the noise stops. Anyone have any idea what this is? Cheers

With no prior warning, at the end of a 400 mile journey my E280 CDI was hissing loudly from the rear and smelling of cabbages. The hissing (and smell) persisted for some minutes after switching the engine off. Is this the catalytic converter? Or something else? Thanks for any thoughts.

My car is giving a harsh and firm ride. Took it to Waynes Gates and he can't find any problems but did advise on changing all four tyres and they're finished. Tyres are on order so will have to wait a few days and see if that resolves the problem. One thing I have noticed, when I park the car...

When I switch the car off & get out, I can hear a hissing noise coming from behind the passenger side front wheel. It sounds like air leaking from a tyre but it isn't the tyre & it stops after a while. Nothing seems to be wrong. Is this normal or is something going wrong??

With the help of this forum I am learning a bit more about my W210:thumb: Is it normal to have a hissing sound come from the 2 vacuum pipes that go into what I believe is the egr vacuum control valve? The noise lasts about 10 seconds after switching engine off. I've not experienced this on...

As above, noticed the air con making a hissing noise over the past month and it gradually seems to be getting louder. Seems to be coming from centre vents (above the radio) and goes immediately when you switch the fan off / goes gradually when you leave the fan running but switch off A/C. Read...

Hi New to the forum so please bare with me :cool: So, I think I've identified the strange inconsistent hissing noise coming from, what I believe was, somewhere behind the dashboard for the last month or so. After ruling out speakers and such the noise finally gave up and stopped last Tuesday...

Noticed recently, that after turning the engine off, there is a hissing noise from somewhere under the bonnet that lasts for about 15 seconds, then dies away over 3-4 seconds. Sometimes think I can hear it randomly inside the car when driving, again last for maybe 20 seconds then fades. No other...

as the title says, was trying to overtake the other day and the car sounded asthmatic and had a serious power deficit and started to smoke a bit. now it smokes under any kind of acceleration or load and its generally weak. the turbo spool is now very audible. consumption gone up a bit, the...

My air vents are hissing. It sounds as if there is an air leak. I have noticed that it doesn't seem to get very cold either even on the coldest setting. Any ideas what it could be. This is not solved tapatalk will not allow me to post a new topic without putting it there

I just wanted to check whether it is normal to hear a short hissing noise - as though air is being released from somewhere? It happens every time I turn off the ignition and lasts only a couple of seconds. I don't have the airmatic suspension but was wondering whether it has something to do with...
