hot

I recently noticed a very faint hot metal smell at speed, say over 90mph - on private roads, naturally ... :crazy: Is it ball bearings? - I had OSF replaced a few month ago. I also think it is when the S mode is selected, although I haven't driven in C mode for a while, other than in town...

Folks My Becker Radio gets very hot when on. I do mean very hot. I have the radio out of the dash just now as I was attempting to diagnose a speaker fault (now fixed). I noticed that the metal on the radio itself is really hot almost too hot to hold. Is that normal? What could be the...

A chap who works for me was telling me yesterday he has a mysterious starting problem on his '02 E320 diesel which I thought I'd post on here to see if anybody has any ideas. When cold it starts first time, every time, but in warmer weather, like now, it still starts ok when cold but as soon...

Predictably my recently purchased 1995 e320 has thrown a minor wobbly It gets quite warm, I.e around 100 on the gauge when driving fairly normally, I would have thought it should stay closer to the just above 80 that my others do. When hot it will misfire on one or two cylinders and as...

Posted in 'Interior' section too - can't work out best place to put it! :crazy: I've got a proper head scratcher on the ML. My cabin is hot which is not ideal in the searing Newcastle heat! Story so far; 1. Blend valve was stuck in hot - took it apart and had a broken cog. New part...

Firstly, newbie and first post in the MBClub website. Thanks for letting me in! :thumb: Got an old CLK 320 (W209) and an even older ML270 (W163) - Discovered Mercs 3 years ago and I can't see me ever buying anything else. That CLK is such a nice cabin to be in. I'm a big tweaker and rarely...

Can anyone shed some light on this Thanks https://mbworld.org/forums/cl55-amg-cl65-amg-cl63-amg-w215-w216/648727-shake-slightly-rough-idle-cl63-m156-2008-uk.html#post7121832

Hi, Does anyone own one of these popular battery chargers (CTEK MXS 5.0)? I recently purchased one and used it today, but after about 3 hours of having it on charge I went to check it and when I touched the unit it was VERY hot. It was soo hot that I decided to switch it off rather than run it...

Hi, I have a 2008 CLS 500 (5.5 M273 engine), a while back I had a hot oil smell every time I drove it, turns out it was the cam blanking plug on the right hand bank, changed that and the strong oil smell went away. Apart from occasionally I get a similar smell, but not as strong when its been...

Having been away with work for three weeks, my better half promised but 'forgot' to give my 126 a weekly run. No harm done I thought as she purred into life at the first turn of the key and I wafted along a dual carriageway at a regal 50 mph to pick up a few treats from Halfords. Once back in...

Looking to sell the registration Y111 HOT - £799 Plate is currently on retention so is ready to be transferred. Drop me a PM if you're interested.

I've just serviced my 210 (first time doing it). I was just curious what's more accurate checking engine oil level cold or hot?

Hello I'm looking for some advice on my Mercedes E220 W211 CDI (2005) Estate regarding the starting. Over the past 2 months the starting has taken longer to crank over before the engine will fire up but this is only when the engine is warm/hot. Starting from cold is fine. I have checked the...

Hello all I have a 2002 W210 E320 CDI. I found that while the fan is off myself & the wife felt heat coming from the front. We couldn't feel the hot air from the vents but we just felt hot and yesterday wan't particularly hot. Secondly the air con isn't working. Now I haven't checked if the...

Not sure if this is the right section.. Yesterday evening after a 5-8mile drive, I realised the carpet on the base of rear seats (not the floor) was warm, which I thought was a bit strange. After I got home I removed the rear seat base and the metal part of the body was pretty warm/hot...

Oh dear, I do hope the car doesn't belong to someone on here..... Dramatic moment Mercedes supercar bursts into flames ? just before handover to new owner - Huddersfield Examiner

Right guys I'm after some help. When I purchased my 2006/7 CLS cdi it needed a service, to cut a long story short it had one at my expense as the supplying Vauxhall dealer refused. Anyway, once serviced a few faults were found and rectified by the dealer once they agreed they were current...

I have an 1995 E220 with the M111 engine, and it has developed a pronounced ticking/tapping noise. It started last autumn and I assumed it was one of the tappets - it is directly linked to engine rpm and seems to be coming from the top of the engine, near the back. I had the headgasket done over...

I have a 2004 , 270 CLK CDI, I only bought it a this week and I have noticed that the engine, bonnet and wings are extremely hot after a journey. The odd thing is that the temperature gauge doesnt go higher than mid point. The bonnet gets that hot it cant be touched. Has anyone any ideas...
