hot

As above on hot days the brake pedal goes sticky. Sometimes a light squeel from wheel area can be heard. Is this a sticky caliper or something else? Can the caliper be lubricated? Any pointers appreciated! Car is W210 E300td

Had an intermitant hot start issue for ages and tried all sorts. Seems a common prob on lots of the diesel mb's. Mines a 109 vito. 2 merc mechanics said it would be 95% cas (crank sensor) so replaced that but no better. ALWAYS starts from cold and drives / runs perfect. Stop for fuel and...

Hi Everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me with a persistant hot start problem on my 1988 300E, W124 with the M103 gas engine. I’ve had my car for about 10 years. It has 120,000 Km on it. It is a German model with the adjustable EZL-KAT resistor. The car was built in late 1987. Since I’ve had...

<< that car. Nearside rear wheel area smells of rubber after a short run and parked up. It is not always there, just around every other trip. Tyre and brake disc appear to be cool, nothing touching tyre. Parking brake works just fine, though does seem to not 'always' release on first...

Hi guys I'm baffled, when I check my oil level cold the oil reads way over maximum (actually on the wire dipstick) but when I check it after 5 mins after stopping when hot it's at the minimum I what to make sure it's at the right level can anyone advise correct time to check as if I go by hot...

Hi. My 2005 Vito 111 CDI starts and runs perfectly from cold. However, once warmed up, under acceleration, the van seems to hiccup. start misfiring. Given full throttle, The van surges forward, and it will idle ok, albeit with the occasional misfire. There is no management light on. It has had...

Evening chaps, I was wondering how long glow plugs or heater plugs last you? The ol' w124 seems to eat them for breakfast. Is this just par for the course or is this an indicator of a possible problem? Thanks, George.

First, thanks to all for the years of support this forum has given me without even having to create a post!!! This time a post may be needed!!! I have a problem with my Mercedes Benz. When I drive for period of time, say 30 minutes, any point I have to come to a stop there is a high...

Hi Guys I bought a nice 300e a few weeks back and I love it. A few wee niggles but overall not much :) I was hoping I could get some advice from the experts to help me. The aircon lights sometimes don't work on the buttons and when that happens I only get hot air through the system...

Hi All, In your opinon what is the best non manual Hot Hatch (apart from A45 Amg)?

Bought my first 270ML early last week a 2001 auto great in all ways BUT last Thursday I drove approx 35 miles and stopped at a fuel station to fill up. When I tried to start the car the key turns one click all the warning lights come on but when I turn it further nothing happens engine does not...

Perhaps not hot but lets just say is up to normal temp after a bit of a run. Car a 21 year old diesel car suffer from CPS issues? Car runs absolutely spot on from cold (after a bit of air works its way through the system) either on the move or in say a traffic queue. but will not start again...

Hey all, Trying to sort out the heat on my GF's 1999 C230 Kompressor. It is the "Classic" trim level so it has the twin temp knobs and the dials for the blower and vents, not the digital climate control system fitted to many of them The passenger side previously worked fine and the heat...

Hello, having driven in traffic in the centre of Norwich on Friday, noticed the front wings of my 2000 W220 320 Petrol were very hot. The bonnet was cool as was all other panels, just the front wings, can anyone explain why please? The temp gauge showed normal. Thanks Carl

My sport line estate c220d smells hot after driving, dealer suggested it might be the particulate filter as these get up to 600 degrees c Got to take it in next week to get checked, just wondered if any one else had noticed theirs smelling hot?

Strange experience today, did my normal commute to work - 55 miles of dual carraigeway / A roads / Villages. Got parked up and notice a rubber burning smell, popped the bonnet and there was a lot of hot air coming off the engine. Went back two hours later and it was still very hot. Engine...

I Know there are several reports of many models having seen this fault over the years, where the drivers side blows hot or warm air and doesn't cool down. I have now had two duovalves replaced under warranty, the second as the first was replaced under warranty and now the warranty has expired...
