hunting

Hi, I'm on the hunt for a C63 and having looked at a few, I started thinking about the engines since they are made by different people. Has anyone done any analysis as to which of these handbuilt beauties are "good" and which ones should be avoided? I am very tempted to buy one made by...

Hi, I'm new to this so forgive me if I'm doing this wrong! I have a 2001 E320 CDI Auto Avante Guarde which has started 'hunting'. I've taken it for a diagnostic and have been told it's the gearbox ECU but, from what I've read, this fault usually results in the car 'jumping' out of gear or...

Hello everyone, I have a E320 cdi (W211) with an intermittent gear problem. When I'm accelerating in the lower gears I sometimes find that the gearbox will very rapidly change up and down between 2nd and 3rd gear for as long as I keep my foot on the pedal. It's like it's hunting for the...

94 E320 M104 engine, 55k miles. Returned on a hot day from a longish trip, all motorway, but with traffic jams here and there. Temp crept up in the jams, but didn't overheat (new water pump last year), and returned to normal at speed. Engine started hunting when I put the car into the garage...

Afternoon everyone. I finally joined the forum but wasn't sure whether to post in the new member's section or here as I haven't actually bought a car yet! Anyway, for the past few weeks I've been on the lookout for a 6cyl W124 estate, either a 300TE or E280. This will be the main family...

hi i have a c36 hunting ie; reving from 5 to 1 and back rough idle is this the maf do you think

Been trying to solve this problem for over 6 months now. Have changed the MAF, O-rings & diesel pipes. Next up is the throttle position sensor. While ordering the TPS on the website i noticed that there is also something called a Idle Air/power control valve or chang-over valve used in the W210...

Just found my Vito has started hunting. What would cause that?

Could the diesel i buy from different garages cause my var to hunt randomly. Mostly at start / low revs. Or might it be High pressure pump which i had to disconnect to remove the water pump. I *think* it has only happened since this. But many bits were disturbed during this. Any ideas thanks. Danny

I had a problem with the C32 this weekend. Was driving along around 65 and sudden complete loss of power, esp warning "go to dealer" came on, I had been driving normally for 40mins, engine ran but would not rev. Pulled over engine was hunting at idle. turned off removed key re-started...

Hi All, First there was the lack of power then the bad starting so had the MAF replaced and the power came back 4 seals in the diesel pump now starting ok.During all this the hunting started ( i think i'm calling it right idle speed up and down) We thought we had to tell the EMU about the new...

Got stuck in heavy traffic in London's East End last Saturday, my W124 300TE Auto moving at snail's pace for about an hour, resulting in a sudden 'hunting' mode in idle but would clear once driven! Since, it has retained that tendency despite a visual check to ensure that all is ok under the...
