idle

Hi, I have noticed recently that my 75k mile 2005 W220 S320 CDi sometimes idles roughly when stationary in traffic etc, nothing major but I can feel it 'missing' occasionally. I drove it home today, left it running for a couple of minutes and I'm sure I heard a noise (possibly a click) from...

After a long search, I found this article (http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/96013-three-years-rough-idle-sl320-r129-v6-m112.html) which describes the symptoms of my car: - vibrating at idle when engine is warm - fuel smell in exhaust - some loss of power at low refs (not sure of this...

Hello all! I recently got a 2004 c270 cdi w203 (facelift) for a good price knowing that it needed some work doing to it. I love the car by the way, far more refined that my 1.9 TDI previously! I've diagnosed a thermostat problem since it only reaches 60 degress on a 120 mile motorway journey...

At the end of last year I suffered a series of dispiriting ABC problems with my 2003 SL 500 (R230): new strut, new tandem pump and finally a new connecting rod (following a total collapse of the os/front suspension). Today the car was idling in a traffic jam for about 5 minutes when the ns/f...

My new to me 2012 c63 vibrates at idle (nothing ridiculously unusual) but every few seconds or so it also will have a bigger shake that you can really feel, i'd like to say a knock, but it's not really audible, you can only feel it. Mainly felt through brake pedal and drivers floor and if you...

Advise required please My C220CDI 2007 W204 automatic has developed an issue when stopped at traffic lights in gear that the engine does not stop at a constant idle it "Hunts" the revs do not appear to change on the rev counter but the sound appears to rise and fall a little. Does anyone have...

Any help will be appreciated if someone can guide me in the right direction. Mileage is 173000 km. Transmission also makes a whining sound. Not sure if that is a separate issue though. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

Hi. I've been having issues with my car. It has developed a misfire/ erratic idle. I put my cheapie fault reader on it and it showed misfire on cylinder two. I changed the plugs and fitted a new coil pack and it was a lot better but it still has this erratic idle where it sounds as if it's...

I daily drive a 1987 300ce with just over 40k miles. Since I bought it a year ago, it's had a slight shake at idle when in drive or reverse. The revs do not fluctuate, but every second or two you get a slight shake from the engine that's felt through the body. The car also jolts when shifting...

Hi all. Started up my c43 today and noticed a ticking sound coming from the engine bay,had a look under the hood and it seems to be coming from the front left side around the ABS pump assembly. The sound is not like ticking you get from noisy tappets more like when you testing a spark plug...

Hi As a newbie, advance apologies for asking question previously discussed. I have a high idle issue with my 1986 420sl. I've changed the OVP made no difference :-( I'm now thinking the ICV is perhaps the wrong part mine is 0001411225 and on searching I've come up with 0001411265 which...

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...

I've been scrolling through the threads and articles on trying to increase the idle on my 1992 300TD. It only needs to be adjusted a tiny amount but I haven't really got my head around how to do it. Any help appreciated

I have a w202 c180, from cold the car will start and run ok for about 5 seconds then start misfiring and gradually stall. When the car heats up it will sit and idle perfectly with no problem but when you try and accelerate it starts misfiring and backfiring through the inlet manifold. I have...

Hi, I need the advice of you experts on here! My car is 2011 C-Class coupe C250 2.2 CDI. OM651 engine. Here's what's happened. I started the car one morning and the idle was very erratic, before eventually the engine stalled. Didn't get off the drive. 30 mins later it started and ran...

Hi all, The old girl has started hunting at idle. I've had a weep at the delivery valve seals for a while now, that I've never got around to fixing. Could this be the culprit? If so, can anyone recommend an online supplier for the o-rings and copper washers please? Thanks

I am after opinions on what this can be. 1990 500SL R129. I did have some lumpy idle issues and have changed dizzy caps and rotors for Beru. I have cleaned all connections to Idle control valve and checked working OK . Have checked the connections and fuse on the voltage protection relay...
