Hello fellow MB owners, currently chasing some quite annoying problems with my car. 1. The engine "stutters" at low RPMs (aprox around 1500ish), which makes it very unpleasant to drive, especially in the city. Seems to go away somewhat when applying full throttle on acceleration. 2...

Has a smoking exhaust on idle but doesn't use extra oil or coolant during runs? any ideas guys? Valve stem job possibly? Kind Regards, Manny

Mercedes C220 CDI W203 Auto Car is shaking on idle but once over 10 mph car runs very smooth. It also picks up speed a little late. Took the car to the mechanic, who told me changing all 4 injectors will solve the problem. Got all 4 reconditioned for 500 pounds, got them fitted problem is still...

Hi all, i had my EGR deleted via the software on my 270 cdi W209 and after a couple of months the smoke was still building up so i took my boost pipe off and looked at the EGR and the piston was constantly opening and closing on idle, should it be moving at all if it was deleted and is it...

Should diesel Mercs be warmed up for a few seconds or minutes when starting from cold?? Can driving off from cold cause any real damage to engine or turbo? Is the warm up issue just a myth or an important part of driving a diesel? What are your thoughts on this. Would be interesting to get a...

Hello guys, Just got a 2001 C200K SportsCoupe with Sensotronic gearbox. The car is lovely to drive and really nice and solid. With no rust!!! lol well only a couple very minor spots, when I switch it on from cold... the revs will hunt ie 1200rpm down to 800rpm up to 1200rpm down to 800rpm and...

Hi, Had the car serviced at MB 6 weeks ago and I haven't really driven it since what with the crappie weather plus I have a co car. I started the car today and noticed a squeak noise coming from the V belt area, without thinking and checking the pulleys were all turning etc i just sprayed a very...

Hi All! I've read trough many threads about M111 idle problems. This problem is up since 3 years, always had a little improvement, not shakin the chassis as much as it did before, but i still hear it misfires on idle. First thing that i've noticed before, the purge valve was stucked open. It...

Hi all, I have been having a problem with idling, at any engine temp, when I come to a stop the revs drop to 600 to 700 and it stall on occasion. If I put the car in neutral the revs lift and it avoids the stall. I'm selling the car and a helpful prospective buyer located a connection on...

Hi All I hate to seem like another one of those guys that appear on forums just for help but I can assure you this isn't me! Im a giver! anyways I have recently bought a ml430 lovely car but one thing is bugging me that i cant seem to crack! A rough idle, car sits about about 550rpm on tick...

Hello, I am new to the forum and new to the merc world, I recently inherited an old carbed 190 from my grandfather, the thing is running rich an gives terrible mpg's and a bit rough on idle 1100 rpm can anyone help me to adjust it? the worst is that the mot station told me if you want to use...

Hi Guys I need to increase the revs a little but not sure where the adjustment is. Mr car is a 1985 200 Petrol. Does anyone know or maybe have a picture? cheers Sean

Hey folks, New to the forum so forgive any ignorance. I've been pulling my hair out for the past week and desperate for assistance. I bought a W203 C180k M271 and have ran it flawlessly for 6 months. My MAF has been unplugged (as is faulty) the entire time and gives me an extra...

2008 W204 C200 CDi On idle the engine is hunting a little. The fluctuation is very small (probably no more than 100rpm) but it is there when cold or warm. Is this a problem or normal? New thermostat being fitted this week. Don't know if the two are connected? Thanks Chris

Can anyone point me at this, please? The old bus is idling too low and the Haynes Book of Lies is as helpful as ever... :wallbash: Cheers, etc.

I have a 98 model e200 and trying to sort all its little foibles out! She runs fine but needs a bit of throttle when first started. Not sure when it was last serviced so that's first on the agenda but I'm curious as to if it may be more like maf sensor. Would best thing be to change plugs oil...

Hi All. I just came down the M1 and the old battleship (124 ) was running like clockwork until we hit some traffic and were doing stop and go for a few miles. Every time the engine was idling she did a little stutter . As soon as we were driving again all was well. I put on a set of new leads...

hi, Car is 2008 S320, 100,00 miles. Im have a problem with the car cutting out at idle and sometimes while driving. its been doing this only the last month. When im at traffic lights or train station crossing the car ticks over fine then it just cuts out with no Engine MGMT light. Once I turn...

Hi all, My c32 just went for its mot and it failed on emitions. The local garage tweaked up the mixture through star to get it through the test but I want to sort it permanently. I recently fitted k&n filters but apart from that it is completely stock. Should I be getting a remap or...
