idle

Hi to all, Im new to MBClub and indeed new to Mercedes. I have recently purchased a non-runner 1998 E300 td from an internet auction site. I bought it with a faulty fuel pump.Upon arrival it was soon clear that some fool had been messing around with something, they clearly knew nothing about. I...

Hi All, I'm new here so please forgive me my mistakes, I bought my car just one week ago. My A180 2.0D 57reg is making awful noise when on idle it's enough to touch the accelerator and it works fine and it's quiet, when I was testing it I didn't notice, maybe because the surrounding noise from...

Good day, my name is Lucian. This is my first post here, sadly it is of a problematic nature of my car and i seek your opinions and guidance to aid in resolving the issue. I will start with some facts about the automobile. It is a MB 300ce coupe produced in 1990 with a five speed automatic...

A friend of mine has just bought a 2002, S class, 350 petrol. In neutral the idle speed is around 850 to 875rpms. It seems a little high as it will propel the car at a reasonable rate just on idle. Could anyone confirm this idle speed is correct, I would have thought around 700ish may have been...

Ive been having trouble with idle speed since I got it, finally fixed every Vacuum leak and thought my idle was solved. However Ive noticed after a long drive, the idle continues to creep up. This is a replaced but used Valve.. I tried the "spring" mod (pulling out the centre cap slightly) but...

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum, since buying a 240 CLK. Its an 03 model, and all running fine, except, sometimes when stopping at junctions or traffic lights, the engine idle will drop almost to the point of stalling, but will then pick up to normal within a couple of seconds. it only...

Hello, I am new to MBClub UK. I have had an 2003 SL 500 for the last 5 years which has now done 95000 miles. Engine runs and sounds sweet but I have recently noticed slightly louder engine noise in the cabin when idling. Engine sounds fine when driving. Local MB said I had worn engine and...

Hi guys! Firstly I wanted to say hello, its the first post on this forum. I have a common problem with my 2002 CLK320 W208 Coupe. Problem: Car runs perfectly, although when it gets warm round 80 C it shakes a little when in drive. The rpms come down just a little and you can feel a...

Evening folks, Just bought another Mercedes. This time its a C220cdi Auto. 01 model. Car dives excellent, very responsive, very pleased with it. However, at idle its not very well, it idles at approx 650rpm, the whole car shakes, if i touch the throttle slightly and put it at 750 rpm its...

I have a E220 avantgarde w211 facelift model 170bhp, I don't know if this is a problem or not but seems to be very random. When the climate control is on without air conditioning on the idle increases to about 850 rpm then sometimes drops back to 750 rpm but mainly stays at about 850 rpm. If I...

when I say rough its more a blip now and again when sitting in traffic hot or cold, so far I have fitted ILFR6A X16, 16 X HT Bosch leads, and even changed the inlet gaskets, car has done 60k and at £5 each for the gaskets from merc I would defo recommend changing these, as mine where shot and...

...as we all know is restricted to 3000. So, the question is, why does mine rev right up to the maximum 4500 and beyond when the engine is cold, but eventually is restricted to 3000 as the motor gets warm?

Not sure if this is a problem, but my w202 c230k is quite loud upon start up and even when it settles down, the idle seems a bit high. Is this normal? It hovers slightly below 1000 rpm in Park. In Drive or Reverse, it settles down to about 700. Are there any small replacements I can do to...

Hi, Can anyone advise what the Idle rpm should be on the above? Mine is dwindiling around the 500 mark and, although she hasn't cut out on me at all, I feel it is slightly too low. Had a look on Youtube at a couple of videos of these idling and they seem to be more around the 700-800 mark...

Hi all, So a long time after selling my 430 its good to say I am back! This time still in the CLK, but now a much more sensible 2003 270 Cdi which I picked up yesterday. Everything seems fine with the car apart from one small thing - the idle speed. This is only when first started up (cold...

Hello all, So the symptoms, basically the car(c280 1995) is in gear the idle gets really twitchy, f i hold the idle at about 800rmp its perfect. ive replaced the coil packs and HT leads as they were a bit old anyway. what i find confusing is that when i unplug the MAF with the car...

This post is to be added to the pile of 'poor idle' threads that can be found on this forum - perhaps it might help others solve a very common and often an extremely persistent problem with their W124. This post relates to 4 cylinder M111 engines like mine, and the 6 cylinder units built post...

hi everybody Im new to Mercedes as this is only my second one in 9 months, thought id step right in and buy a used clk 55 amg..... whoops nothing like stepping into the deep end! I took it to merc and they cant find any major issues.....? but in the last few days ive had strong petrol...

When I learnt to drive 20 odd years ago, my instructor told me never to turn off the engine when stationery in traffic or stopping momentarily as the engine used a lot less fuel when idle than it did when starting off. I still follow this advice, but I do wonder if there is any truth in it?

Hi, my W210 e320 (m112) has an uneven idle which is more noticable in neutral than in 'D' with your foot on the brake but still noticable in the latter. It's sometimes not present if the engine is hot & been for a decent run but more often than not the fault is there. I went to change the...
