intermittent

Two oddities.. The cruise control has been playing up for a while now - it would engage and then 10 seconds later drop out - so much so that I stopped using it. Until the other day I tried it on the way up to Nottingham and it worked as normal - which it has done on the last two trips up...

Guys I am a neewbie to this forum and i am looking for some help with my 96 C200 W202. Occasionally my indicators, Intermittent wiper and rear windscreen heater stop working. I have been told that it could be a problem with condensation and i was shown that when the plasic plug was removed from...

Power loss on my W203 C220CDI. The sequence of events is as follows: On hard acceleration taking the rpms above 4K everything fine until you let off the accelerator to reduce speed (traffic/road conditions etc.) and then when you accelerate again the power is gone. Now the engine revs only...

Does anyone know if it is possile to "adjust" the intermittent wipe intervals on my 2005 W211 saloon?........I find it is usually wiping too frequently for the prevailing conditions when in Auto mode. I think that this is controlled by an electronic box under the bonnet, and wondered if it has a...

My E320 aircon (manual controls) has been topped up (no leaks) but continues to switch on and off at random....it is OK when it works....any clues to resolve please

Hi all, I have a very strange intermittent leak from what seems to be the fuel pump, but only happens for the first few minutes of the engine running. It will then go away until the car has been stopped for a few days. Even the next day it will not start leaking again, it has to be left for a...

Hi all, I've recently bought a '99 CLK Convertible and have a couple of issues. Firstly the heater fan only works when it wants to, it's about 50/50 whether it will work with different settings AC on or off etc. all not making any difference - any suggestions where to start? Checked fuses when...

I have a intermittent starting problem that seems to getting worse on a E320 cdi. When starting the car sometimes it is totally dead when trying to fire up, i hear a click followed by a bit of clattering from under the car then a slight "BANG" noise this was happening every few days however now...

Hi When I was driving to work this morning, I lost power to the electric windows, sunroof, wipers and indicators. Given that it is intermittent I assume that it's not a blown fuse. I found the thread below and I'm fairly confident that it's the same problem (N10 relay). Does anyone know if it...

HI, I have a 02 C220cdi. The engine on startup makes a knocking almost clacking noise. if i increase revs to around 2500 rpm, the noise disappears and it sounds smooth as silk, even back at idle. Once the engine heats up the noise returns again (sometimes) at idle but disappears once driving...

Hi, I've just bought a 1998 (S) A140 for the wife. It has 77k miles and seems in great condition. It ran fine for the first week. I fitted a new air filter as the existing one was quite dirty.. Now this week every so often it keeps spluttering / stalling. I replaced the spark plugs last...

1995 E320 W124 estate. HFM injection, 3 coil packs, no distributor. RCL remote locking (infra-red) probably with automatic immobiliser. Standard car. No history of starting problems or any other problems. Car runs smoothly, pulls very well, no contra-indications Intermittent starting problems...

Any ideas please? Someone I know has a 320 SL, which has had the gearbox rebuilt. A couple of times, changing from D to R, the box has remained in neutral. A diagnostic check suggested a CAN problem, and could not be cleared. The following readout was printed: Motor Electronics 2 P1681-154...

Any ideas on this one ? I'm thinking some sort of sensor or air fault ? When starting the car, it will sometimes run like its only firing on 5 or 4 cylinders. It runs the same upon acceleration as it does at idle. Doesn't stop when idling, but has this ongoing regular misfire / lag. Especially...

I have trawled the threads for anyone who has had a similar problem to mine, buy alas to no avail. My car is a C220cdi Auto coupe (Dec 2003 53 plate 46,000mls), which only starts intermittently, the weather, location etc does not seem to matter and it can go a several days with no problems...

The passenger seat on my ML270 is very reluctant to allow the electric adjustment controls to work - any ideas where to start looking? (Its worked a couple of times but usually does nothing, the heat part is working fine, as are all the other electrics bar the rear parking sensors). TIA, R.

now that the car has thawed out I seem to have developed an intermittent problem with the front parking sensors Every now and again (seems to be mainly in the first five of minutes after startup) the front parking dislay in the car lights up just the two red bars in both displays and the...

I have a CLK 500, 2002, auto. Recently it has started to stick in 1st gear when setting off and no matter how many or how few rev's i give it it will not change up. It only happens now and then and will not change manually either. The only way to carry on driving is to stop turn all off and...
