Hi My dad owns a 1995 W202 C180 and recently it's making some strange intermittent whistles/beeps. Here's a video https://youtu.be/liXpIi-wr6A. Most of the time, the whistles eventually disappear after 5-15mins, but come back after a while. Does anyone know what might be the cause of it...

2002 Avantgarde, She starts fine when cold; but, occasionally cuts-out when warm and quite predictably fails to start when warm. usually a cooling off period helps. When she fails to start she will crank and usually try to fire-up, often running very rough, before 'dropping off'. This started in...

Sorry if this is the wrong section, please feel free to move it if it is. I suppose I'm just looking for a little reassurance that this isn't anything to be particularly concerned about, and that I haven't bought a lemon. I took the car through a car wash today (I know I should wash it by...

Hi Guys, I have been having a little intermittent issue with my sensors on my E class coupe. Long story short.. parking sensors work but now and then (at least once a day) they dont come on at all. No amber or red light on. no sound. I then need to either put it back into Neutral and back...

Hi, I'm a newbie MB owner and have had a Volvo V70 for that past 6 years but decided to go for a 56 (registered Jan 2007) E350 AvantGarde Estate but it's suffering from intermittent starting problems. It will occasionally start first time but the other day it took a good 20 mins or more to...

We bought an 06 SLK 200 with 117k miles on the clock in October 2015. Since April 16 we have had intermittent starting problems which neither our independant (MB trained) mechanic nor an MB main dealer have been able to trace. All the electrical services appear to work as they should when the...

Over the last week or so I've noticed that my ECO stop/start is only working now and then, I've tried turning it off and back on again but to no avail, I've checked settings got no messages or faults. Not sure what is causing it to work intermittently? Should I be concerned about it. PS this...

Hello, I'm hoping I may get some pointers as to what may be going wrong with my 1999 C200 Elegance Auto. The battery was replaced middle of January this year after I managed to run it flat. After coming back from a week's holiday this month every now and then the car will have issues...

Hi, not all the time but alot of the time, especially after a drive say 10+ miles my car makes a very strange noise only when moving from the gearshift area. Doesn't always do it and sometimes never at all, have found going uphill makes it louder and sometimes it can be really loud like the...

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...

I am just getting to grips with my MB SL280 (1994), the car is in great condition although I have found a few easy fix niggles. For some reason the electric seat buttons are playing up, very odd, charged the battery checked the fuses etc and they seemed to be OK. Then just stopped working...

Hi all, I am new to the forum with a 99 c250 td. I have an intermittent exterior light warning symbol that keeps appearing on the dash. I have checked all bulbs including reverse, parking lights, fogs and number plate lights. I have checked the fuses and fuse box for any corrosion at...

Hello All I am at my wits end over an intermittent electrical problem that affects my indicators, wipers, electric seats and windows - they will work fine which they are now - good chance they will not work tomorrow and will work again after while. have had it to three garages now ( not a merc...

Hi guys, over the last few days I've had a problem with the airmatic compressor on my w211 e500 estate. The pump will sometimes stay on continuously for around half an hour/40 minutes and occasionally will make a loud banging noise. It does this regardless if the engine/ignition is on or not...

Hello there, right, I have another issue with my old 124 /-: Every so often, since a couple of months ago, I get a smell of burning oil in the car. It appears suddenly and then it's gone again. The oil level is not dropping faster then would be expected with an engine that's done over 100k so...

I have searched multiple forums and I’ve spent hours troubleshooting this issue but can’t figure it out. If I leave my car for more than a day my windows, and side view mirrors stop working. If I unhook the battery, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in everything starts working again for a...

Hi all, My car runs perfectly except when all of a sudden i will lose the temp gaige needle - it just drops like the ignition is off. Car then stays in one gear and wont shift unless u do tiptronic. Then out of nowhere the temp needle wakes up and shoots back to 90c and the transmission is...

Hi all. I'm having an intermittent battery drain on my 2004 S350. I have a brand new battery fitted. Some times it will go for days unused and start fine in the morning. Some times it'll be so flat the doors won't unlock after one night. I've connected an ammeter in series to the -ve...

Hi all & thanks for such a great informative site. This is my first post but I hope to be able to contribute more over time. My o/h has owned a 2008 R171 SLK280 from new. when it was about 3 months old it developed a problem where the smart key would remotely unlock the doors but when...
