intermittent

Hi forum! I have a R350 '06 (272bhp engine with 7G-tronic gearbox) and recently on 2 occasions the car have been stuck in gear. Both times I've been close to home and I've just parked (and when I've driven away again everything seems normal). Last time it happened I was more "alert" to the...

I recently bought a 320 CLK and have managed to break the electrics on it. I managed to blow the cigarette light fuse, which I replaced which I thought was the end of the issue. A day or so later I unlocked the car and the right mirror didn't deploy, so checked the fuses, all okay there, the...

Hi, I got the new C Class (W205), The Sat Nav is the Garmin SD based one supplied with the car. The 2 usb slots and one SD slot is inside the little storage box between the seats. Sometimes when i start the engine , the sat nav shows - "No Memory Card Containing navigation Software...

I have an ongoing problem that I have mentioned before but basically the roof button stays lit as does the headrest button the mirrors stop working the remote boot release and all the windows. To clear I disconnect the battery for 30 seconds then reconnect and go through setting windows and...

Hi All Recently changed all glow plugs as ohms readings of 3 were way off, so 5 new went in. Retested new ones as well. Plugs harness tested too and with plugs connected readings are 1.1ohms on all. Read voltage on all 6 socket pins in the GP Relay and all read the battery. Theres another...

I have previously posted (years ago?) about one of my headlights going out whilst driving. The problem appeared to have cleared up, until the cold , damp weather started - I now find that the offside light starts to flicker and goes out! I can bring it back on by turning the lights off then on...

My good lady wife has had an intermittent niggle with her A210 for a little while. When she goes to start the car the dash lights all come on but nothing happens at the key. No clicking just dead. The solution she has employed is to put the car in gear and rock it gently, (she's only little)...

Hi I replaced my daughters brake master cylinder on her Kia Picanto about 3 months ago to cure a brake binding problem (common fault it seems). All was fine until 2 weeks ago when she suffered brake failure (pedal travel to the floor) once. I checked system for leaks ( no loss of fluid)...

This week my so far trusty clk has decided to push my patience to its limits. Firstly at just the wrong moment the remote central locking decided to pack in and i then discovered that the key on the drivers door doesnt work. I got in thru the boot and started pulling fuses and relays out of...

Hi all We have an E320, S210 2002 and it has been running great until the other morning when we jumped into it and started it. The motor turned a couple of times then there was a whizzing sort of sound and the motor stopped cranking. I turned the ignition key to Off and there was a slight clunk...

Hi , I have a strange fault on my E class 2.4 1998 . i have an intermittent problem with my central locking and electric windows which seems to appear after a period of cold/damp weather . the central locking refuses to work either RF or the sensor on doors , usually after using the metal key...

Does anyone know the high level operation cycle of this? The car has keyless, so the feature is brilliant - just approach the boot, pull the handle & up it goes. Except this morning it didn't. Pulled the handle & the lid popped up an inch but didn't fully "unlatch", so had to pull the handle...

Clk 240 w209 intermittently hasnt started for about a week. All dash lights light up. Display correctly says car is in park. After rocking the car in park it started. Until today. No wont start at all. Any ideas

My cruise control refused to turn on yesterday during a motorway run at 70mph. Slightly annoying but I pressed on, thinking it might be the switch. Then an hour or so later I tried it on a 60 limit and it worked fine. Any ideas? The car is a 1990 S124 300TE-24 with no ASD/ASR and the 4...

Seem to have an issue with the screen on my C class NTG 4.5 command. The display is breaking up really badly, although a slight tap on the side restores it for a short period. Feels like a loose connection to me but not sure how to fix it? When it is working the screen is fine, so no issues with...

Hi all My 2002 220cdi auto estate started playing up by not starting. To clarify, I put key in and dash lights up, turn to start and nothing. Turn off, turn on and away we go. Next time dash lights up, won't start. Turn off and back on and nothing. Wiggle gearlever while in park, try key again...

Hello all, Since about a week ago my car doesn't want to start as smooth as she used to. Sometimes she starts first thing and sometimes it takes a few minutes. I had a similar problem about a year ago and it turned out that a rubber connection from a vacuum pipe was corroded and after fixing it...

Hi all, S Class 350 2003 W220 New owner and member here, I have spent the last few days reading nearly all of the threads which have been very useful but have a few problems that don't seem covered. I am going to post them individually hopefully in the right areas to see if anyone can...

'90 300CE 12v This generally happens when slowing to a stop - so nearly at idle - dash lights come on. Once I have caught it on the throttle and fired up again. Once it kept happening on startup - catch it on throttle to keep revs up Does this sound like a CPS problem ? Any ideas please

Hi All, This is a great site and I thought I would write my first post to get some help from the experts on this forum. I am experiencing intermittent starting problems with my S class. Eight times out of ten it will fail to start first time. After turning the key in the ignition (and...
