intermittent

Help please. My Drivers side wing mirror doesn't always open when I get in the car. Usually if I lock and unlock the car that does the trick (was waiting for the weather to improve). This morning it won't open at all, temp was a balmy 5 degrees so its not frozen closed. I can't hear any...

Hi, New member here and I think this topic may have been covered in the past albeit I need some guidance: My C200 Elegance has manual air-con controls. The blower will suddenly spring to life on full blast and heat for a period of 3 to 10 minutes. During this time, it cannot be turned down...

Hello, I am new to this forum. I have been running an '01 E55 estate for 2.5 years and thoroughly enjoy it. A great mixture of pace, space and stealth. However, every now and then the ABS and ESP (i think it is ESP) warning lights appear on the dash board telling me to go to a garage. The...

After taking my car into a minor service it has developed a very strange fault which let me stranded at a shopping centre carpark for an hour:crazy: My car seems to intermittently not want to start. It doesn't sound like a dead battery as it doesn't even spark up. The only signs of life is...

Hi, For the last 2 months I have had 3 or 4 occasions whereby the engine does not start but it turns over for a few seconds until I stop it. On the next turn it works fine (within 1/2 a second). Tonight I tried 4 times but it never fired up (engine was cold), I left it for five minutes and...

Bought a 2002 mercedes clk320 this week and he guy didn't tell me that the speedo doesn't always read right! In the mornings the needle gets stuck at 15-20 mph although the digital reading is correct also you can hear the occasional ticking as well. Every time I have driven home from work though...

I had a bit of a problem with my daily '97 C180 today. Called in to do some shopping and came out to start the car and it would not tick over on low revs at all. So to get out of the way of other traffic I had to 'two foot it' i.e keep the revs up with the right foot and use the left foot for...

My CLK has an intermittent problem, which I initially thought was related to the gearbox refusing to kick down. My local garage looked at it, and said gearbox fine, but loss of power is from the turbo being clogged up as a result of the car not being driven hard enough. They recommended driving...

Wondered if anyone could help me with an issue with my new MB2 Viseeo unit. I'm using an HTC handset which paired fine. However every now and then (usually at start of journey) music will cut for around 2 secs and the Viseeo signal shows no bars then it comes back. Happens and 4/5 times in half...

New C250 with Audio 20, HK & becker. Every so often after starting the engine the ipod remains in pause and won't play. I can fast forward but it gets stuck in FF mode too. If I sswitch to the radio the volume won't increase??:confused: Anyone experienced this? Cheers

My father in law has a problem with his E300 DT not starting. He has been into the local Mercedes dealer twice so far and had the following replaced at a cost of £640. All fuel pipes The non return valve The air pipes on the inlet manifold 2 fuel filters The problem persists and he is...

Can anyone tell me if they have had a similar issue? Is it a fault or is it something more sinister? Thanks. Chris

Hi I hope someone might be able to help throw some light on this new feature my trusty 300D has developed. When the engine is fully warmed up (not over heated) and I stop the engine she will not restart. Turns over fine but will not fire !! I guess this is fuel related but cannot determine...

Hmmmm, Funny one. The Benz seems to not want to start every week or so...but will after a couple of lock/unlock sequences. ?? Could this be a problem with the immobilisor/alarm? I have noticed that upon locking the vehicle it doesn't always 'beep' + indicator flash... I'm going to...

hello all , my 2007 ml occasionally judders through the gears when i give the car some welly, today after the fault occurred for about 20 seconds the engine would not rev past 1200 revs , Ive had a few problems with turbo /air issues recently , any thought would be appreciated , thanks in advance ,

I have a 1993 CDi220. The alternator/battery warning light comes on intermittently, just for a second or two, then goes out. Recently this has been happening more and more (although it seems to happen more at speeds over 60). Had it checked by local independent who says everything checks out but...

Guys, Looks as though I have an intermittent start-up issue. Sometimes it just doesn't seem like there is enough power on start-up. Please note that I have just put in 4 gauge power to the boot...perhaps the battery is struggling with the new load? Any alternative ideas? This is an...

Hi, I currently have a problem with the rear lights going haywire on my 2003 S211. It has been going on since I acquired the car 1 year ago. It's very much an intermittent fault - when it occurs the main (outer) rear lights switch off and the backup lights (in the boot lid) come on instead. I...

Recently, I have noticed that my C250 CDi seems to have its usual power low in the revs which builds up to about 2500revs, but then there does not appear to be any more power available, but it keeps reving up to the limit. (Do alot of city driving so not much opportunity latley to unleash the...

I posted this in the ENGINE section thinking I had a fuel delivery or vacuum problem. Then it struck me that possibly this is an intermittent electrical problem so I thought possibly one of you electrical gurus might help me see the light. So here's what I wrote: I have a '94 C250 4-door...
