jerky

Coming up to 23K miles in my 2011 C class (manual) I have always been impressed with the smooth torque at low revs from the turbo enhanced motor. Recently however, I have noticed a distinct lack of smoothness, to the point of jerkiness. Also noticeable on cruise control. Example, set...

Hi, I could really use some advise with my car please... I purchased an E320 CDI 2007 V6 facelift model just over a year ago with full MBSH & 42500 on the clock. Car needed a service 'E' at the time and was a couple of weeks overdue so I only drove the car very gently for 300 miles or so and...

Folks 2004 C240 V6 Petrol - Auto My C240 has just had a new engine fitted. It has developed a problem since then which appears to be getting worse. It seems not to know which gear it should be in. So when you pull away if sometimes feels like it is in fifth gear (really low revs, no grunt)...

Haven't experienced it myself, but the wife reported problems with the car running smoothly earlier where she said it was "like a manual bouncing off the clutch" edging forward or back at low speed, ie. all jerky. Cleared up after being parked for 45 mins. Does that amount to anything obvious...

Dear Forum, I have been having a problem with my electric glass sunroof on my 2004 E320 Avantgarde Estate. The sunroof has been operating "jerkily" i.e using the slide function it opens about 2 inches at a time but closes on one touch. I have reset it by pulling the fuse and using the sunroof...

I have a mercedes c220 automatic on a 54 plate. I am quite happy with the car except that it is occasionally jerky when changing gear at low speeds, and it doesn't seem to know which gear to be in at 30mph. I find that it is best to select a 3rd gear to make the ride more comfortable. Is this...

This only occurs when I've been driving the car for a good few hours in traffic.. A few hours 2+ - traffic = stop start city driving. Also happens at idle (leave a friend in the car and run into a shop) This has been going on for a few months now.. The car is perfect other than this. The...

hello guys, i thought id raise this with you. Recently ive been getting a jerky feel to my braking when slowing down (but a smooth refined jerk :confused:)..if that makes sense. Its just began to happen in the last couple of weeks. Could it be my discs are warped causing this jerk, or...

hi all... Have noticed that while the engine is still cold, when coming to a stop at a junction; the car lurches (very gently but noticeable all the same) into what must be first gear. I was wondering if this is normal? :dk: If not, any ideas? (E 280- W 211) Thanks in advance!

I have read many of the threads regarding lumpy gear changes etc. but have not found one that meets my experience with the car. Basically the gear change is quite abrupt when changing up at speed or when the car changes down. If you press hard done on the accelerator, it goes down the gears ok...

Hi guys, I am having some problems with my W209, hope you can help?? It is a W209, 2005, @ 58,000 miles. Problem is that when I break (rather gently), the car jerks when it is about to stop. No funny noise, it just jerks when it is about to stop. It has been happening before, on and...

I have a 1998 230K SLK automatic. I'm a bit concerned about the gearbox. When I'm driving it normally, the gearbox is fine - changes up and down smoothly, but when pushed flat out to the red line the up changes are followed by a jerk into the next gear. It's fine if I lift off the gas going into...

Bought a Nice E320 CDI, 2005 plate with 120k and a Full book of stamps and paper work with the car. Just in general driving around 0-50 mph car feels jerky and hesitant. Gave the MAF a clean. Have had the gearbox oil changed. Car judders and the rev's go up and down till about 50mph...

Afternoon All, I have a small problem (though could be expensive??) with the gearbox on my 2001 CLK. It's the 5 speed auto box with the tiptronic function. A couple of times recently when I have engaged reverse the car has jerked backwards slightly (like a very lumpy gear change) and then...

The speedo on my w210 has become jerky intermittantly at the moment, most noticable when accelerating hard obviously. Speed sensor problem perhaps ???

ive got a w202 C180 is there any way to service the mono wiper as sometimes it seems really stiff when in operation:eek:

Hi All Been a while since I posted on this site - have upgraded to 55 amg since my last visit! My question is regarding the Tiptronic in 'M' mode using the paddles (or buttons depending on what you want to call it). When I change gear in my car it takes what seems like quite some time...

As the title really! My w203 c220 cdi has been cutting out for no apparent reason - usually on cold mornings. I have owned the car since last April, it is an 03 plate with about 50,000 and a full MB history. It first did it just after I got it and then it was fine during the summer...

I drive a 1997 C200 202A. It has a electronic 5 speed auto gear box and has done about 120,000 km. Lately during gear change, the gear seems to be at neutral for a split second before the next gear is engaged. This causes the car to free wheels and then jerk forward. the jerks are more...

I have just tried a second time to have my jerky E280CDI box fixed and its come back the same. Symptoms are a clunky 1-2 change very quickly after pulling away (within the first few yards), a surge/jolt 2-3 change and agressive 3-2 and 2-1 changes (as if a learner had not learned how to match...
