jumped

Can anyone help explain why my Viano service counter interval could jump from due in around 12000km to being 68km overdue. The van has been running fine but today was really sluggish to turn over and I thought the battery was drained. After turning off everything (audio system etc), it fired up...

Hi all I have had a slight rattle on cold start and engine management light on for a few months now. Which intermittently turns on and off. I decided today to take it to local mechanic to get it checked out using his diagnostic machine. Camshaft timing Error in exhaust camshaft detected...

Hey guys, I started my c230k this morning and the rpms shot up to 2200 for about 1 second, and then back to 1200 to warm up and the back to normal idle. Initial start up was louder than usual but there was no shaking, idle hunting or misfire. It wasn't even that cold, only 15 degrees...

Hi. I have a Merc CLK 200, 2003 (53) reg. A few weeks ago, on Cold Start the engine started juddering. Last week the engine started juddering whilst it was hot and then stopped juddering in a few mins. Now my car doesn't start at all. The RAC man wrote the following in his report, but I am aware...

I thought I would share my story. I had my 53 plate w203 180 k serviced last week (18/12/2008 A Service) On christmas eve at 7pm it refused to start. I called Mobilolife and they arranged for local breakdown to attend. About 40 mins later a tow truck arrived and car was transported to my home...

I've had my W203 for a week now (my first MB - Auto, 2002 60,000 miles FMBSH). I've probably done about 800 happy miles so far but today I had a worrying experience. I was driving though a bend at about 30mph in D and when I applied the accelerator through the bend, the engine raced and drive...

Driving along the motorway (windy bridge over the River Medway) I hit a bump and my passenger side front indicator assembly jumps out of its socket and is liberally spread over the carraigeway! Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any advice over what steps to take to ensure...
