kick

Can anyone tell me if its possible to remove the scratches and scuffs on the driver and passenger sills of a SL ? Does that metal polish stuff work ...cant remember its name had a tube years ago to get rid of rust and pitting on another car ....

I all, I have an issue with one of my illuminated kick plates in that it has stopped working. I have removed it and exposed the wiring, and put a tester across the power supply to what looks like a control pack. There is 12v going in, but when tested across the output terminals (there are 3) I...

Hello I have a wonderful C250 TD that has been very reliable however last night on the motorway after about 150 miles of driving it felt like there was no power, or at least no assisted power from the turbo. I could rev it up to around 1800-2000 mark and usually you can feel the car with a...

Mine looks like this; So I need a new one! Here is the part number - I am struggling to find one does anyone know if any other part number would be ok? Thanks

The amount of time it seems to take my car to kick down then accelerate when I boot it makes me wonder if removing the kick switch from the accelerator pedal may improve things. Has anyone done this, are there any implications?

Has anybody noticed that when you use the kick down, the gearbox will kick down too many gears lifting the revs far too high in the area of the revv range where there is no power before changing up to the next gear? I find it quite annoying, and when I overtake sometimes takes 3 or 4 seconds...

hi folks, new member here.. just bought my self another w210 e55 amg, after selling my bmw 635csi - now the car had been locked away in previous owners lockup (he's in spain most of time). Battery was completely and utterly dead, and the guy who fired it up for me had jump started it. it was...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, but gained some great info before recently buying my 2007 SL 350, so thanks. My SL needs some love and although low mileage for a 2007 at 40K, she's been mistreated a little and needs some TLC. One of the first areas to sort are multiple scratches to the chrome? door...

Hi guys need some help I went out in my wife's 2000 ml 270 cdi and noticed it wouldn't kick down when I needed it to it just gathered speed slowly could it be the kick down switch part on the floor it does seem to press down ok or something else Thanks

Hi all, Decided to take the ml for a drive yesterday and its not good news. Was taking it easy until she warmed up then when I tried to pick up some speed, there was nothing! There was no kick down, no power, but didn't see any smoke either. I can manually select gears but still feels like...

Just purchased my first Mercedes a 1998 C200 sport auto. The kickdown doesnt seem to work properly. It just makes the car rev high and loose power when i push down on the pedal. Where do I start looking ? I was thinking transmission fluid maybe low ?? Or faulty kickdown switch ? Anyone else...

Hi guys does any one knows how an when to use the kick down button? When I press the kick down on my e class w211 cdi I don't feel any difference. Is there any special way to use it? Thanks in advance

When i go to pull away fast or kick down the car feels like it is spluttering and wont speed up , if i pull away normal its ok ?

Ive recently had a few problems thought id got over them doing EGR delete, but still a few bugs, im pretty sure my cars not goin into limp mode. But its changing gear at 2000rpm or just over even when im flooring it pulls well upto that point but chnges up, when cruising wont kick down when i...

Driving through a far too long 50 limit on the M62 with average speed cameras today (no work going on of course) I always use the speed limiter, its amazing how many pass you at an exact 50mph. At LAST it finished, so I pushed the stalk to turn off the limiter and booted it.... Maybe a bit too...

Some scratches but not too bad 50 quid plus postage

:bannana: Hi all I have recently had issues with my e320 where it was very sluggish and kick down stopped...

Hi so I was kicking my tyres today because I've got 3 slow punctures and when I kicked the front drivers it definitely had play, like it was loose but very slightly, any ideas

I have a 87 W124 here in OZ that won't turn the A/C compressor on. I have done the Test on the klima modual and it come up with a faulty kick down switch. I have un plugged the switch under the pedal and still get 12v at the pin on the modual, is there an other kick down switch or do I have a...
