Driving back from Devon today car lost power, not misfiring, no horrid noises but severe lack of power, wont run past 3000RPM and NO EML or any other warning lights on. when up to speed it runs along just fine you wouldn't know there was anything wring its only on opening the throttle that...

Hi Chaps, I have a C200 Estate 2001 w203 the engine is the m111 1998cc supercharged version. When I purchased the car last year my top speed was in excess of 135 mph and I could easily overtake another vehicle in 3 rd gear with ease. The car could really get up and go and was a magic car to...

Hoping you guys can help me here.... when i start the car everything is fine. Full power, full boost... no issues. If the car idles for a minute or so in traffic, then pull off with big drop in power... boost non existant. It will stay like this until engine stopped and restarted. As soon as i...

Hello everyone, my first post on here, although I have been reading for while and know there are some very knowledgable people on here! I really hope someone can help! I bought a 2005 MWB 311CDi Sprinter last year with 120K miles on the clock. I had it serviced by a garage I trust straight...

Any ideas. I have R129 1990 500SL. Always had a poor (ish) idle. But now nearly un-driveable when warmed up. Stutters and as though on few cylinders. Plugs changed (Correct non resistor champions from Green Plug company), Rotors, Dizzy caps, Dizzy insulation disks (ouch), HT Leads, New...

HI Chaps, I would like to thank everybody in this forum for their help and kindness. Unfortunately my car is quite slow , and smaller engine cars can overtake me easily on acceleration. last time i replaced my alternator , i found quite a bit of oil in air inlet pipe to the intercooler. does...

Hi Guys seen the sticky regarding this, but... yesterday i was on the slip road and decidied to floor it and there was a bang and the car slowed down. There's no MIL light on just really slow below 3k and nothing above there. It starts fine and sounds ok too just sooo sloooww. :dk: anyway I...

Hi Guys Just recently had my turbo changed on my 6 speed manual 2011 vito 116 132k miles (blue efficiency with stop start) Its somewhat cured the problem of lack of power but i still don't think the van its back to normal. For some reason now after a few minutes of being started my shift...

Hi everyone, Just recently got a MB CLK270 CDI 2003 and noticed that in every gear I'm in, it pushes well up to 3000rpm but then I put the foot down and power is gone. Is locked at 3000rpm. I have just done a full service, including changing gearbox oil, car feels smoother & piushing well, but...

I am planning to sell my E55 AMG for sale and it is only because I do not have the time to use it. It is a second car and I live outside the UK. When home, if it's raining (usually) the 4x4 is used and if it's sunny then the uncomfortable sports car is used. I really like this car and it is...

Ok long story short I bought MB around three months ago. The company Spire Cars Ltd in London had (What it seemed like) all the necessary paperwork. HPI Check, a print out of Car Service history*, car in perfect condition inside and outside, 53k mileage, top notch! Fell in love with it, bought...

Hi all, So before christmas I had a little bump when a car pulled out on me on a roundabout, no big deal the other party took responsibility and my insurers said they would fix it via their approved body shop. Last Thursday they took my car in for repair, courtesy car provided by fleet via...

Car is in limp home mode - no warnings on dash, there is a whoosing from behind the turbo so i've had the undertrays off and the joint below the cat is blowing. It looks like the clamp (A000 993 24 15) is pretty tight and i assume that after looking at images of the clamp the spring part is for...

In my 124, I switch on my side lights or head lights and my cluster just barely illuminates. I have checked that the dimmer is fully on and I have fitted all new bulbs to the cluster. What to do please?

Hi there I've had a problem for a while with my car, and seems like no dealers have managed to find out yet :( Every morning when I start it, it cranks for a few times before starting and idle is a bit high and takes time to go down to 900-1000 but then it moves slightly up and down. Veeery...

Net to the Nurburgring a couple of weeks ago and every lap had lack of power that would come and go. Couldn't go above 100mph up hill and didn't matter if I was in manual or sport mode with the gearbox. Car went to Merc yesterday and they have re calibrated the charge cooler pump. Permanent fix...

Hi all, I've got an 04 C320 sport coupe (petrol) that has developed a few issues since I ran very low on petrol (didn't quite run out). Engine now takes ~30 secs of continuous turning over to start - chugs until revs kick in then idles happily around 700rpm, low mpg ~19 on 40 mile drive...

Hi, I know it's been already mentioned before but too many solutions were also said which makes me confused. Some time ago my car started to be very slow, doesn't react on kick down like before so I took the car to local garage, we connect the car to the diagnostic tool and get code P0410...

Had a fault appear the other evening out of the blue. Started up as normal went to pull away slowly as the road where I park is very uneven, and felt something not right, the engine was popping etc as if it was running too weak, after about 30 seconds the engine warning light came on, and a...
