loss

Hi all, M102 W124 230CE, losing coolant (about 3-4 pints per week!) I have looked when hot, when cold but can see no obvious leak, reasonably new radiator, thermostat plus housing and expansion tank cap. Also when I go to top up, invariably there is still pressure in the system. I did a...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, this morning I was driving to work 20-25 mins of mixed roads and when I over took someone then was a loss of power! There then was a loss of power on the journey to work. It was not going over a certain amount or revs and in my opinion was slower, although I...

Hey all.. First post on here! Long story short... I had a heavily modified Cooper S that for one reason or another blew up on me a few weeks back... it's currently in the garage on axel stands... I'll be investigating it soon (prob a bent valve). Anyhow, picked up a C270 CDI from a mate...

Hello all Yesterday i went for a drive and noticed that from ~2500rpm under full throttle there is a lack of power this continues up to between ~4500-red line then i either jumps back to full acceleration or changes gear. from a standstill under full throttle this doesn't happen. The car is...

Hi my c250cdi has a manual gear box. when I ignore the gear change on my dash and leave it in certain gear for bit longer I loose the power boost. It stops telling me to change gears and when I put my foot down nothing happens but power picks up slowly. The thing is when I turn engine off then...

I was driving my W123 300d (non-ABS) on the A13 today and after about an hour of driving at 65+ mph, I experienced a sudden loss of brake assist/ boost. Here is all the information I have: The pedal depressed much further than usual repeatedly before any braking took place Pumping repeatedly...

Hi, i have recently bought a clk 220 cdi. I only noticed a problem today on the motorway. car drives fine and sometimes at 70mph it slightly losses power for 1 sec and then comes back. The power loss is just for 1 second then it is normal. the car will be having a full service today but any...

In the last couple of weeks I have totally lost confidence in my ML 300 when on roads that I would probably describe as 'greasy' What is happening is when it has rained recently on previously dry but 'shiny' Tarmac the front end has totally slid away at the front when turning, this has now...

Dear all, Pardon me for gate-crashing this enviable forum, but what else can I do given my circumstances. It's my first Mercedes Benz- have always wished I had one- and so I went for a 2001 ML270 cdi with 94,000 miles and full service history to back it up. Car had been stood for a couple of...

Hi the engine light has come on and also have loss of power to car when flooring it. Could this be a DPF issue, or should there be another warning light specifically for DPF. It's a 2005 c220 cdi coupe. (Not sure if it has a DPF) It's previously has a turbo hose replaced by previous owner...

Hi I have tyre pressure loss warning on my s211 e280 and was wondering what is required to add tyre pressure monitoring and will the latter enable the tyre pressures to be displayed? Thx Steel e

Hello all, I've had this rather weird thing happen to my car twice now. I've covered around 2K miles and everything seems fine with the car except for two incidents when there was a sudden loss of power. It feels like the throttle is being severely restricted, leading to very slow acceleration...

Got 100 yds from home last night and the engine management light came on plus loss of power. Pulled over, stopped, removed key, restarted ... no difference. This morning no engine light but still the loss of power ... very slow acceleration. Seems to drive better if you shift the gears manually...

Evening all My Wife's ML270 is acting up again :mad The Jeep drops into limp mode most times its driven . I find that when im driving easy and the revs are around 2k it happens, restarting it will restore power back again and it will most often stay ok until it is parked up for a few hours...

Hi All, Bought a second E300 but with problems, there is no power (basically limp mode), however when you restart the car and immediately floor it, you have the full power for around 5 to 10 seconds. Any ideas? Kind Regards, Dam

Hi all, I have had loss of power in my 211 when it hits 2000 too 3000 revs, have changed the power boost valve that's behind the driver head light. But the problem is still there. Only happens some times and does not seem to be getting worse. Have had a look for pipes that might have cracked...

Hi all My wifes ML is being a bit of a nightmare at the moment . Before christmas the Turbo went , so got this rebuilt . When frist started in the morning the engine smokes really bad and runs rough for about 30 sec , then settles down and idles fine .This has always happened and we...

How's this for a picky CLS. Travelling to and from Cornwall for the Christmas break. Power loss (will get it checked on STAR) on the A30 yet fine on the M5 -either way! Doesn't like being 110 miles from home?!?! My OBD says lamda sensor.....

My ML270 has the dreaded power loss issue where it won't rev passed 2k turn it off and restart and it's ok for a while. I've already changed the MAF as I couldn't find any mention in the service history of it being replaced but it's still doing it. Following (good) advice I am going to scan it...

Hello All I have an intermittent problem with brakes on my W123. I have to depress the pedal almost down to the floor sometimes before pumping pedal again to recover pressure. Is this just air in the hydraulic system – or could it be something more serious? I will ask the garage to check...
