loss

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...

Hi guys, I hope you're doing fine. Since a few weeks I've been having issue with the check engine light turned on and loss of power, if I turn the car off and wait 10-20 minutes the check engine light goes again, but after a few minutes/hours it appears again and it loses power again. I only...

Hi guys, Was just wondering if any of you could help me out? I was driving down the motorway yesterday when I loss power it was as if the throttle wasn't working. The car would change gear but the kickdown wasn't working either. The car would build up speed but this was slow. The car...

Hello Everyone, I am new to this site as I have just bought a 2002 ML 270 CDI and the coolant light come on so I topped up with water yesterday and after a long drive the coolant light had come back on and I haven't driven it since and would really like some advice. The temp gauge is on...

Hi Odd one this. I have a 1995 C200 Auto and the gearbox is losing fluid, but I cant understand where. The underside is dry and the pipes from the gearbox to the radiator are also dry, so where is the fluid going. Any thoughts?

I have a 2007 W204 220CDI auto with 170k miles on the clock. It has spent most of its life on motororway journeys, both in England and Europe. It has now developed what I can best describe as a slight "misfire". I realise that deisels can't misfire, but it best describes the feeling it gives, a...

Have noticed this over the last few days, and was hoping for a bit of guidance. Basically the car has lost power, and is in semi limp mode (won't rev over 2k, but does accelerate) and no kickdown. There is a distinct whistle when accelerating, which has become more distinct over the last...

Hey guys, been a while since I was last here. The previous post was about the gears holding in 2nd up to 3rd for a couple of seconds before changing up. That problem sorted itself out a few days after I posted. I now have a new problem. This morning, I was in a rush to get out to meet...

Engine will not rev beyond 2800 rpm, lack of power and nil turbo boost - no warning lights I took the car to MB dealership and the technicians report is:- Manifold linkage broken at inlet port shut off motor. Requires new manifold and IPSO All that for a cool fifteen hundred quid -...

Hi All, mine is not a new problem as I see many of you world wide have experienced the same as me. My wife's C200 CDi loses power and seems in limp mode with no engine warning light showing, but this does not happen from cold, but after 20 miles . What I know is this: There is a blow...

I have the above which sometimes won't Rev very high and has no go in it. Rather like the turbo is not working. Other times it drives just fine ?? No dash lights up. No horrible smoke. Any ideas? ?

With 128,000 miles my car has been running exceptionally well recently. But, for the past 5 days it has been losing boost. What I mean is, it starts normally and accelerates like the proverbial scalded cat, but about 3 minutes in...no boost. It isn't going into limp home mode, it does kick...

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum. I have recently purchased a Mercedes C180 Kompressor. Over the last week I have had to top up the coolant three times. Most of my journeys are less than 40mls per day. I have had it pressure tested and all was fine, however there are no signs of...

Just wanted to let other members with the same Mercedes to look out for water loss.This was a follow up to my waterpump replacement that took a long time,over 5 weeks.Well all the coolant was put in and after some time i went out to check it to find the level in the expansion tank had...

Hi Guys, Only had my precious s320 a week however I encountered a problem on Friday with the yellow engine light coming on so through recommendations from this site I went to stephen at knightswood service Centre Limited in Glasgow. Anyway they plugged it into a laptop ( I assume STAR) and...

Driving home tonight from work and had odd loss of power foot to the floor and it barely picked up speed above 70mph 2000RPM. No cruise control on and in Drive (not accidentally knocked it down a gear). it felt like the engine was only responding to the first inch of acceleration depression...

Hi All, first post in a while. My 2004 ML270 has decided to lose the ability (most of the time) to go beyond 2500rpm and that causes a loss of power, especially when trying to overtake. I think I already know the answer to my question here, but thought I'd ask anyway. I have it booked in to...

Had my car serviced a month ago at MB, with an A0 service (incl. air filters) + gearbox oil change as the car is at 55.000 km/34000 miles. Haven't driven the car since except this week, for a 450 km round trip. On the way down, the car was perfectly normal, back up (4 days later), the first...

Hello everyone I am new to this forum, but I have so many question I don't even know where to start. Well I bought an ML 270 Cdi for my missus and soon as I drove off the next day the coolant light came on with loss of power,and a strange louder hum, what sounds like a hole on the exhaust...
