I have a 1990 500SL, 93000 on the clock. There is a slight misfire at tickover and when you try to rev quickly the engine hesitates before revving up. Also, at times there is no throttle response- nothing. I can "cure" this by switching off and on again or sometimes holding the throttle to the...

On two separate occasions in the last month my E280 CDI (V6) has hesitated and then lost power when I have kicked down asking for some rapid acceleration. On both occasions the engine was fairly cold. The car then went into limp mode BUT with no warning light on the dash. After pulling over and...

Driving home from work this evening I put the foot down on a country road, and.... virtually nothing.:mad: The speedometer crept up really slowly. Tried it again on a hill and I couldn't get above 50. Came home, switched off engine, and went for another short drive. Everything back to normal...

When I start my 98' C200 up first thing on a morning, the pedal is hard and near the floor, only after revving the engine and pumping the brake will I get a decent feel, the flexi hoses are new and there are no leaks, the master cylinder upto the max mark too. I'm guessing it's a problem with...

My 1992 124 series E230 is losing a worrying amount of coolant. It drips steadily from a pipe which runs down the front of the engine, it appears to originate from the body of the water pump. What is wrong? Does this mean a new water pump? Please advise.

Coolant loss from my 1992 124 series E230 has reached serious levels. Water drips steadily from a pipe running down the front of the engine, which appears to come from the main body of the water pump. What's wrong? Am I in for a new water pump? Please advise.

My 94 SL500 is below 30k miles and is just a weekend runabout. In the past two weeks I have experienced two sudden losses of power having driven for about 4 miles from a cold start. Upon starting everything is 100% and there is no indication that there is anything wrong. But then suddenly it...
