normal

Folks On my C55 (Stock headlights). I have noticed that I now have one "normal" looking bulb and one "dim"looking bulb. These are Xenon bulbs. I replaced the bulbs but have the same problem. Any suggestions what would be the most likely part to require replacement?

Hi guys Recently replaced the water pump fun belt and fun clutch and wooshing sound after ive done that can you please help me out if this isnt normal I'll try to upload a video clip to let you hear it Thanks

I have a 2011 w204 c class. I'm really happy with it but the handling is very odd and I was hoping other owners could tell me if it's normal. I do a lot of motorway driving and I find the car is constantly pulling in one direction or the other. When the road cambers or if there is any crown...

62 reg c220 sport plus saloon When my washer fluid top up light shows, nothing on the speedo display will show, just the warning, I can't switch via the steering wheel up / down button to see mpg etc. Really annoying until washer bottle topped up then all back to normal. Am I missing...

When I say low, about 70,000 (it's a 98 with only 3 owners and a more or less a fsh), it also drove very good ie no noticeable clunks, knocks ect ect, really very smooth. To be honest, the only thing putting me off (and it's because I've been used to diesels for the last 3-4 years) is the higher...

Hi I have owned my SLK 350 (2005 and 55k miles) foraround three months. I have noticed that for the past few weeks the first gear change from cold is VERY clunky and rough. Outside temp is still 8-10 deg, so not that cold really. When warm all seems much better, but I still wouldnt call...

Just done my winter check up and noticed i had used about a quarter of a litre of oil in about two thousand miles. Car is w202 2.8 v6 with 150 k on the clock. cheers, tony. PS, engine has no oil leaks and is bone dry.

Hi all, I have a 2000/X E220CDI (W210) - the temperature gauge measures between 40 and 120 degrees (if I remember rightly!) - I was just wondering what 'normal' operating temperature should be, as the car seems to run cool? If I'm driving along at motorway speeds on a cold day with the heating...

Hi all, New to this and my first MB. I have just bought a c220 cdi diesel elegance estate. I understand this is also known as a W203. The year is late 2003. Thank you guys for the discount at Eurocarparts, just got sorted with usual bits for an oil and filter change. This is a one previous...

Over the past year I have to replace the rear hatch struts (280euro inc fitting) and apparently this is rare ... also the previous owner damaged the locking rear seat catch .. I thought it would be a cable but no.. it cost 570euro to fit & supply the new Merc part in the seat... . I complained...

I hope this isn't a really stupid question...... I own a 2001 C180 Sport Coupe with 65k mileage. When I moved to Germany 2 years ago, the bodywork was immaculate. After one winter here, rust has sprung up all over the wheel arches and in other small areas. I know the winters are harder here...

Hi, My NTG2 Comand sat nav really, really hates multi-storey car parks. I have to park in one every day and when I drive out, all sats have been lost (normally 5/6/7) and the onboard sensors have been totally confused by driving round and round in a spiral up and then down. So when I drive...

Hi can someone please help. I've just got myself a 2002 270 cdi ml. All is good with it. It runs well and doesn't use to much diesel until I leave it on idle for 10 min or so. Sometimes when on idle it uses almost 1/4 of a tank in 20 min or so. It's clearly got a problem but I don't know what it...

My recently acquired 2007 V6 320cdi fitted with a DPF has on two occasions omitted clouds of blue/white smoke. First time I immediately stopped it & the smoke smelt acidic/toxic, not the smell of fuel or oil. Restarted it & it was fine. Its covered 1400kms since the first smoke secession &...

Hello, I am new to the MB forum and I am also new to Mercedes-Benz after being a BMW guy. This is my first post:) I've got a c class coupe which is now 2 weeks old, but I have spotted something unusual. My car has the intelligent lighting pack but I have noticed that when I looked...

Hi, as per subject line. Took my serpentine belt off my r230 sl 350 (M112) to investigate a revs related whining noise. Discovered my P steering fluid was low so topped up and seems to have reduced it significantly. Thought I'd also check the tensioner /idler/alternator and water pump by...

I've had quite a few cars with cruise control but never a Mercedes, so am new to this. If I'm cruising with the cruise control set to say 70mph and push the lever forward to cancel it, the car slows down normaly. But if I push the lever down a few times to reset the speed to 50mph it feels as...

As title suggests is it normal for smoke to come from the oil seperator? It's the 1st time I've run the car with the engine covers off so never noticed it before.
