normal

Hi I'm a lot puzzled about the way my ventilation system is behaving and wonder if this makes sense to anyone. The car is a 1998/9 C200 W202 20k miles - fan dial on left, direction on the right with Rest and EC button in the middle. Air-con re-gassed by Indy but problem existed before. I...

I've recently bought a 1994 E320 cabrio Sportline. Nice car for sure but both doors need a good pull to get them to close - anything less and the mechanism doesn't engage. I can see no evidence of accident damage although I think it has probably had a high quality 100% respray at some time as...

A bit more advice please from all you helpful chaps. Just bought a rather good E320 cabrio Sportline. To me the accelerator pedal seems a bit like hard work to get wound up. It needs a really good prod to get things moving - much more than various other cars I've driven recently even a Honda...

My car has been doing this for a while, but it doesn't affect anything in the ride, its just slightly wierd. Sometimes it makes a loud "Bang" sound, and it sounds like its coming from the back of the car. This sound only happens when i'm shifting in 1st or 2nd, and sometimes when i try to engage...

....for a W203 C270 anyone??? Mine tends to sit at 70-75c during the winter maybe a little higher during the summer - is this a normal temperature?? Am used to my cars sitting around the 88-92c point. If this isn't normal - possible causes??? Thanks in advance for any advice! Tony

Not sure if this was raised but woudl be interested in knowing if anybody knows something concrete on hs subject. Yahoo answers gave me this, which seems plausible: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070930132118AA1BaOz Agree?

Hi guys. I posted a topic earlier regarding a humming sound i'm hearing and thinking it was something to do with the AC. But now im very sure its not the AC as i have had it off for the past day. Im hearing what can only be described as a fan which is turning on and off every now and again and...

Its a proper old skool one !! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mercedes-500-badge-amg-500-sec-bonnet-boot_W0QQitemZ220096162900QQcategoryZ10398QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I am going to try to have the seats on my CLK lowered (below the current lowest level) to give me a little more headroom. I guess this might even need the runners to be re-made or changed. Does anyone have any experience of doing this - or know anyone in Scotland or the North of England...

Today I went up to IBWs garage to change the glow plugs on my car. The job went smoothly enough, infact we were pleasantly surprised at how easily the plugs came out given some of the horror stories seen on this forum. However, when we removed the plug from number one cyliner (or the one at...

Hey everyone. A few times over the last while [but not always, as is typically the case with electronics], when selecting SERV on our Audio 50, the "clock" option is shaded grey, and when the clock soft touch button is pushed, nothing happens. (The other SERV soft buttons remain properly lit...

Well I am new to ME world, as you know, just got a 03 E500. I am just wondering if anyone knows if the E500 V8 is known for being noisy.... I think the E500 engine sounds a bit different compared to an old BM that I had, it sounds a bit louder and more metallic.... doesn't sound like a car...

I just put a deposit down on a 2001 CLK 55. The car is immaculate, has covered 54k miles with full dealer history and drives faultlessly. However, the only thing that perturbed me slightly was that, when slowly increasing engine revs, from idle, with the car stationary, there is a distinct...

I've done a quick Google search, and in a couple of minutes found the following height restrictions quoted for various places in the UK (metres): 1.82, 1.90, 1.95, 2.00, 2.10, 2.15, 2.20, 2.25, 2.45 Is there's any kind of standard? It seems if you own a taller than average vehicle you'd...

Yesterday I was stuck in traffic in Harrogate. I know that the front PTS sensors become active at and below about 5 mph if your in D, (the two middle little amber LEDS come on), but this other driver came along on my offside to turn right off the main road, quite close to my front offside...

I am considering getting a set of Bridgestone RE050A Run Flat tyres. The second option are Dunlop SP9000. There is a £195 difference; so I just want to know if people think it is worth it. Thanks.

Hi there, since my idle problem a few months ago, i've set myself to clean the throttle body every 4-6 months. This time when i took off the air inlet crossover which lead to the throttle body i've noticed some oil in the housing, is this normal.

Today when I called the local dealer, they've introduced a new scam of charging £28.50 for the use of a loan car. Of course, I also have to provide insurance and fuel. Is this unusal, or are all the dealers doing thing? I could fill a book with rants about (most) Merc dealers (but won't...

My W203 Tiptronic gear changes when in auto are not very smooth , its like a flat spot when changing yet MB say its normal . In fact if I had a fish bowl on my lap id get soaked with every change! Is this normal ?

I have had my ML 270 CDI from new - now 2 years 2 weeks. I am alarmed at the rate this vehicle eats brake discs. Is this normal? I had to replace all 4 discs after 14 months from new @17k miles ( mainly my wife driving and typically shorter runs ). This was noticed but pad warning came up...
