We get to the lights and i thought "Ok i'm going to...

    Diesel smoke cloud - normal?

    I can cruise around in my E220 CDI all day without any noticeable exhaust smoke. I don't even see any when the engine is cold-started. :) Very occasionally, I will put my foot down and then I can see a diesel smoke cloud in my rear view mirror. However, if I repeat the manoeuvre then there is...

    Hello Everyone I have a question regarding the engine temp on my SClass, I am not sure whether its a problem or not. My run to work is around 25 miles most of it on the motorway.

    Heating - fan - aircon behaviour, is this 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...

    Door closure on 1994 E320 cabrio - what is normal?

    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...

    E320 - Stiff accelerator pedal - is it normal?

    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...

    Is this normal?

    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...

    Seat Lowering - beyond normal

    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...

    Is this normal?

    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...

    URGENT - CLK 55 / E55 engine vibration normal??

    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...

    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...
