occasional

Just noticed tonight driving from work that every now and again when slowing to a crawl/stop there is a faint amount of brake squeel. Also (again only every now and again) when moving off from standstill using slight acceleration and then braking again (as you do in stop/start crawling...

ok, this has happened a couple of times in the last month (in the hot weather - ambient temp over 23C) and goes something like this..... From cold, we start the car and it is fine, firing first time every time, within a second or two. Take it out for a twenty/thirty mile run then leave it...

Hi guys - I am in need of your sage advice! apologies for the long intro to my problems... I recently bought an x reg w210 320 cdi estate. I got it cheap off a friend as the suspension needed fixing which is done. I have since had the following problems: 1) occasionally it goes into limp mode...

I'm not sure if this is the right area for this so if I've chosen wrongly perhaps a moderator would be kind enough to move it. This is my problem-- Twice now my C200 has refused to start. This morning was a case in point so I was late for work. I walk up to the car press the remote to unlock...

hey guys, basically when i have my windows down, i sometimes notice a quiet ticking noise from the engine bay, is this a common problem?, i recently had the car looked at by a merc specialist and he spotted no major problems apart from the possibility that my water pump was on its last legs...

Can any savy Merc mechanics Help? did a fairly long journey today London- Bournemouth & back. Noticed that if I brake or"overun" then accelerate strongly I see a quick puff of blue smoke out the back especially on a downhill gradient. Gentle throttle openings don't produce this effect...
