odd

gearbox odd feeling? UPDATE Hello, Don't know how to call this then here is the best I can explain. This as been going on for awhile. Not more nor less. Same. Sometimes when I push the pedal at the near stop but going up on speed again, there is a feeling like like the car just got in gear...

Hello, I left the car for nearly a week on the scottish cold weather and when I started all was OK, but after about 8 mile, all warm up, when I pressed on the pedal, the rev went up to 4000 and the car nearly stayed at the same speed, like if the clutch wasn't gripping. I parked it, started...

1991 300CE-24 5-Speed Auto Just driven from Dordogne to UK and back. Auto box now behaving oddly. Box changes from 2nd to 3rd as usual, excellent acceleration, everything. BUT, it now seems to change properly into 4th and then, after about one second, change into 5th. In fact, it stays in 4th...

A while back there was thread on Thermotronic upgrading using all of the necessary parts. In the process of poking around my car I discovered two things. - Heated hose prewire = which consists of an unused thermistor coupling connector at the wash bottle. - Pollution sensor prewire =...

Car made a very odd noise today, I had just driven 50 odd miles at around 50-70mph (Harrogate to Clitheroe), and was now in a 30 zone and looking for my customers site.. Whilst slowing towards a roundabout (no braking, just foot off the gas)there was a very odd noise which seemed to come from...

Anyone had anything like this before? Noticed a faint rattle over the past couple days. Rattle is not road/engine speed dependent, just a constant faint "crackle" (for want of a better description) that you can't really pin-point from inside the car. As you slow down the noise remains the same...

OK I acquired a BB awhile ago, a 7130g - anyway, I 'downloaded' a tune to use when callers ring me, to use rather than the standard "tones". However, it's nowhere to be seen on the BB device, so I am stuck with the standard tones - no problem, only £2.50 wasted!! Rather excitingly, the...

Right, I've had a read of previous threads and the MAS sensor keeps popping up and is looking like a favourite, however my problems seemed to go away... so.... On the motorway, 65mph, in need of some brisk accelleration, queeze pedal, gearbox goes to 4th, foot then goes further to the switch...

bit of a shot in the dark, but someone may have some ideas... I get an odd clicking type sound when the car is idling, usually after being run for a while and not usually from cold. The sound disappears once the accelerator is even slightly pressed. Any ideas? Car is 97 c280

Noticed this more frequently lately. Most mornings when pulling away from home my gear changes sort of surge? As I accelerate the revs increase more than usual and the car sort of jolts. Have been back to the dealer 3 times and they say they can find nothing wrong. Anyone any ideas? Paul.

Odd. Our A150 (new shape W169) has just developed an intermittent noise. Sounds a bit like a pump groaning, or something. It does not change with rpm, nor braking, nor with speed, it occurs when moving and at rest. Once it occurs, it will continue until the ignition is turned off. If the car...

My dealer/factory fit alarm on my 1994 124 estate does something weird. When you arm it,the courtesy light comes on, and when you disarm it, it stays off. :confused: Sounds like a dip switch or setting is screwy or something. :crazy: Anyone tried to work on these alarms and know how to...

Well its a bit weird, so I'll explain. The car is a 1997 W210 E300TD saloon with 165k Basically, twice now (since I bought the car in November), after full acceleration and then backing off immediately, I've felt the car lurching - as if its braking unevenly. This has been completely...

On the drive home this evening I was following a BMW 535d Sport, I'm guessing a similar spec to Mambo's new beast ;), but noticed something quite odd. The BMW has a twin exit exhaust, but the righthand pipe has a valve in it that opens and closes (I'm guessing) as you go on or off the...

Strange thing happened yesterday. Therese asked me to pick her up from the library and on my way down I spotted in my mirror a very nice pale blue E Class coupe with a private plate. I had the top down and it pulled alongside at Odsal roundabout and the 3 aisan guys in the coupe started...

Best way I can describe it! When going round roundabouts,pulling away from a standing start, or even crawling in a queue, the car sort of pauses then lurches forward. It's as if there is a dead spot on the throttle. It is most notable on roundabouts and damn irritating. Annoying part is...

Hi, I have a 1986 300TE with 169k miles, which is beginning to run a bit erratic. She starts from cold just about fine and pulls away ok, however after a minute or so she will loose most power – touch the throttle and nothing happens (no increase in revs) then power will come back on again...

Hi there, I had the brake discs and pads replaced on my 1999 E300 Turbo-D a few months back. A few weeks after they were replaced I thought I occasionaly heard this funny clicking/tapping noise when reversing but thought nothing of it. Anyway, the other day I was reversing in an underground...

bit of a strange one.... I've had the car (1988 260E) for a couple of weeks now and noticed my wing mirrors are 2 different shapes :confused: The drivers one is longer than it is tall, whilst the passenger one is taller than it is long...... Is this a special MB feature or just a previous...
