poor

Hi everyone, Ever since I've had my '92 190E 2.6 it's had a bit of an annoying problem (or set of problems), which now seems to be getting worse. Firstly, it never tends to start very easily. It always does go, but often has to churn for a bit longer than you'd expect, particularly when cold...

Went into the parts department at mercedes Stockport today and was vey disappointed with the service, or lack of. 15 minutes I was waiting, ringing the bell whilst a member of the parts team was sat in the office facing me less than 8 foot away. He could definitely see me and was not on a...

I've just upgraded from my CLK320 to a 55 AMG and am having a problem with the blowers on the new car. There is only a tiny amount of air coming out of the vents even with the fan set on maximum. To put it in perspective, my 320 (no climate control but has air con) puts out a huge amount more...

Hello there! I have a problem with my new car and was hoping for some help here. I am new to these forums but this is my second mercedes (out of 4 cars total, used to have a 190D) I have recently bought a 2006 C220 CDi Auto, and its returning some ghastly mpg (had a passat tdi before this...

Hi I'm new to the group, I have fitted a Sony XAV-601BT to replace the Audio 20BT. I am having issues with the radio reception, I have used the standard ISO leads but I'm not sure if this feeds the antenna amplifier. The aerial adapter is plugged into the white dual coax socked (it's where I...

HI My fan belt snapped on my C270 CDI recently, I have replaced it, the engine did overheat slightly but I was told by the rescue mechanic that the head gasket hadnt gone. The problem i have is the car only runs at full acceleration sometimes. and sometimes when I put my foot down it is...

I've bought a new radio (Pioneer deh-4500bt) to replace the old audio 10 in my 210, and there is a problem with the AM signal. The signal seems to be very weak and there is interference. But if i swap back to the old audio 10, the AM reception is fine. The FM signal is fine in both. Any...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and require some advice if possible. I have done much searching on Google for my problem but still not getting anywhere. My CLK430 is 2001, its had limited service history and has poor acceleration. It's done just under 120,000 miles. I have had the car for...

Hi, Having a bit of trouble with my 2007 sprinter 311cdi. When I'm coming to a stop the engine sounds really rough right up until I stop completely then it will just idle normally. Struggling to find anyone locally who knows what it is and don't want to pay merc prices to get them to diagnose...

I've had a few people on the other end of the line tell me that my voice quality isn't good when I'm using the phone whilst driving. I don't recall getting complaints until recently. It appears I can be heard but that it's "echoey"/in the bathroom like. Does the microphone deteriorate...

Hi, I have recently purchased a 2003 W220 Facelift and am slowly working my way through the niggles. I have established that I need a new GPS / phone aerial and am looking into why the radio signal is poor. Any suggestions on where to start? Thank you in advance Shane

Mercedes SLK230 Kompressor automatic R170 2000 (Spanish LHD, they don't rust in Spain at all ;) ) 95% of trips are fine. The performance of this car is fantastic with very satisfying acceleration but sometimes I get this... Pull up at a junction, pull foot off brake, car rolls as expected...

OK, I've read all the threads I can find, here and elsewhere, regarding poor FM reception. I have an early 05 facelift W209 (UK RHD), the FM reception isn't as good as I remember it to have been a month ago, I'm getting dropouts and the stations I listen to can't be received in areas where...

Hi everyone, I have a 2005 W203 C220 CDI and when looking at the trip computer i am only getting 33-36mpg , My daily driving consists of 25 miles of motorway and 25 miles of single carriageway. On the motorway i dont go about 75-80 and on the carriage way i do 60. Temperature gauge ranges...

Hi everyone just wanted to ask if anyone else has had this problem ?i ordered aftermarket aventgarde style grill off eBay costing £45 ,for my w202 sport and the fittment is totally rubbish ,none of the holes line up ,clips missing ,and when placed in the bonnet there is a gap at the top !i...

Hi, I have noticed that my car appears to misfire at low revs and if I blip the throttle but ONLY after I have been driving it hard for a while. I was erring towards the MAP sensor but my Indy says that wouldnt cause a misfire more likely a stall. However I thought it mightt cause...

I was cleaning my Polar White w204 at the weekend and i've noticed for a while now that the finish of the paintwork inside the wheel arches is pretty shocking. Its on the flat surfaces of the bumpers which face into the arch and these vary from some with no paint at all on them, to some...

As the title suggest my MB ownership has been far from perfect during the last months . Its a W204 C250 CDI Auto (67k, 2010, FSH, Amg on 18"). This is the most money I have ever spent on a car and to be frank I am not blown away, its has not given me the additional refinement which is...

Mrs had to go to Standtead Airport to pick up her friend today. I had to do with her Ferrari (aka Fiat 500). Feedback; "the steering is so stiff, my back is sore because I felt every hump, we could not hear each other on the motorway because its so loud, it tramlines, people kept starring at and...

had my 2003 W163 ML for about a month and has recently become really temperamental when starting from cold sometimes it will fire and die immediately then needs about 30 seconds of constant churning or strangely it will start immediately if i park it facing forward down a slope. I am new to...
