power

i was driving my E250cdi home after having full 'B' service from a local merc specialist. Car running sweet etc, but decided for the first time to put it in sport mode and flaw it a little to see what she can do. Anyway heard a kinda bang and car loss power. Was nearly at home. Checked the road...

I recently replaced the balance shaft and all that goes with it at the local dealer. The car is running fine after this apart from 2 times during quite hard acceleration, then for a *very* brief moment (it felt like someone pressed a switch and then almost immediately turned it on again). If it...

Just curious, try to use shell fuel as much as possible, v-power and member of drivers club where my choice is money off vouchers. Not received any since September last year. Was supposed to get some this month and again nothing. Anyone else been missing them or have mine gone missing in my...

So this has happened to me several times (approx 6) in the last two months. I am driving on the motorway between 40-70 and floor the car, all of a sudden it goes for it and then immediately cuts with a huge jerk. I take my foot of and then try again and it accelerates albeit a little bit...

hi guys can someone tell me if its normal to top up power steering fluid periodically theres no sign of leaks

Hi, I have a very strange issue with my 2013 A220 CDI AMG Sport with dual clutch auto transmission that my local MB dealership is having trouble diagnosing. Has anyone here resolved or had the same issue? Symptoms: At a completely random point during a journey, the drive mode is...

Hi. Anyone know the ampage of the power to the centre console phone cradle in a w204? I want to use it to drive a power socket fitted into the rear blanking plate. A lot cheaper than 60 or 70 quid for the whole ashtray unit that I would never use.

Deliberated over which Dashcam to get for a while and eventually decided the Blackvue looks best, so picked one up last week. I'm going to install it this weekend, and the power magic pro just piggy back's on to a couple of fuses in the box. I've found an installation guide online for a new C...

Hi, Need to top up my power steering fliud, and see that it cost £16.50 plus the dreaded VAT for a 1 litre bottle from merc dealers. Seems a bit pricey. Can I buy any other power steering fluid from mainstream places such as eurocarparts? Car is a E250cdi 2009. Cheers for any advice

Hi, It was leaking badly. Took it apart to see if it was worth getting a refurb kit and the spindle and inside case was so badly scored that it was obviously beyond repairing. I guess I can't complain for 23 years of great service. New one costs £720+VAT and they don't do an exchange...

Hi folks, Anybody here experience low power output from their 6.2 motors and then managed to restore it somehow? My car is a 2010 E63 with kleemann cams and eurocharged v5 custom tune but only makes 488hp. The guys at eurocharged did their best but I guess that's all the motor can output...

Hi (SL500/R230 2004) Just wondered if anyone had wired a extra power supply for a snooper and/or camera. I am looking at adding the snopper to the dashboard and possibly locating the camera under (attached to) the rear view mirror. (Put a small hole and threaded bar to mirror case and camera...

Hello guys, I got 2 problems i'd really appriciate so help with. 1. The passenger door stopped working completely so I checked the wirings and the RED power cable was completely off, I fixed the cable good, and checked the rest of the cables and everything seemed to be good. Then I checked so...

Hi I have a turbo car and would like a bit more grunting sound from the exoust, the A250 pipes looks like they have three baffles, if I was to remove the baffle from the box before the exoust splits into the two exit pipes, would I loose any power. Asperated engines need a bit of back presure...

Well after a long huint I bought a 2012 Vito 122 Sport-X, and Im loving it bar this problem that just arised at the weekend past. After a week of ownership and a few hundred miles, last weekend I got the very obvious power steering pump noise when its low on fluid. Luckily i wasnt far from a...

Is it ok to use these, can the pressure damage anything? Thanks.....

Hi all, thank you for this forum. I bought a sprinter 2002, 311 cdi on Friday and I'm having problems already. I drove it home, no problems, 70 - 80mph all way, stopped in halfords for wiper blade, started her up and first thing I noticed was glow light stayed on for about two mins. Won't...

Afternoon all. So I am in the process of sorting out a couple of Raspberry PIs to act as 1) Bluetooth audio receiver (my car doesn't have Bluetooth audio fitted) and 2) An in-car media centre - wifi based so the kids can stream movies from the PI to their iPads on long journeys. I have a...
