rev

Hi all, I noticed this evening that when I start the car, the rev counter won't move untill about 5 to 20 seconds after the car has been started. It makes no difference if I run the car for a while, turn off, and then turn straight back on, it still takes its time... Any ideas what might cause...

Folks, Please help if you can. My car has been running well with a new MAF for a few weeks. The previous one appeared to fail gradually and the replacement I fitted brought the car back to its usual stunning performance. I filled up with diesel the other night and a few miles later the...

Hi all, I'm just new around here so sorry if this has been covered before, I have spent an hour reading around but can't find anything that resembles my problem. I bought my W203 last June from a independent dealer after it had been passed to them by a leasing company. The car previously...

Hi the rev counter in my old 250 SL has started making terrible noises above 2000rpm, so I think I need to take it out and give it a good lube - easier said than done! Anyone know how to remove the rev counter in a pagoda (1967 250sl). I have been able to get to the back of it, but you cant...

My father has a 1998 W202 C250TD and the Rev limiter/governer on the engine seems to have failed, he took it for an MOT and when doing the smoke test it was noticed that the engine was quite happy to rev way beyond the red line limit, hopefully no damage has been done. Does anyone know how it...

I've a late model W210 E320 CDI, and recently, there have been occasions where it won't kick-down or rev above 3000 rpm when I push down on the accelerator. Other times it behaves normally. I *think* this might be the AMS (MAF). Can anyone confirm this is likely to be the case? If so...

Hi guys the rev counter on my 1988 3000D has been playing up since last year, sometimes it works sometimes it dosn't. I believe I read on here somewhere that a box located on the inner wing in the engine compartment is the likely culprit, could someone in the know shed some light on this and...

Thinking that my Turbo has gone? I was driving yesterday when the car lost power and went into limp mode. Pulled over and turned the engine off and back on and it worked fine for about a mile before it happened again. The problem is getting worse and now the car starts but it splutters...

Hi guys I have had my 98 SL320 for 2 years, now, generlally happy. I've just noticed that on fairly brisk acceleration, the engine revs stop rising at about 4000rpm. I don't know how long its been this way, as below 4000rpm, it's fine, and I probably don't have cause to exceed that rev...

Hi my Rev rev counter bounces with my music when I turn it up :o . Do I need a power cap or bigger battery??

Hi Guys & Gals, first of all I hope you're all having a lovely day... ;) But here's the question; As you all know by now, I have a 1990 300ce 12 valve Auto. Now yesterday I was following a longish, slow line of traffic getting onto the motorway, so when the Onramp opened up to 2 lanes I...

I have a 190 2.5-16 Cosworth, with 140k. After driving it a bit harder than normal due to a petrol tratment addative-any excuse really, the Rev Counter needle was being worked a little more than normal. A couple of stuttering sweeps then it just fell onto the stop, reading '0'. Is this a...
