revs

Hi I'm pretty rubbish at mechanical stuff and I also am new to automatic transmissions. I have just noticed that if I'm a bit nifty with the accelerator that my rev counter will soar into the red level. I had thought there would be some sort of limiter to stop this from happening and was a...

Hi Just purchased a C180 (W203 model), and I knew I had to replace the front discs when I bought it, I also have replaced the rear shocks as they were worn. I have noticed that at around 80mph or any other speed where the engine is at the same RPM range I have a moaning or droaning noise which...

Hi people, my partner has got a 2005 Mercedes C200 Compressor coupe and for the first time this weekend I drove the car and I noticed that the car does not rev past 4000 RPM is this normal on these cars? I can’t imagine it is as the rev counter goes to 7000 RPM could someone let me know if this...

Evening All, I recently replaced all 4 tyres on my 124 E220 estate with Premium Contact II tyres. Within a few days, the ABS light has come on and the rev counter runs up to 3000rpm in N & P and the acceleration/gear change has become erratic. I'm hoping this is just an unhappy coincidence and...

Hi My W124 at idle has a rather soothing rythmic reving pattern. About every 15 - 20 seconds the revs rise very slightly. This is hardly registered on the rev counter but does show on the oil pressure gauge. I have no idea if this normal? I have cleaned the throttle body (very little muck...

Hi, just bought a 1993 E220 W124, and in the last week it has been giving me a bit of a head ache. it would for no reason start shuddering, as if its not firing on one cylinder, but if the car is switched of and restarted, it runs normal. Revs also pick up to 1500 rpm. have changed the spark...

With the recent blips of nice weather to enjoy I un-wrapped the old girl (98) R129 SL32O and took it out to clear her lungs but when it was time to give it the boot it didn't want to change smoothly at high revs. Tootling along.. just fine but at full throttle I got a back fire, bit of a delay...

I had a suspicion that my 6yr old W211 E240 engine speed was fluctuating very slightly from time to time. I could hear a very slight change in engine note. On a long gentle 40mph incline yterday I spotted it happening on the rev counter - the needle gently fluctuated (wobble?) a couple of times...

Hi there, I have this merc sinse Xmas. Bought it from another memeber here. I had gearbox oil replaced by authorised (merc / audi / vw / opel) dealer here in Ireland. When I start the engine in the morning, usually I have it running for a couple of minutes in winter maybe 5 minutes. During the...

I had the high pressure fuel pump replaced 4 months ago on my 2003 auto estate. Ever since the above work the engine has cut out when you try and accelerate hard and rev higher than 3,500 revs in anything but first gear or neutral. When it cuts the EPC warning light comes on. If I ease the...

Hi all - Happy New Year - It's been a while! Now between company cars, but Mrs B has another SLK, this time auto. Within a mile, the revs start to hunt.... Could be...? Electronics induced? Gearbox induced? Settles down after a further mile.... Appreciate your thoughts.

Obviously not a Mercedes, but I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas what the problem could be. I have a 2002 Astravan 1.7 DTi that as soon as you hit 2,500 revs, it sounds really loud and well, like a tractor is the best way I can describe it:dk: I can only think that it is when the turbo...

Hi All, Just wondering if any of you would be able to help me, My dad has got a 90/91 300D 4Sp auto, could anyone with the same car please tell me, if you are crusing at 70, is the speedo and rev counter at the same angle? My dad asked me this about my car, and its not the same, my rev...

I have just bought my first Mercedes Benz and am new to the forum. I have got a 1 family owned 1992 E class 230, which is in really good condition and has low mileage. When I bought the car a few weeks ago it started up fine and ran perfect. Then the ABS light started to come on and the revs...
