revs

Hi everyone, I recently bought a Merc Class A T Reg. I went through the usual checks and everything seemed to be ok. The next day though when i started the engine i noticed that it was reving between 0 -1000 rpm going up and down constantly for about 2 minutes and then was normal. I had a...

I took my Dad's 1997 W210 E230 for a spin the other day - far more cusioned expirence than my Sport model. I noticed a couple of times at the lights the rev's went down below 1000rpm to around 500rpm. and somtimes the engine sounded like its spluttering. It has 120k on the clock and had a...

My '03 ML Cdi has been playing up by not revving past 3000rpm and no kickdown etc (only intermittently). I have been in and out of the car quite a bit today, and it has without fail started to work properly about 1 or 2 mins after i start it. Once it clears and starts working, it does not fail...

Difficult to describe. On flat ground, reverse is ok. Car moves back normally with creep at low revs. Reversing up a slope, have to rev the engine up to 1500-2000rpm to get it to move at all - almost like a slipping clutch! Anyone any ideas before I go to a specialist? Sound serious, or...

Hi all I’m hoping one of you may be able to point me in the right direction with and engine problem I’m having. I have a 1999 W202 Auto C200 If I floor the accelerator I can make the engine play up. It will start fine, run fine, but if I floor it, I can make it go crazy…the engine wont...

not that good at explaining these things,but ive noticed me car,,220cdi.01 reg..130,000..miles.seems to be over reving and vibrating at traffic lights etc,noticed today on the bumber black stuff fro the exhaust,does it need tuning.still havent solved me 1570 fault coce,apparently its the boost...

I thought it was my imagination at first but it's becoming more noticable... When crawling along in traffic, engine reving anywhere from idle (650rpm) to 1000rpm there is a vibration coming through the car. I can also feel it when lifting off when slowing and the revs drop into the 650 - 1000rpm...

I went to see a 1995 E320 estate locally recently. At idle the revs would cycle up and down from 700 to about 1200 rpm over the space of about 2 seconds. The seller had been told it might be an air leak but it was an intermittent problem so I'm tempted to think it's not OVP, etc I've had a...

Ok this is a wierd one was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I have a 2.0l 190e and when in traffic the idle revs are at 2000rpm if I tap the accelorator they go back to normal and this only seems to happen in traffic when crawling along, when driving normally its fine when I stop, any...

Wonder if you guys can help. 1991 200E starts ok and revs up to 4000rpm no probs but then just chokes itself - it is almost impossible to drive. checked OVP, fuel pressure, air box and no luck. Any other ideas? Someone suggested a blocked cat. Also Steering Box leaking badly, whats easier...

Hi, I recently purchased a 2002 S 320 CDI from a local non franchised dealer. I love the car but am a little concerned about a vibration which feals like it comes from under the car when it is at low revs (between 1200 and 1600 revs). It usualy occurs when the car is at a stable speed and is...

I have a 2000 ml 270CDi... In neutral, for the MOT test, and also in kickdown, it maxes out @ 4000 RPM... Occasionally when flooring it from the lights, it will hit about 4800/4900 RPM before changing up into 2nd, but ONLY on the 1st/2nd change.... And very rarely... Was browsing the 2005...

I have a W211 E320 cdi estate that is still under warranty and covered some 40,000 miles. It has developed a juddering sensation at around 1200 revs, most noticable under gentle acceleration. I had a similar issue at around 1800 revs a few months back, which was cured on the second attempt with...

The revs when in idle initally surge from 500-1500rpm, and settle down after 30 seconds and will then only be between 500-700rpm. This is with a brand new MAS, prior to changing it the problem was not as bad, it did not surge so high initially but the problem was still present. I very much...

Wondering if anyone can shed a little light on a problem I'm having. Over the last couple of months I spent driving my 1988 260E around I noticed every now and then it would misfire when pulling away at low revs, but would then be fine for the rest of the rev range. This only happened every now...

About 9 months ago car would on occassion rev up to 5-7k revs when started, whether warm or cold, then drop back down to normal iddling revs. Had throttle linkages lubricated and this seemed to sort it. when this started happening again intermitently a few weeks ago i once again had the throttle...

Hello people, E230 1996 W210 AUTO model. The revs seem to have a mind of their own ?? Sometimes they are so low that the car stalls at traffic lights other times they are so high that as soon as you let go of the brake when in drive the car lunges forward !!! Can make for some really...

I drive a 220te w124 Estate 155,000km When my car has been driven for a while and is warm the revs seem to go up and down intermittently causing more fumes than usual to be produced from the exhaust when idle. This never occurs when the car is cold and is intermittent. Can any...

Was speaking to a friend few days ago and got on to the topic of what revs people change gear at, I had a friend that complained to me he used alot of petrol driving to work every day, he gave me a lift home one day and I noticed he took the car to 4000 revs every time he changed gear, to me...

It is slightly more comforting to see that MB cars are suffering the similar problems to their vans.Had my 108 cdi(2000)vito serviced 2 weeks ago then told that the head has to come off to replace the glow plugs(it could run into thousands). I have not had it done, but when i picked it up the...
