rough

First of all thanku to everyone who assisted me.... My car finally starts with a new key, however Mechanic states that it is running rough even when he revs it makes a poping noise and it doesnt accelrate. It has been parked for a month never had a problem like this before...He thinks its some...

Hello forum, First thanks to all for this great forum, I've just joined but have found it already very very helpful. I've recently purchased a w124 230E in less than stellar condition and have decided to sort some of the issues out myself. I'm not exactly the most gifted DIY mechanic but I...

Whenever my car is idling, there is a strong smell of petrol from the exhaust and it is quite noisy (a kind of tapping / clattering noise). When driving it, it runs OK, if a little slow when pulling off. It doesn't seem to be misfiring and sounds fairly smooth when you press the accelerator, and...

Chaps I have recently aquired a 1994 C280 I6 M104. It has a problem: Car starts fine, idles fine when cold. When engine starts to warm it goes lumpy, rough and if driven surges. It will rev freely and once above about 1000rpm is sweet but when accelerator pedal is released the revs drop...

JUst found this on my daily serach of ebay. A bit rough looking don't you think. I know MB made a few factory 190 cabriolets, but I don't think this was one of them! Just look at that whale tail! Ian

Does this have "us" down to a tee (or should I say tea)? England is an irritating and insular country full of overweight, binge-drinking, reality TV addicts, a new guide warns tourists. (Advertisement) But in the new Rough Guide to England, the English are also hailed as a nation of...

Hi, I recently bought a 2001 C180 and noticed a 'clonking' noise from the right front suspension. It is noticeable when the right front wheel drops into a hole in the road or on rough ground. Seems worse if braking at the same time. The car is under warranty, so brought it to the garage and...

As the weather is getting colder, my e220cdi has started to idle very rough in the mornings. At the same time it's blowing out loads of white smoke from the exhaust. Then 2+ minutes after start it all clears up, idle becomes smooth and no more smoke from the rear. Using the STAR diagnostic...

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...

After lots of searching, I fianlly bought a 1988 420 SEC in August. The car is in great condition, with 80k (verifiable) miles on the clock and full MBSH. When I bought the car it idled smoothly. However, I then had it serviced and since then it has developed an intermittent idle. I am...

I have a 99 E320, about a month ago it began to develop starting problems as in running rough and misfiring. Having read up on similar issues I have replaced the MAF, got it from EPC the replacement model not the genuine, this did not cure the problem. In the meantime one of the CATs began to...

I have recently recovered posession (after loaning to a friend) a CLK320 (w208). However, it hasn't exactly been looked after. The main problem however is that it doesn't seem to run right. When in neutral or park it seems almost fine (maybe very slightly lumpy) but as soon as any load is...

It seems that I'm not the only person who has experienced a very rough idle problem with my W124. I've recently bought a 1993 e220 estate. In Drive or Reverse, the revs fluctuate between 500 and 750, sometimes quite eratically, almost feeling like the thing is going to stall, other times not at...

hi i recently had my ECU replaced with a used one after it blew. everything was going on fine until about 1 month after the ECU was fitted from cold starts i'm getting a rough idle, and occassionally would stall once D is selected. if left for a few mins everything will be fine...

I had a full service last week, the car had a slight rough idle, I forgot to mention this when I left it in to main dealer for service, however I expected them to spot the fault and fix it, but the failed to detect it. The idle has got a lot worse over the past week and I am concerned about...

Hi guys, as youve probably heard me complaining over the past few days, its because im trying to get all the little problems out of the W202... When I started it this morning after the glow plug light went off it was a very rough idle and just seemed to have a hard turn over, after I drove it a...

On my way to work this morning my 1998 W208 2.3K Auto started to idle very roughly whilst queuing in traffic. The revs dropped to just over 500 rpm and the engine behaved as if it was about to stall ( lots of car shake ). Switching to neutral seemed to alleviate the problem by allowing the...

Engine very rough at idle and rather than moving slowley when selecting D surges or judders. Fine when revs increased and driving normally. Tries Wynns injector cleaner which did reduce the surginging for about a week - can anyone offer advice ? mileage is 55K Bought this 4 months ago with 39K...

Hi, My s500 idles perfect in drive/reverse but rough in neutral or park. I've changed dist caps, plugs, rotors and air filters. I've heard alot about the engine loom, could it be that? I have this car for a while but feel it has to go. Too many niggling problems. Many Thanks Martin.

hi guys my c250d a 1994 l plate with full historyhas never missed aa beat until recently it would turn and turn and eventually start once running was ok.. i then serviced it fuel filters etc... it starts on key now but seems to like misfire... any tips on how to check or what it could likely...
