slight

Just got my car back from service and was told there was a slight oil leak. My local mechanic who does my MOT told me the same thing 2 weeks ago so that isn't in question. Have been told its a seal on an engine oil pan. They say the cleaned it off and left the engine running and it didn't come...

Hi Folks, Just received the car back from mechanics after it had a transmission oil and filter change. Now I am not entirely sure whether the following used to occur of whether I noticed it since I was conscious of the work that had been carried out. When I shift from park to reverse I feel...

Hi folks My w208 is off to the garage tomorrow to have the tracking sorted, and I've asked them to take a look at a potential problem with the steering while it's there. Just to help me better understand what to expect, I wondered if anyone had encountered a similar problem. The issue...

Hi All I recently aquired a 2011 E250 saloon, everything seems fine with the car but I have noticed when the steering is at full lock, e.g. when parking, I can hear a slight buzzing noise, I dont recall hearing this on other cars, can other W212 owners confirm they also get this noise? If...

I've got a slight rubbing issue when there's a lot of weight in the car going over bigger bumps, I've had a black series body kit put on my CLK, the steel arches cut and rolled up and the fiberglass arches over the top, with wheel spacers pushing the wheels out past where the old arches sat, the...

As title ..... I have a w210 240 v6 which has a slight mis-fire on idle and very low revs, I have cleaned the maf sensor with zero result (so .. maybe a faulty maf??) next up will be plugs and plug lead testing along with finding any potential air leaks. What I have also noticed is the gear...

Hi, i have recently bought a clk 220 cdi. I only noticed a problem today on the motorway. car drives fine and sometimes at 70mph it slightly losses power for 1 sec and then comes back. The power loss is just for 1 second then it is normal. the car will be having a full service today but any...

Hi all, Trying to work out if it's worth approaching a dealer or MB direct with this as the car is in its 7th year. Service history is a mix of MB and indi. Not sure if this is stonechip damage (ie a get out of jail card for MB) on the wheel arch or something else, ie a poorly galvanised...

Hi, I am looking for 56 - 09 E320CDI saloon with features such as heated leather, bi-xenon, memory seats, through loading etc. One car I came across has MB service history and not too high mileage - just over 100k. MOT history contains a number of waarying signs of bad ownership such as...

Picked up my CLS from Merc on the 2nd Jan, it's the 320cdi with 51k miles. I can feel a slight rumble/knocking over rough roads and over small potholes. Nothing too bad but ultimately it's not how a CLS should ride. I did mention it on test drive though the roads were good so it didn't show up...

I have a slight oil leak coming from the left rear of my engine. It appears to be from the area of the large round plastic valve (?) with two tubes connected to it. The following image of a Chrysler OM642 engine shows the part I mean...

I have a 2007 W204 220CDI auto with 170k miles on the clock. It has spent most of its life on motororway journeys, both in England and Europe. It has now developed what I can best describe as a slight "misfire". I realise that deisels can't misfire, but it best describes the feeling it gives, a...

just got car back from Eurocharged due to vibration issues at around 70MPH, so decided to take the faster, longer route home from Harrow; M40. well the new engine mount has worked and vibration gone. Decided to fluctuate speed from around 70 MPH to XXX MPH; being 7.30 am roads were still quiet...

Hi all, I've noticed a slight vibration when the car (W124 320) is idling in Park. It isn't constant and seems to be more apparent when the engine is hot. Whilst not severe it is noticeable inside the car and the doors can be seen to shake slightly when open. Revs do not fluctuate. The...

Hi all, I discovered a slight oil leak today and after removing the under tray I located where the leak is coming from but not sure how to fix this and what this pipe actually is. I tried removing the pipe in order to clean it thoroughly but I couldn't I believe you need a special tool in order...

Hi All, I've noticed the last couple of times I've started the car a slight rattle on start up. On each occasion, it has happened from cold start and only when the engine hasn't "caught" cleanly on all cylinders. The chain and tensioner where changed 8k miles ago and I've checked the...

Notice today that I can hear a slight rattle when I rev the car. Being the car hypochondriac that I am, worried as I've only had the car a few months.. Any ideas what I should ask the mechanics to check first? Could it be just an exhaust bracket? Car has done just under 69k and I read from...

Hi All, after owning over 70 cars since I started driving over 20 years ago I have finally bought my 1st Merc, a 2003 E270 Cdi with just 2 owners, full history and only 55k. The car drives really well however I have noticed that when I accelerate slowly, slowly enough that the auto box...
