slow

Hi all, I have been having a problem with idling, at any engine temp, when I come to a stop the revs drop to 600 to 700 and it stall on occasion. If I put the car in neutral the revs lift and it avoids the stall. I'm selling the car and a helpful prospective buyer located a connection on...

Hello everyone.I have a 51 plate s320cdi and the throttle response is ridiculously slow.If i pull off and dump the throttle there is a 2-3 second pause then the car takes off leaving a large cloud of black smoke in its trail.There are no engine management lights,no limp mode or gearbox...

Hi Guys, I have a couple of issues, possibly both at my end. Firstly, is anyone else finding the forum slow? It can take more than a minute to get into some threads. Secondly, I have recently found that if I want to upload images directly to a website where it's possible (such as...

The windscreen wiper of my SL has begun working incredibly slowly. Irrespective of what speed you set the stalk to, the wiper takes apx 30secs to complete a single wipe action. Any ideas on what's to blame, or advice on what I can check? Or am I best to assume that it's the wiper motor? If...

Hi, Now, I may be imagining this as its been a long time since I last had an automatic but I picked up my first Merc last week and Im feeling like its pretty slow to pull away from stop. its when Im at a junction/roundabout/lights, it feels a wee bit laggy to begin with, even when I switch...

If you go on the internet with a dongle (or iphone) and its slow Change your Browser to Opera (or similar) It uses less resources and is quicker

My W168 (A160) suffers from slow cranking speed on first start-up from cold, after this cranking speed is no problem. The battery is a one year old genuine MB 62 Ah (correct for the car), recharged using a Ctek charger 5 days ago. Car has been used once since. Using my trusty multi-meter...

Sometimes when I'm driving slow I can hear some creaky noise front left side of my car. Any ideas what it can be?

Yesterday I noticed this noise as I break and turn left into corners, also sometime when breaking heavily in a straight line coming from the front passenger side suspension area. Took it to the nearest garage which was a National (not the best I know). The guy got it up on the ramp, there was no...

We are having a frustrating problem with our laptop (HP Pavilion running Windows 7) when using it via a wireless connection. The connection speed using a broadband checker is reporting around 0.2 Mb/s while other wireless devices on the same network are showing speeds of around 6Mb/s, the...

S320 cdi W220 2001 This morning I noticed the kick down on my s320 cdi was not working. It has no immediate response when you put your foot down. It does pick up speed but at a very slow pace. Its not in limp mode as it will go above 70. After some research it looks like the MAF is the...

There's been a very slow headgasket leak on my '99 C230k for a few years now. It's never given me any trouble besides me having to top off the coolant tank every 6-7 months or so. 2 mechanics have diagnosed it but each have different views on what to do. One of them said that it's not a huge...

I have just bought my C250 CDi Blue Effciency AMG Sport and am a little concerened. Although the dealer has assured me that my 2009/09 car is definatly a C250! So whats the issue i hear you say?!?! Well, when i went to insure the car it came up as a 220cdi B.E AMG Sport. Also, on the log book...

Hi My trusty Dell Dimension Win XP SP3 runs so slowly it is becoming useless. It uses up max CPU on nearly every program you start and I can't see why. I have run Malaware Bytes - No faults found CCleaner - all good I have also run MS Security essentials - No fault found. De-fragged the disc...

My W202 C230k starts fine from cold but the idle is slightly jumpy and the car feels a bit hesitant until warm. When I do a warm start it can take a few seconds to start up, but it never fails to start. Could this be the MAF? Also when I fill the car up completely, there is a strong smell of...

My 1991 W124 estate has an annoying problem, I have to fill it with petrol REALLY slowly or the fuel bubbles up and makes the petrol pump cut out. I can only fill at a rate of about 1 litre every 10 seconds, so a 50l fill takes about 8 minutes. BTW, the car came with an invoice for a new fuel...

Take a quiet moment to absorb this little gem. UIoO_N8bSP0?hd=1

On my 2008 S204 the tailgate wiper has only wash and intermittent settings. In the filthy rain yesterday it was almost useless as it only wipes about once every 10 seconds. Thankfully the wing mirrors are excellent, otherwise I would have had almost no rear visibility most of the time! Is...
