slow

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...

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...

Slow Folding Wing Mirror Fix The driver’s side folding mirror on the facelift W210 cranked in at a painfully slow rate, seemingly if at all sometimes - so investigation was needed. Hardened grease was most certainly the cause due to age petrified grease in the folding mirror drive gearbox...

Since ECP moved servers I find the site woefully slow with multiple timeouts and that is on a 100MB connection! Doesnt matter which browser I use. Is it just me or are others finding this too?

How about the V63, then? Väth supercharges the Mercedes-Benz C63 Black to 756 ludicrous horsepower :eek: :eek: :D :D

I know the parking sensors are a "parking aid" and the driver is responsible for observing obstructions blah blah blah... On my car the sensors seem to react slowly. I can pull in to a parking space come to full stop then a second or 2 later the LED's and buzzer respond. Is that normal on...

Hi everyone, I would like to get some opinions from you about the problem I have had now on my W203 C200K M111 engine as I was stuck on a traffic jam yesterday evening about 45 minutes due to an accident. I have noticed that my engine sound weird and when I looked at the engine temperature on...

Hi all, The car: w124 e220 coupe, 1996. I have just had new ball joints, idler arm bushes and tie rods put in. Its made a big difference to the ride quality and absorbs the potholes alot better now. However, since i've had them done, i've noticed a kind of rubbing/grinding/creaking noise...

Friday, 6.30pm...my 40meg Infinity broadband is currently running at 0.05meg. Is anyone else's running slow too? The BT help page says the problem is ongoing but can't find anything else on the net about it?

I thought I had a slow puncture on my front nearside wheel. Its been losing 5 or 6 psi over a week. Had a chance to take it to get looked at yesterday. After removing the wheel and dipping in the big water bath it turns out the seal was not airtight. So the tyre guy took the tyre off with...

Hi Over the past 12 months my 2001 E200k auto has developed a problem whereby it sometimes pulls away very slowly from a standing start. Both the engine speed and rolling speed are restricted for a few seconds then it is normal again. This only happens froma standing start and is now getting...

Jumped into the car this morning ready to begin the journey to work After a few miles I arrive at the roundabout see a gap which requires a little bit of a boost from the kompressor to get there safely and nothing happened, no whine or whirring sound just a quiet flat acceleration? Took the...

The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular day, a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants...

hi, i ve got a vito 108 cdi y reg 2001 model. The problem is it went into limp mode (i think). It does not rev past 3000revs, but it was still ok to drive. 70 mph max. Then a couple of weeks after that the revving slowed down and the van accelerates very very slowly. The engine sounds fine still...

Just noticed that my car rpm from 4000 rpm limiter is slow to come back to idle. Is that the norm or is there possibly something sticking that can be fixed. Please note the car sat for 4.5 years not moving:eek: Idle is now spot on. W124 E200 Coupe Ta Sinky:thumb:
