slow

2001, petrol, w210, 105,000 kilometers Car was serviced at 95K with new plugs, oil, filters, throttle body cleaned etc. It is driving perfectly but every now and then it is slow to start. It does not take several turns of the key but it does turn over for an extra long time before actually...

Hi, I have a 2004 W211. The driver side mirror is proving very slow in movement. Moreover it seems its range of movement is somewhat limited. Compared to the passenger side mirror which is normal. Any advice? Is this covered under warranty? I have one year warranty left..

My E class has been getting slower and slower so having read the various MAS/MAF posted I decided to get a new one from the Mercedes dealer. Fitted it last weekend and the car was better but still not as it should be. If I floor the accelarator it kicks down but will then change up at about...

When I turn my PC on, I get the XP screen straight away, as normal, then I get a black screen for about 5-6 mins before the cursor appears for about a minute, then the background pic appears, then about another 2 mins later the icons appear on the desktop. So it is taking ages to boot up, but...

Since having the W215 in for locating an electrical drain, which they did, in the drivers seat controller, my Navigation isn't working correctly. I had to recalibrate it as all the stored destinations and information about my tyre size was gone but it still doesn't work. It can see...

I had a spin in one today and it felt really slow, in general are they? As a yard stick it felt about as fast as the 95 w124 220 that I also drove recently. Simon

Hi All Been a while since I posted on this site - have upgraded to 55 amg since my last visit! My question is regarding the Tiptronic in 'M' mode using the paddles (or buttons depending on what you want to call it). When I change gear in my car it takes what seems like quite some time...

Hi, I recently bought a 98 C250 td sport. I foolishly bought it without really having test drove one before and now I am paying the price. The problem is that the car is painfully sluggish. I took it to a non-MB garage but the diagnostics say that it there everything is fine. I timed 0-60. It...

My 07 E320CDI is slower to start than my previous pre facelift 53 reg model. Is it normal for the V6 to take longer to start than the straight 6. It only takes a few seconds, but the previous model was instantaneous. :confused: (the V6 is much smoother and nicer engine though :) ) Thanks Harvey

An interesting question posed on Jalopnik. Is it "more fun" to drive a slow car fast or to drive a fast car slowly? Think Fiat Panda 1100 down a quiet twisty B road :) or an SL 55 AMG in heavy traffic on the M25. :( Is it a tough call or obvious? :confused:

I have a 1996 240 automatic that has been wonderfully reliable. A series of events happened last week that may be unrelated. I filled up from a different filling station. The next day the car drove but later failed to start and I needed a jump start (with much effort) and since then it now...

not bad really and they let me watch . I hate people watching me when I work but I didnt want him to scratch my alloys. he did a good job took him 45 mins

Hi all I have very slow throttle resonce from my W202 C220. My day to day honda feels better to drive because its easy on the foot. Surely a merc should be the same?

Hi guys, just bought a 98 c250 td. Being silly I got it without ever driving one of these before so I took the guys word for it that the way it drives is how its meant to be. Pulling away with my foot planted to the floor it takes off very slowly and then only from about 3k rpm it starts to...

Recently bought a '93 E250 multivalve, which I'm very happy with. However now i've had it a month I've noticed the gear change on the autobox is slow, mainly under hard acceleration. It seems to change out of gear, into neutral for a second or so, then change into the new gear. I've changed the...

As some of you will know I have just got a 300E-24 as a donor and I want the car running 100% before I start taking it apart, one of the things is reverse is very slow:( I have to rev it alot before it moves, but even then it struggles, I just as well say reverse does not work, any Ideas?? I...

Hi all... I am on 5.6 Mbps broadband , and its really quick ....... until ...... About a week ago, it became quite slow, if i open a page i get a white screen for several seconds before the page displays.... Its almost like there is a bottleneck and the info is 'queueing up' to get...
