smell

Hi All. I have recently bought a 2005 (55) S211 E320 CDi estate. It struggles to start up first thing in the morning, our previous S210 E320 had no such problems. The heater lamp comes on for about 3-5 seconds then I turn the key and it cranks over for about 20 seconds or more. When it fires it...

I've recently purchased this car but I've just noticed a slight oil smell within the car when I've got the fan/heater on. Can anyone tell me what could be causing this ? Thanks.

Hello all, My friend was following behind me one day and said when I was accelerating hard there was quite a noticeable smell of fuel or oil (he wasn't entirely sure what the smell was). I have smelt it occasionally in the cabin. There's no smoke and the car appears to be running fine (not...

Hi, I seem to have this strong smell in my car. Its not a bad smell but sort of old car smell. I know that my car is 10 years old but would like to refresh it and ideally get rid of it. Interior is spotless and don't see a reason for full interior wash unless its the only way. Any...

Hi Guys, I'm getting an occasional smell of burnt oil through the airvents. It seems to be just after the car warms up. Wondering if this is a common problem, and if anybody can give me any guidance? Thanks in advance. DB

My 320 CDI has developed a smell not unlike a catalytic converter bad egg whiff, generally after a longish run. Seems like it comes through the air vents because if I switch the climate control off it goes away. And no I've not eaten sprout and egg curry! I suspect diesel is hitting the cat...

I keep getting this funny smell when engines running on my cls55 smells like fart and it can get embarrassing when people in the car I removed the 4 cats and the smell went and now its back:( what could it be? Thanks Lev

Hi All I'm new to posting here but have used you all as a resource since buying my 2003 C220 Estate in June. We've had a problem with Fuel Delivery and my mechanic changed all the fuel lines and checked the pumps etc. No improvement. Eventually he recommended taking it to Prestige in...

Hi, I have a 2009 C63 with PP and a Eurocharged remap. Today I noticed a strange smell from the engine. Like water or oil is being burnt. Temps are all fine and cant seem to see anything in the engine bay. Car has done 25000 miles. It happens when the car is warm and no warning signs...

Can anyone help, I'm getting a faint oily smell in the cabin of my ml270. It isn't present all the time only every now and then and the car doesn't have any oil leaks that I can see. Has anybody got any idea what it could be?

Hey Guys, I have a very small problem with my W202. I say small..... I very rarely notice it, it's more the kids when they are sat in the back. When I put petrol in the car, ( doesn't matter if it's a full tank or a fivers worth ), there is a smell of petrol inside the car for about two or three...

Hi, I've just got back from camping and my generator leaked petrol in the boot. Not a huge amount as I had a blanket underneath it but it smells pretty bad now. Any suggestions on how to remove the smell? Cheers.

Greetings all, my good lady has a W169 A150. We bought it from a dealer and we think the previous owner ferried dogs in it. All is well until the air con is switched on and then there is a smell akin to damp dog coming through the vents. She has had the car for two years and I usually dose the...

Had a hybrid estate for one week now. It is pretty difficult to get it to run on the electric motor without the engine cutting in but today my trip finished down a very quiet lane so was able to drive slowly and keep it on electric for the last 1/3 mile. When I stopped there was a very...
