smoke

Hi, Can anyone confirm from the video if the exhaust gases look normal. I personally cannot tell if it is steam or smoke. Hoping its just condensation from when the exhaust cooled the last time. No smell to it whatsoever. I just noticed this on a few recent cold start-ups. Only had the car...

Hello everyone, I am writing for Lithuania to your forum, because I do not really know what to do. 1)About couple months ago my MB w203 C220 CDI started dropping through exhaust a lot of black smokes, mostly of them on 700-3500Rpm's(kickdown). Maybe it could be an EGR valve or maybe something...

Hi, I have a 2005 E350 CDI W211 with around 140K on the clock. The car generally drives fine but I've had an ongoing issue with the car putting out white smoke after a long idle or drive in slow moving stop/start traffic. Once the car is driven hard the smoke quickly disappears, only to come...

Having never had a drag of a cigarette, cigar or pipe in my entire life I'm curious to see the percentage of people that have. I grew up in a house full of smoke as did my 3 sisters. My Mum & Dad both smoked heavily. What is interesting is that neither me, my 3 sisters, our spouses or any of...

my wife who uses our C63 as a daily said she could smell a burning smell when pulling up after a drive. I thought it was the brakes but yesterday on a 100mile trip when we pulled up at our destination smoke came out of the heater vents and from under the passenger side of the bonnet! Apart...

Morning chaps, Took my CLK across to Italy and on the way to Genoa there are some super winding roads in the hills. Slipped the car into manual change mode and gave it some through the tunnels. As I came out I realised there was loads of billowing white/grey smoke coming out of the exhaust. I...

Just pulled up ready to reverse on drive when car felt like it was stuttering or something. I know injector 2 is leaking (admittedly for a while as it was helicoiled to get new i injector seal in) but would that be the cause of whatever the hell this new problem is? Been contemplating getting...

Hi there guys the last time I posted was of a DPF problem that is now sorted. My current problem with my car is that it Smokes white while idling for more than 2-3 minutes (it smokes all the time when in traffic jams). As I wait the smoke builds up but only slowly comes out of the exhaust...

Hi everyone, I am wondering if someone had a similar problem. With no previous signs my 2001 ML270 suddenly cuts off on the highway. (It had no signs of any problems before). A few attempts starting the engine it starts, but had no power at all, I managed to get to safe place, but it heavily...

Just been across to Italy and whilst the car performed 100% carried 5 plus roof box and returned 38mpg I did wonder if something was amiss. Joining a Swiss autoroute I had to accelerate a little quicker than normal on looking at the rear view mirror the scene was obscured by dark grey smoke. The...

Hello i have one problem with my mercedes. When the car is left to idle for 10-15 mins it starts to emit large amounts of white/blue smoke, this clears once the car has been driven for a while."

Dear all, Pardon me for gate-crashing this enviable forum, but what else can I do given my circumstances. It's my first Mercedes Benz- have always wished I had one- and so I went for a 2001 ML270 cdi with 94,000 miles and full service history to back it up. Car had been stood for a couple of...
