smokey

Hi I'm have an e220 2016 (facelift) It's a year old and covered 6k miles. I noticed while stationary that after about 5 minutes there seemed to be a fair bit of smoke coming from the exhaust while idling. Not faults on the dash and I've had several modern merc diesels in recent years...

Gutted, just took my car out a run and all off a sudden started pouring smoke out the back. It seems to be burning oil. Got home and wasn't as bad. Back end of the car is covered in oil and car is stinking. Anyone experienced this? It's under warranty so will be on the phone to MB tomorrow.

Since having a decat downpipe and remap my E63 is VERY smokey at idle (even when warm!) , is this normal for a decatted car ? From memory, my decatted GT-R wasnt smokey at idle ! Also , every time I start the car since being mapped I get a warning on the dash saying "no SOS available " Any...

Over the last few months my CLK has been getting more and more smokey. I mean really smokey. When I accelerated there was such a cloud of black smoke I couldn't see the car behind. Firstly I cleaned the EGR valve. OMG :eek: This job really upset the long haired General as I managed to...

So my lovely Viano 3.2 petrol - drives with no issues no lights etc but is always quiet smokey on start up. It's a white / grey smoke but just seems heavier than my other cars Is it a sign of something to worry about ???

Hello everyone, I am a new member (today) I have owned my lovely 2004 (facelift model or so I was told) silver C220 automatic diesel estate. I've owned it since March 2015. It was very smooth and powerful until a month ago, now it still starts first turn of the key no matter what the...

Hi Friends I have a CLK 320 and am desperately trying to locate the side repeater lens after a young lady kindly opened her car door onto mine. I've been to the main dealership, gave them my chassis number and they came up with part no. A 2108200921 Blinker Turn Signal. But its in clear...

I was thinking of cleaning the egr with a tin of the spray you can buy from halfords? Just wanted to check that firstly mines has an egr and secondly do I just undo the air intake at the air box and spray the cleaner into there? And hello noobie alert from Glasgow

Hi all, recently purchased a 2002 c220 cdi - its got 140k on but I know the last owner an they looked after it really well, I have a folder full of receipts for servicing, parts etc but I have noticed its had injectors replaced just before I got it, the problem I have got is, sometimes when...

Hi all. My beloved C250D 1995, which has done 92k miles has always run a little rough between 2 and 300rpm. It has recently got much worse and barely runs at those revs. It misfires irregularly very badly and poors smoke out. At idle and other revs and even on full accelaration, it behaves...

Folks, Could do with a bit of advice on what to check. Currently got my Dads E320 CDI (1999). Now it's a bit on the leggy side, but I've driven it quite a bit. Dad warned me that it's got a bit smokey. Now really that was somewhat of an understatement. My observations :- 1) Smoke on...

hello all, new to all this and looking for a bit of help. my c220 is drawing air from somewhere the only indication for this is when im driving and the turbo kicks in it also exhausts an awful lot of black smoke when turbo kicks in. some time it goes into limp mode i presume this is because the...

Hi I rencently had my 99 c200 serviced,she now burns oil and smokes after over run she only has 100k on the clock and never used oil before the "service".Any ideas before I rip the head. thanks

Yesterday in a fit of uncharacteristic madness I gave the car a good thrashing on the way to work. Unfortunately when the revs approached the red line, the car produced A LOT of black smoke. I mean so much so that you couldn't see anything in the rear view mirror (a touch embarrasing :( )...

have noticed when sitting in traffic my clk320 tends to emit far more white smoke than other cars dependant on weather conditions, firstly what exactly is it and secondly has anyone else noticed this on their cars? cheers s
