Hi folks, 1998 UK E300 TD What is the boost threshold on these engines? When should they begin to build boost? What engine speed should the torque converter stall at? I've picked up a car which behaves perfectly well at autobahn speeds (90 mph) but falls off-boost at 70 mph and is...

A couple of days after buying a C class 2.1 C220 CDI Blue EFFICIENCY Auto 2010 with 138k miles on the clock I noticed it wasn't idling correctly when standing still, it felt like the car was about to stall and then the engine management light came on. Then about 5 days later the engine light...

Hi, I have been an avid reader of posts on this forum for a year or so now and have been able to resolve various minor issues with my beloved W124 E220 (M111.960) - thanks to all the members out there. Time for my first post to the board... The car has been immensely reliable over the years...

Dear all I wonder if you can help. My R129 SL500 has a recurring problem. After a long drive and having been in heavy traffic, it will surge then nearly stall when slowing to a stop. Appears to be when the gearbox down changes from 2nd to 1st (it's a 98 car with 5-sp electronically controlled...

Hi all - I bought a very attractive Automatic 1998 C240 a few weeks ago - i've used it every day since. I do like it but it has a couple of what i think are minor issues. It cuts out in traffic and/or very slow speeds. It has a quite jerky gear change ... It has came out of gear twice (i...

So the car (2001 CLK 320 Covertible Automatic) is running fine 90% of the time. But... a couple of times now, I have stopped at traffic lights or junctions and whilst stationary the refs still rock solid and stable at around 500rpm. Then, when I go to pull off, instead of the usual normal...

Hi, I've just bought a 1998 (S) A140 for the wife. It has 77k miles and seems in great condition. It ran fine for the first week. I fitted a new air filter as the existing one was quite dirty.. Now this week every so often it keeps spluttering / stalling. I replaced the spark plugs last...

Chaps I have recently aquired a 1994 C280 I6 M104. It has a problem: Car starts fine, idles fine when cold. When engine starts to warm it goes lumpy, rough and if driven surges. It will rev freely and once above about 1000rpm is sweet but when accelerator pedal is released the revs drop...
