stalling

I have a Merc c200 estate she has never had anything go wrong..... This morning I got up and started her and she stalled, I started her again and she stalled. I drove her to the local shop and she stalled at every junction. I went on to the supermarket and nearly caused a major pile up at...

I have a E230 as my regular use car which I have had for 3 years, unfortunately it keeps stalling for no apparant reason. There is no coughing or jerking it just dies! I can be sat at the lights or toddling along at 30 mph it makes no difference. I have had her in to my local mechanic and she...

As the title really! My w203 c220 cdi has been cutting out for no apparent reason - usually on cold mornings. I have owned the car since last April, it is an 03 plate with about 50,000 and a full MB history. It first did it just after I got it and then it was fine during the summer...

OK, started this and then I dont know where the post went, so I will try again. About 2-3 months ago got 98 slk 230 with 57k. Had problem with gearbox (water in oil) resulting in full rebuild inc torque converter and new rad by gear torque of Bolton and the first attempt wasnt right as they...

My c180 elagance 1996 auto has recently started stalling at low speeds, twice whilst stuck in a traffic jam and recently whilst turning in a car park. I've also noticed that when i start up the revs are quite irattic.

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...

190e auto ok when cold, but when warm it stalls when i try to turn to full lock when in drive or reverse, even if i turn up idle speed HELP !!!!!!!! KEN

After my 1990 300TE-24 has been driven for a while (i.e warmed up) if I put it into reverse and go on to anything near full lock it stalls. The idling seems to be erratic at the time, dropping to 500rpm or there abouts. I can manage if I left foot brake and keep my right foot on the gas. This...

I have a 1994 SL500 (not sure if thats a W129 or R129) and I am experiencing a strange problem where the vehicle simply dies after about an hour into a journey. Once left for a couple of minutes, it will usually fire up again and behave fine for another couple of miles before repeating the act...

If I drive away from cold, very ocaasionally my SL stalls when coming to a stop, say at a junction or roundabout (withing 1st half mile of starting off). It seems to happen when I have applied plenty of electrical loading (i.e. lights, air con, heater etc). The idle seems smooth at about...

My w210 E240 has recently on a few occasions just died while in traffic - its a bit emabrassing as it won't restart for a few minutes. Have thought it may be poor fuel and have refilled with Shell, and added a fuel injector cleaner. But could it be something else?? - ££££ Cheers Paul

A friend of mine asked if any of you guys have got any ideas what the problem may be. Stalling 230CE I have just acquired a 230CE and it drives and handles like a dream, though I seem to have an unusual problem whilst driving. Sometimes when I'm driving I seem to lose drive, I'll put my...

First I drive a 1996 C230K (W202). The first problem I’m having is when I go to unlock the car both red and green lights flash on the rear view mirror and to reset it I have to disconnect the battery terminal for a couple of seconds then reconnect. The immobilizer will then work fine, but I...

I have a 1984 280 sel auto. The car runs OK generally, but when stopping in traffic, or at traffic lights, the car is stalling. Once stalled, it is taking up to 40 minutes to successfully start the engine again. Does anybody have any idea what may cause this? I am based in Sheffield, UK...

I have a Mercedes E230 (petrol) - 1988. It starts ok, and drives ok for a few seconds but then it loses power, as if there is no compression. Then it stalls, stops and cuts the engine out. It will restart but then the same thing happens. any clues. I have had mechanics says it's simply a...

My 1993 C220 Sport Auto (Petrol) has started stalling when you stop at road junctions, etc. The car seems to run fine for first few minutes from cold (& on the open road even when hot (although it "pinks" under load & going uphill). The idle also becomes erratic fluctuating between 500-1500rpm...

Last night, I was driving along in my w202 when it tried to go into 2nd (I think, its an auto) and it started losing power and I had to pull over, it then stalled - somthing I thought was impossible on an auto! Ive had the car 3 months and its never happend, I asked my brother who owned it...
