start

Hi, I recently had one glow plug failure on my 2007 E280 cdi but decided to change all of them(6), I ordered the replacements from Mercedes. All has been well until a couple of weeks ago, it now will not start in the morning without having to turn over a few times after the glow plug light has...

Whilst I have the C63 and E63 together I am hoping to take the opportunity of a few comparison videos. First off is the exhaust cold start for anyone who's interested! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfUx_DNK8Kw A little more finesse is needed with the camera.

Hi all I'm new to mercedes and purchased a 2005 cls500 3 weeks ago , however when I was having the bumper sprayed the you sent me a message saying it would not start , then later it started , last weekend I went out in it all OK but when I stopped for fuel it wouldn't start , it was stuck on...

Hi I own an 18 year old 200k which I don't use much and like to keep on trickle charge in a barn in the Winter. Rather than remove the A/C filter and battery cover I normally apply the charger crock clips to a decent ground and the positive to the 'jump start' terminal inside the red flip top...

Well picked up my new car yesterday and drove 30 odd mile before stopping at services for fuel. Did about another 30 mile and the engine cut out on the motorway. Managed to coast to the hard shoulder and engine was cranking but not starting. Got recovered the last 60 odd mile late last night and...

Sat having a cuppa in my dressing gown and slippers this morning after waving the wife of to work for the day when all of a sudden she re appears at the back door. CAR WONT START!!! Off I go, turn the key, nothing. Out with the jump leads, still nothing. Hmm strange. It was then I...

Thought I'd give Race Start a go a couple of days ago with a dryish private road available. Got to say it felt messy, bogged down, wheel spin etc. Maybe it has fixed parameters that don't work so well with remapped cars? Anyone else tried it? Jules

When starting in the morning the glow plug light goes off as normal but it takes an age, maybe 3/4 full key cycles to start if it's very cold outside. Once the car has warmed up a bit it will start as normal all day long.I put a diagnostic reader on it tonight and got 10 errors including one...

Hi Guys, Took my car C63s, to the dealer last week for a transmission software upgrade, door handle replaced and the stop start never seeming to activate, A on dash always yellow. Picked up Thursday and told all fixed. The stop start worked on the way home. Today I drove 40 miles, all the...

I know this can be done as MB HQ have confirmed it but my local dealer is struggling. Does anybody know how its changed, so I can point the stealer in the right direction? Many thanks.

Having been away with work for three weeks, my better half promised but 'forgot' to give my 126 a weekly run. No harm done I thought as she purred into life at the first turn of the key and I wafted along a dual carriageway at a regal 50 mph to pick up a few treats from Halfords. Once back in...

Hi Got a c250 td that is really struggling to start in cold temperatures, that bad I have to hook my van up to batteries with jump leads to gain enough power to start Never had this issue untill now, bloody car refused to start last night, took me 20minutes to start it today. And it won't...

In my CLS 320 (W219) the gear lever has a "Engine Start Stop" button, which when pressed does absolutely nothing. How is this feature supposed to work? Thanks in advance.

Hi there Bit of a long shot as this is really weird. Was checking the car yesterday as it's been using more fuel than usual and sounding abit ruff, found a few oil leeks and then noticed that the oil breather pipe coming off the intake-turbo pipe was blowing smoke into the system. So took it...

Hi Folks, Well I've got the dreaded Start Error, I've tried most things like checking the connections to the ECU and WSP all seems fine. I am at the point of sending off the ECU to have the immobiliser removed, and was just wondering if anyone had done this, and if they had can they...

Hi guys My Battery an my CLK 270 D died overnight. I did a jump start off another vehicle and it started for a few minutes, when i started to drive ff the car died. I tried to jump again but it just kept turning over. I then bought and fitted a new battery however it wont start. It just...

With the cold mornings here, I normally let my car run for 5 to 10 mins in the morning before driving. I've noticed my engine sounds a bit tappety (not sure if this is normal on these cars). Engine oil level is fine and I regularly check it. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, I have a 2016 a-class A180d. The USB port in the armrest does not always work straightaway. I have tried to use CarPlay with my iPhone and a USB drive to listen to music and it can be a while before it activates what's plugged in to it and sometimes not at all. The phone charges so...

Good morning guys. I just got MY14 W222 S Class, equipped with Keyless Go ( or so I thought) however, I have to lock/unlock the car using the keyfob, as it won't lock/unlock otherwise. Is there such thing as Keyless Start only, rather than Keyless Go on the S Class?

Hi I have a 2003 cdi 270 with 87k on the clock is had the car for a few months now and it's had its problems like driving in limb mode but I've gone through the forum and cured the problems but I'm a bit stuck on the most recent one!! The thing won't start, it won't even turn over!! One of the...
