starter

Hi, We currently run a 2007 Sprinter 311 CDi and it has an intermittent fault where it won't start. It's usually when the engine is warm and as soon as you turn the key all is normal except the Glow plug light doesn't come on and the starter won't turn the engine over. I've tried all of the keys...

Just wanted to say thanks again for great service from TM Motors. Invited me down last minute (3.30pm) sourced a starter motor, kindly fitted an auto box selector bush, spotted a gearbox leak from 'box electrical plug, plug replaced, topped up transmission fluids . . . Friendly family crew...

Guys Been reading most of the net regarding starter motor problems ie. earth straps, motor rebuild etc. I read about lightly greasing the flywheel via an access panel in the bell housing - now, should I try this or just get a new starter and be done with it ?! Thanks ! Whitey

Hi All I am a new member and a new Benz owner I need a new starter motor for my 2000 CLK 200 I see in eurocarparts.com they want £320 for a reconditioned one.... Cant I get a new one anywhere else and does this price makes sense for a used motor ? Appreciate your input guys

Hi all. New poster, long time reader. ( Excellent forum by the way I've learnt a lot from you guys. );) My problem is this.... a few weeks ago my W202 C180 started making the most awful noise when trying to start, Solenoid clicking rapidly and also a metallic "Clanging " but it would start...

Hi, wonder if anyone can help. I have glow plug issues and was planning to take the manifold off over Christmas and do what's necessary, up until last Saturday the car would start after a bit of cranking and smoke and after 10 secs or so all well. However, on Monday night after the car had been...

Hi, I do hope someone can help with this. I have a 1999 230 clk cab. The car was not used for about 2-3 months and is parked in my driveway, when I went to use it last week it would not start. Had the battery checked and charged and it is OK. When I put the key in ignition all dash lights and...

Hi My 1998 C250TD w202 has developed the weirdest fault. When I start the car, the rear offside passanger window opens about an inch! Its only been happening for about 2 weeks, I cant think of anything I`ve done that would cause it. I have found a blown fuse in the boot (number 7, 5A) which...

I'm gonna make it short. Haven't started car for about a month. and when i turn the key to "start" point, it wont crank the starter. i have tried to run a cable from the battery to the starter, that worked. so i guess I'm wondering about a diagram from the ignition key to the starter...

hopefully someone can help me out, does the M116 have a spacer between the starter and bellhousing or do I just have the wrong starter motor? This is the last hurdle to starting up the V8 W115.

My problem is my e320 cdi 2000 reg will not turn over. I insert the key, turn to position 1 all ok, turn to position 2 and all looks ok but the glow plug light does not illuminate although all other lights do, then finally turn to start it up and silence, nothing. I have read many posts on...

Hi New to the forum & this is my first post. Just bought a 1996 E230 auto petrol saloon for a Top Gear style cheap car challenge. Car was fine but neither of the remote fobs (single button) worked so to lock & unlock I had to put the key in the drivers door. This was fine until in my wisdom I...

Just had the AA out for what I thought was a dead battery as the engine would not turn over after sitting on the drive since Friday. I didn't bother trying to charge or jump start the car as the battery on the CL600 is a beast and would not dare mess about with electrics on the car. The mechanic...
