A chap who works for me was telling me yesterday he has a mysterious starting problem on his '02 E320 diesel which I thought I'd post on here to see if anybody has any ideas. When cold it starts first time, every time, but in warmer weather, like now, it still starts ok when cold but as soon...

Hi My SL500 had been stood doing nothing for a year. Put new batteries on it and jobs a goodun, started up. Fast forward a week, and it won't start. Everything sounds like it should, turn the key and get a single crank noise then nothing. I disconnected the batteries today and...

This morning it's refusing to start properly. It's cranking then very lazily starting at low revs, like it's about to cut out. Then seems to be ok. Any ideas anybody? Sent from my Apple product using Crapatalk

Hi, so I picked up my new to me C63 coupe a month ago and thought I'd share my experiences. I previously had a BMW Z4MC, an amazing drivers car and I could talk about its virtues all day long but to compare the two is apples and oranges. Instead I'm lucky enough to have extensive use of a MY2008...

Hi guys I'm new here and have been lurking in the shadows for a while reading a lot of your posts. So just a quick introduction then I have a little problem I'm hoping you may be able to help out with. I'm 27 from leeds and have just bought my 3rd Mercedes and tee driving a few sweede's...

Hi all, all the warning light come on all sounds fine, and the engine electric fan comes on at full belt. the starter is dead when turning the key, the K40 relay, is there a starter circuit in there? also cannot hear the fuel pump, have wiggled the gearshift around as I thought it could be the...

Hi all, I love my Merc, it's my first and I'm completely smitten. However it's gotten reluctant to start, the colder it the more reluctant to start the car is. For the previous 4-5 weeks the glow-plug light has been staying on for about a minute or so, but was starting beautifully. I do have a...

Hi guys, hope someone can help me with a problem i came across today. Never had any start up issues before, took the car out today parked and returned to the car and it wouldn't start. It had power and was cranking the engine but just wouldn't start. No warning messages on the dash...

Hi. My 1998 C180 petrol engined fails to start. The battery has been off the car for three months while its parked in long term car park in Spain. The battery is fully charged up, and the engine turns over, but fails to fire up. There is fuel in it. Would it be the immobilizer? I was hoping...

Hi guys, Recently bought a Mercedes Vito 111 53 plate, and I must say as a Merc newbie it's been amazing. There's only one problem. The thing doesn't start with either key (spare and main). I've checked the battery and it's fully charged, drove 6 hours on a trip and turned it off and tried to...

Hi the van was running fine, and then it wouldn't start. I put the key in ignition, all the lights in the dashboard would light up, but I turned the key to start it but nothing happens. I checked the starting motor, but its working fine. There's no error on the dashboard. Does anyone know...

OK, so it did start in the end but it took a few goes. I have been kind of expecting this. For a few months now it has now and then been running rough on start up. Not for very long. It calms down after about 30 seconds or so. This seems to happen most often when it is cold and/or wet. I have...

For a while now, when starting from cold, the engine turns over fine, but doesn't start for about 8-10 seconds, followed by a small cloud of dark exhaust fumes at the back. It hasn't got worse (or better), but starts fine when warmed up. Batteries are fairly new. Any ideas what the...
