Hi guys, I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right place, but here goes. I recently purchased a 2011 Mercedes C220 CDI. It's been running almost flawlessly apart from one small problem. Very occasionally it seems to be having trouble starting. Most of the time it'll start without issue...

Morning all, Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Just a bit of background, as I'm not sure how important it can be. A while back the car was losing power and the turbo wasn't really kicking in. Was taken to a specialist and they replaced the EGR and turbo vacuum transducers and...

B-I-L has a 320CDi V6 CLS. Wouldn't start early this morning although exhaust puffing smoke. Green Flag attend and operator opens drivers door, presses 'lock' button on remote twice, climbs in and closes door and car starts immediately. :dk: Said to B-I-L that he's seen the fault before...

My 2008 E320cdi is just coming up to 160k miles and runs superbly, apart from a new cold start issue. Turn the key after the glow plug lamp has gone out and it takes 4 full starting cycles to fire up. It's always started first time! I had all the glow plugs changed about 5k miles ago. When it...

The battery has gone flat on my 300 SL -24 I have heard horror stories of people jump starting them. I am thinking of disconnecting battery and then charging away from the car. Is this going to cause any potential problems. As my owners manual does seem to suggest that jump starting correctly is...

On to my next problem. I probably should go back to the trader but after the gearbox debacle I'd prefer not to, even at my cost. Cold Starting - When the car is cold it cranks longer than normal and reluctantly fires. Starts absolutely fin at all other times. May or may not be related but...

Hi all, i am a new member and just wanted to say hello first. I need your help! My 2004 C220 CDI will not start after parking for six months. First though it was the battery, so i connect my movano van for an hour with jump cables to recharge the battery... battery got charged ok but car...

My car would not start last week. I had done a 100 mile journey the previous day with no trouble. My local garage ( who serviced the car) cannot get it working. They have replaced various sensors, checked the fuel pump, ignition etc. They have had it running, switched off, could not restart...

Hi My C220 cdi 2002 coupe is giving me grief starting from cold. Its gradually got worse. I have to use easy start spray to get it to start up in the morning. It just cranks but does not start. I thought this was due to the high pressure fuel pump as I saw a drip of fuel when it was...

Hi all I've a 2007 CLS 320 that has very recently developed a starting problem. Occasionally, I can be sat in 'park' and wanting to start the ignition and all I get is ignition lights, no start. No alarm, no noticeable click, no turning over. I have found that with the foot on the brake, I can...
