Okay, I'm getting the hang of this new found beast.. but I've noticed that I've a stiff clutch, creaks on the pedal a bit... should I be worried? I've had it checked by a mechanic who advises its fine biting point is where it should be but I just wonder is it the springs in the clutch that...

Hi to you diesel guys I have a 124 300D OM606, the car has a very stiff accel. pedal from over half way down. I've checked all linkages and cables, they're good. I have disconnected the injector pump linkage and when you push it simulating pushing the pedal, it moves nicely as it should then...

Hello Guys, New member here, I have been lurking around reading this forum for a few months now. I finally purchased a C63 PP 2009 a couple of weeks ago. I got to say I am a little disappointed with it. I have owned almost every M power car and felt it was time for a change of scenery...

When I am parking the car at very low speed, the steering in my CLK seems heavy. If I turn the steering left or right when I am going very slowly, it feels as if perhaps I am turning too much for the speed I am going (I am used to more power steering) and that I am putting too much stress on...

My accelerator pedal on my 1984 280sl is very stiff, given all the linkages in the engine bay a good dose of WD 40 but can't seem to free it off, any ideas guys. Cheers Andrew

I had the accelerator cable replaced a few weeks ago after it had stretched, and the pedal hasn't felt the same since - it now feels very stiff.. When it was first changed it was fine (light & very responsive), but then after 2 miles of driving it would suddenly go stiff, like it had...

Picking up a SLK 320 this weekend. It's a 2001 R170. When I drove it I thought the throttle was stiff/ heavy. Is this normal? If not does anyone know an easy fix? Thanks in advance!

Hi I've looked all over but can't spot anything on stiff gearchange when cold or first starting, has this ever been mentioned before? if not has anyone got an idea on what it could be, when i asked my MB mechanic about changing the oil/fluid he said there is no need as they boxes are sealed...

Hi Guys, Not sure if this is the right section? The accelerator pedal on my W202 C180 is extremely stiff, and hard to hold the throttle in one place. Is there any way of lubricating or adjusting the pedal to stop this? Thanks Jon

Hi everyone, I’ve had my 2002 220 CDI with a manual transmission for a couple of months. There was a “thing” with the gearbox when I bought the car; going from neutral to 1st was a wee bit tough and going from 1st to 2nd felt just a little crunchy. I can live with that I thought. Now...

Hi guys the steering on my w203 sports coupé feels stiff I checked my power fluid level and it seems fine there is also no noise when turning the steering in either direction. Any idea what it could be?

I had a look at some similar threads using the search function, and it seems like others experience the "stiff throttle pedal" on their W124s as well. It's the common problem of it being stuck at one point, when you are trying to push it down gently. I tried spraying WD40 on the throttle...

Hi I recently bought another car (not a MB) and then noticed that the accelerator on my W202 C200 Elegance Auto is stiff and also has play in it. I have to press the accelerator quite long way before the car gets any power. After that everything appears to be allright. Any suggestions...

Hi I have a C 180 Elegance 2002. The indicator assembly works fine but is stiff and creaks when moved up or down. Does anyone have any ideas why? Many thanks Tony

Hi, i have just bought my first mercedes from a non merc dealer. It is a C270 CDI with 91k, 53 plate and an Avantgarde model. It has just had an MOT and it got 2 advisories, "both suspension arm bushes deteriorated but no excessive movement" The tyres appear evenly worn but the car pulls...

Hi The power steering on my C180 (95) recently seems to have got heavier - it used to be fantastically light, but just recently it seems to have got rather heavier - not massively heavy by any means, but definitely heavier. If i steer the wheel fully in either direction while at standstill...
