strange

Hi I am hoping you can help me. I have a B class and its started making this whining noise which increases as the revs increase. You can't hear it when at idle in drive but as soon as you set off it gets quite loud. It sounds as though it's coming from underneath the car. No warning light are on...

When my car arrived at the dealership almost 2yrs ago I received a link to a 'walk around' video of the car (with commentary) which I actually thought was a nice touch and added to the excitement of getting a new car. However, since then as I near the end of my PCP term I have had a couple of...

Hi all Hope you can help. My CL has a strange clicking noise that sounds like it comes from the bottom right of the windscreen when it meets the dash. It's directly linked to body movement/flex, going over bumps etc but I'm pretty sure its not suspension related. I've been over the suspension...

Hello everybody, I purchased a CLS 2006 with 3.5 litre petrol engine two months ago. It was faultless (apart from the boot closing/opening problem) that time, so I went for it. It's mileage is 53 770 miles and it was serviced regularly. However, I noticed a strange noise coming out from the...

Hi all, My C32 has developed a misfire/rough running in the last few days and it's a bit of a puzzler, as I put the car on to Star at my local dealer (a friend is a tech there) and it showed no misfires at all. I was kind of hoping that it would, so I'd have somewhere to aim for, but it came...

A couple of months ago, just before my MOT, a van reversed into me at a junction. It was fairly low speed and all that happened to my CLK 230 was a few scuffs on the top of the bumper, chips in the small bumper surround and a few tiny chips in the topcoat on the very edge bonnet. I was impressed...

Hi all, I have tried the search feature, but can't find what I need, so I'm hoping someone can help. My 2003 c270 has developed a strange, very low, dull vibration. It happens mainly on tick over, but there is something when accelerating too. Its not shake your teeth out vibration, its very...

Hi all, Got an SLK 230 a week ago and haven't driven very much. When I have, have started to notice a weird noise. Doesn't happen until warmed up - probably 3 minutes of running. Touch the accelerator and RPM goes over 1200 - 1500 - there's a sort of 'pump' noise from the engine bay...

So basically if I have my air con/heating/fans on, everything is fine. However when it's off and I'm idling there is quite a loud rattling noise coming from the area of the AC pulley in the engine bay. When I get going I can't hear it but I'm not sure if hats just because the engine is too...

Hi folks, Quite regularly as I get in my car (W212 E350 CDi), there's a pronounced 'squawk' (kind of a CB radio-type sound) which appears to come from the passenger side of the dash / glovebox area. This is simply when I unlock the car (with fob), open door and sit in. It makes the noise...

Hi everyone. I've now done 2000 miles in my new E350. When I was leaving work in Friday I started her up then locked up my office. I proceeded to drive down the Farm road and noticed it didn't change gear. Now I only travel at 10 mph as its a stone road ( half a mile long ) once in the road it...

Wonder if anyone can explain the below scenario... I picked my new car up on Saturday and having previously owned the same car a year ago I knew there had been an audio 20 update which resulted in a colour scheme change (to grey). Anyway, the audio 20 display was showing the 'old look'...
