strange

My 2005 cl203 manual cdi has developed a strange vibration/sound when the revs begin to die out. This only happens when the car is cold. It happens when in neutral and when the clutch is down during gear change for the first several minutes of driving. Here is a short video i took earlier. The...

So my CL55 amg has developed a strange noise. It sounds kind of like a whirring or bearing noise but it is only audible when in the 1-2k rev range but when cruising there is a sort of a "hollow" noise no matter what speed I'm doing, to be honest I probably can't hear it under load because of...

My new to me CLK 270 CDI W209 with 65k miles is making a strange clicking noise from the gear box area when its under load. The clicking speeds up with the speed of the car, at first I was thinking something touching the prop shaft but its been up on the ramps and nothing to be seen. The noise...

When I have my C270 in Standard gearbox mode, there is a lumpy type judder as the car is stationary, but in drive. Most noticeably felt, with the brake held on just enough to stop the car drawing forward at lights etc. When the comfort gearbox mode is selected, there is no judder, vibration...

Posted here because not sure where else to put it. S211 320CDi I6. 166000mls. Valeo has been done. No accompanying vibration. Undertrays are in good cond and fully bolted up. Noise is similar to the 'hunting' or rhythmic drum sound you get when a rear side window is open slightly and is...

I had my car connected to Star on Saturday to do the tank gallons remaining mod, which now displays in IC fine! I went out for a drive this afternoon and for some very strange reason my car now has SBC Hold, I know for sure that this has not been available before :confused: Is this...

Hi, I have a 2009 C63 with PP and a Eurocharged remap. Today I noticed a strange smell from the engine. Like water or oil is being burnt. Temps are all fine and cant seem to see anything in the engine bay. Car has done 25000 miles. It happens when the car is warm and no warning signs...

Hi all, I've recently developed a clicking noise which sounded like it was the gearbox, and only happens when moving. I have read up a lot and was convinced it was the parking brake clip thing. I've since had that checked and apparently it appears to be fine. The noise now appears...

My C63 coupe has a really strange creak, quite loud and almost a 'crack'!!! Happens every morning when i take it off the drive or if I parked on the road, as it comes off the Kerb. Makes me think the whole car is about to split open. Hard to explain but similar to when you open a frozen window...

Hi all, my first post as this is the first Merc I've owned. It's a 2009 Cdi. When I'm driving between 15 - 35 mph there is a strange droning noise coming from the wheels/tyres? It doesn't happen above 35 mph or when I'm going slowly. I've had a friend check the wheels and he doesn't think...

Hey Guys, I have a very small problem with my W202. I say small..... I very rarely notice it, it's more the kids when they are sat in the back. When I put petrol in the car, ( doesn't matter if it's a full tank or a fivers worth ), there is a smell of petrol inside the car for about two or three...

I my car is going to the garage today, for some reason when iv been driving fast and break round corners it's making a squeezing noise, it sounds like a stone scrapping on my discs, iv had new break pads and the discs are fine and also the wheel barings have been checked. It's not always making...

Hi all. When I approached my car after work today, I opened the boot and then when I pressed the button to close the boot (electric closure) it wouldn't close so I had to close it manually, I did reopen it and it opened fine and then pressed button to close it and this time it was fine. Then I...

Yesterday, I was sitting in traffic and

Last weekend I went for a GTG on the other forum at The Haynes museum in Sparkford... After the meetup I stayed overnight at a certain Mr developers house.. The following morning he accidentally had a page open on his laptop.. He not so subtly kept dropping hints and put temptation my way.. I...

Since buying my 2001 230k CLK about 5 months ago, it has always had an issue that, when cruising on a motorway/dual carriageway, at about the legal limit, the auto box, for no reason would change down from 5th to 4th gear. I could normally select 5th manually after a mile or two but, if left to...

Ever since I bought my C200 it has displayed the following odd behaviour. Every so often: - The temperature gauge drops to zero - The engine fan comes on - The heater comes on. If I pull over and switch off the ignition and then switch on again everything returns to normal. This used to...

I have a 2003 C180K S203. A while back the windscreen wipers stopped working but then started again. Now I am left with a problem where, if I have the windscreen wipers on and put an indicator on, the wipers stop. It does not do it if I do the tap 3 flash indicate. As soon as indicator is...

Well they're strange to me anyway.... Would anyone know what these two brackets on the header tank would be for. 2004 CLK240

I have an S320cdi W220 2001. Often when parked up when I turn the steering wheel I get a loud noise which I can only describe like a table being dragged on a wooden floor and making a droning sound. its quite loud from the inside of the car, but not sure how loud it is outside. It only...
