strange

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...

I haven't had my R107 SL for long and am getting to know the car gradually. I am puzzled by a ticking noise which sound like a loud indicator relay. It emanates from beneath the glove box. It is NOT the indicators. It seems to come on randomly whilst driving or stationary and sometimes persists...

Hello everyone, haven't been back in a while and I hope everyone is well. the steering in my 1999 C230K has developed a moaning noise that comes from the engine bay when I turn the steering wheel at very low speeds (pulling into or out of a parking space mainly) It's annoying and pretty...

All, I have a 2000 year (W reg) CLK200 (non-supercharged). I'm probably going to replace it soon as the rust is just getting too much... However, it has started making a strange whirring sound from the rear whenever I hit 1700 rpm when accelerating. It's difficult to describe. As soon as I...

:confused: Hi All strange problem with the speakers. have read threads on here that deal with some issues and solutions, but not the exact problem speakers on passenger side are crap, very low volume, muffled and crackly. this is everything passenger side, all drivers side are OK. stuck...

Hello, I am having some issues with an 2006 Sl 55 with 22k miles, not been driven much this year, only a few miles, Basically there are two issues that i think are likely linked; 1. First issue is in manual gear mode, you have very little control over the gearbox, it sometimes lets you...

I have a 2001 CLK Cabrio, which I think is haunted. Yesterday I parked the car and the wife got out when she closed the door the window which normally slides up did then, it started juddering up and down about seven or eight times. I opened and closed the door and the same thing happened, then I...

Hi there, I recently noticed that when changing gears, the process seemed a bit labored. This was driving in C mode. I think it is less noticeable in S mode. When switched to M mode it's hard to say as I never really driven in manual mode. The other day when diving at about 30-35mph on a...

Ok, looks like the PSE pump is playing up again; No central locking. Boot only opens with the key, as do the doors. PSE pump, got that, I'll check the fuse. Problem I have is I can't get into the storage bin behind the drivers seat to get at the fuse, it seems locked. I was not even...

SRS was reset on Friday as I bought it with this failure on. Went for a short drive on Friday evening, again on Saturday afternoon, no problems. Moved the car around in the garage before power washing & mitt wash preparing for detail, all OK. After power washing then mitt wash, checked the boot...

We had our A140 (2001) in for an MOT today, and although the brake readings were fine, there was a strange issue with the driver's side rear brake when tested on that roller thingy.... With both wheels spinning, braking is normal and absolutely fine, however individually (just testing one...

Dear learned colleagues This is not really a major prob , ive lived with it for 2 years now , but just annoying , the problem is that unless I sit in my car in the morning frm cold and run the engine on a fast tickover to get it warm , this takes around 15 mins , the gearbox will not change up...

Not seen this before - not sure I like them compared to the facelift lights on the S and CL. Quite like the wheels mind - I have no idea if they are genuine (how do you tell - do you have to know every wheel released?)... Mercedes-Benz E Class E55K 4dr Tip Auto 5.5 Sure I've seen the...
