strange

Hi im looking at a 2005 C180. I can only find one problem with the car but it could be the start of something worse, not sure. On the dash display it has a message about the left turn signal in the mirror and it ticks faster as if there is a bulb out however all the signal bulbs work around the...

Hello all Iv had my car for just over 2 years now and the air vents for the rear passengers have always blown hot air, regardless of where you set the temperature, or regardless of wether the A/C is on or off. Always hot air going into the back. I was trying to get to the bottom of this while...

hi guys, past 2 days this has happened and its got me worried, the car starts and performs perfect, HOWEVER on cold starts (happened 3 times now) i get this noise! it seems to come from the right hand side of the engine (when stood in front of the car) it goes away fairly quick and then...

Hi all, bit of a strange one! Tried to start my S-500L last wednesday, battery was almost flat and it the engine turned once but did not start so I removed the battery and charged it overnight. when I refitted the battery the next day i noticed some strange electrical problems, the interior...

Hi I am Dave and new to the MB Owners Club, new to owning a Merc to be honest. I have a 2002 C270 CDI estate 2002 model and have been having a few issues with her. They all seem to me to be electrical issues and seem to disappear as soon as they appear. AC wont come on, I have done the sync and...

Ok so basically this morning I was driving to town and all of a sudden when I was stuck in rush hour traffic the whole drivers side of the abc system dropped to as low as it can. No abc warning came up and when I pressed the level up/down, the passenger side worked perfectly as normal. I...

Hi I am looking for some guidance on a strange air con / heating issue. I have w203 270cdi on a 03 plate. It has the air con with the dual control dials. I recently had a leak repaired and tested and the system worked great ice cold. A couple of weeks ago the fan/blower was making a bit of...

Hi All, Not sure what forum would be best for this, so general discussion might be a place to start... I've just brought a 2005 C180 Coupe (W203), i love it. First Mercedes, and it will not be my last, (in fact, its started a little 'quest' within me - buts that's for another thread...)...

My 2001 Mercedes C320 Avantgarde 's engine light came on today along with an intermittent problem with the gearbox not changing up on it's own and the throttle hesitating at low rpm. Anyone got any ideas? Regards, Chalpkin.

Hi, I have a 2004 c class coupe facelift, I have just noticed that I have a clicking sort of noise coming from the rear offside wheel like one of the wheel bolts being to long, I know this isn't the problem because I have had it checked. Could it be the drive shaft where it connects to the...

I bought my ML270 three days ago, I informed my insurance company LV, of this and they asked for a further £300 pound, this would take my premium on to £700, and that's not even for a full year. The vehicle I was swopping my NCB from was a Mitsubishi L200, not exactly a high performance car :D...

Hi all. Started car this morning... missfirex and switched off.. dashboard read esp defective visit workshop with check engine light on... my code reader read P0638 throttle actuator control range performance bank 1.. i cleared this code. Now no light. No malfunctions and car runs fine... any...

Hi all, I hope someone can give me a pointer on the below. The SL likes to make a whining noise when turning the steering wheel when she's cold. In a straight line, all is fine, but turn the wheel left or right and this sound eminates from the front. It doesn't do it once the engine gets...

This is weird so I'd really appreciate the huge collective knowledge here. CLK 2001 320 coupe - Drivers seat is fully adjustable, electrics work fine going forward but not backwards, neither the seat base or back. However, the memory does work and returns the seat to the pre set position...

Bear with me I hope this makes some sense. Bought a second hand Vito CDI 108 yr 2002 for Taxi purposes – it was previously being used as a taxi but in a different town with probably smoother roads. I often transport 7 passengers and the rear suspension is proving an absolute nightmare –...

I've had my 1996 W202 C200 (pre facelift) for 7 years now and it has been a great car. Just lately, however, the alarm (actually the 2 main keys, I think) has started doing something odd. Long story short, if I alarm and disarm using the flat "emergency" fob all is well. However, if I use either...

Hi everyone, i have a 2001 c270 cdi that is making a strange noise :crazy: It only does it when driving and there is no loss of power and the auto box changes gear as it should ???? Any suggestions welcome as i'm now thinking i should have bought a beemer :wallbash:

Hi all, I have a 2000 W208 CLK Convertible which has developed a strange fault with the central locking. It is however intermittent. The fault manifests itself in 2 ways. 1) Boot won't open via central locking or switch in car 2) After locking the boot opens itself within a minute or so...

Sorry for the long post but i cant explain this in any less really..... I have a very strange issue primarily with the SatNav in my SL. Its a 2005 model with the widescreen command and DVD based maps. Basically it shows that I have links to satellites but the map does not update my position...
