Took the car out for a drive today after a few days Noise coming from what seems like the front left wheel..like a whirring/scraping noise. (Impossible to explain lol ) anyway I pulled over and had a look and it appears the disc is being scored I.e something stuck in the caliper? Not...

Hi everyone newbie here just recently bought an Ml320D sport 2005 W164 model was driving fine until one day last week whilst driving the ABS/ESP light come on and then on the message screen it lit up saying Rear Diff lock overheated please let it cool down but this was only after driving for a...

Not a good moment today whilst driving from home to Newmarket. All fine with the car until giving it a bit of a blast through the Hatfield tunnel, got up speed quickly but didn't feel quite right as I exited. Vibrating when I next accelerated and not picking up properly, also engine management...

I have a E280 Sport S211 2008 with 75500 miles on it, and love the car to bits. The car was remapped by MSL early in 2015 and the EGR was mapped out also the cat was removed the car drove lovely. The car was treated to a new turbo and control unit last September (2016) and a new N.S.R ABS...

I took the cla for a short spirited drive at lunch today and it did something new?? I thought I let it warm for around 6 miles and water was well up to normal, I had a safe bit of road so nailed it in 2nd in manual and as it got up to 6kish a large red simbol appeared briefly in the centre of...

I recently replaced the balance shaft and all that goes with it at the local dealer. The car is running fine after this apart from 2 times during quite hard acceleration, then for a *very* brief moment (it felt like someone pressed a switch and then almost immediately turned it on again). If it...

Hi, Recently purchased a 1997 W202 C250d with 133K. This morning the engine suddenly died. No electrical problems, plenty of fuel and battery new. Managed to restart after a few tries but it wanted to die again when decelerating, almost as though fuel was being stopped. Keeping the revs up got...

Why have I suddenly become averse to the taste of eggs? All I can now taste is a strong taste of sulphur. It's horrible and so strong. I used to love eggs, boiled fried egg mayonnaise etc etc. But all of a sudden all I taste is the bitter taste of sulphur. A horrible bitter taste. But why?

While driving my C220 W204 a warning came up saying "check engine oil when next refuelling". Because the engine started to sound rough I drove the four miles to the main dealer very gently. The engine did not overheat nor was there a warning of low oil pressure. However, the engine required a...

I was driving my W123 300d (non-ABS) on the A13 today and after about an hour of driving at 65+ mph, I experienced a sudden loss of brake assist/ boost. Here is all the information I have: The pedal depressed much further than usual repeatedly before any braking took place Pumping repeatedly...

Hi all We have just sold our c class estate and bought a 2000 ML270CDI for both the 7 seats and to tow our horse trailer and whilst driving have noted a bit of a problem. Every now and again we can be driving steadily down the road at say 1500 revs and the Rev counter will shoot up to 3000...

Hey guys, been a while since I was last here. The previous post was about the gears holding in 2nd up to 3rd for a couple of seconds before changing up. That problem sorted itself out a few days after I posted. I now have a new problem. This morning, I was in a rush to get out to meet...

Hi Folks Just bought a 1998 SL320 and on the whole its great a few issues around vacuum driven locking etc are present but are acceptable - however on acceleration (foot from mid to quite hard down) the power just goes, almost as if a engine stopped and then a big jolt as power kicks in again...

Driving home tonight I accelerated quite hard onto the southbound M23 (up the hill). All of a sudden there was a jolt and my 2010 E250 Diesel Sport lost all power? A warning text came up on the display but I was so busy trying to get over to the hard shoulder in rush hour I can't remember what...

Hey guys, I started my c230k this morning and the rpms shot up to 2200 for about 1 second, and then back to 1200 to warm up and the back to normal idle. Initial start up was louder than usual but there was no shaking, idle hunting or misfire. It wasn't even that cold, only 15 degrees...

I'm totally new to Mercedes (have and still have big old Citroens) and purchased a lovely low mileage (129k) estate three weeks ago. Picked car up from private seller in South of England and travelled back home via Scotland to Northern Ireland. The car behaved faultlessly apart from a slight and...

On two separate occasions in the last month my E280 CDI (V6) has hesitated and then lost power when I have kicked down asking for some rapid acceleration. On both occasions the engine was fairly cold. The car then went into limp mode BUT with no warning light on the dash. After pulling over and...
