Hi Folks, I have a 2005 Diesel C200. The engine management light came on a while ago (during the freeze, this time last year) complaining about the Diesel Particulate Filter. This light turned off by itself - I'm putting this down to the filter eventually regenerating itself. Since then...

Hi all, I've got a worsening problem with my 2005 SLK200 R171. When I start it up in the morning the idle sounds fine, I drive off in first and the autobox seems to upshift hard and a little early. If I slow in traffic when the engine temp is below 80 the car "bunny hops" a little in second...

Hi. I have recently bought a 1991 300TE. I was pulling out of a junction when suddenly there was a bang and I lost all drive and coasted to a halt. The engine is fine but there is a grinding noise when it is in park. The speedo still works when I rev the engine in drive. But....I have no...

Hello, I have a 2000 model s320. I have a cd/radio/tape player in my car (No command control/screen). Today i was doing some cleanup, cleaned my front windscreen, side windows, plastic trim, steeringwheel, etc and then switched on the car and tried to switch on the radio but no display and no...

On the way home for Saturdays GTG and again tonight the CC decided to treat me to a sudden burst of full heat on the drivers side only (passenger side was still nicely chilled). Shortly after I noticed it, it subsided - without me touching the controls. I can see that perhaps the in-car temp...

Help! I have a year 2000 CL500 (W215) with Comand 2.5 and the Bose audio. Yesterday there was sudden loss of sound from the radio and satnav, and the CD changer suddenly does not work (loss of power). The screen seems to be working fine, displaying the radio station, as does the...

I think the incidents with "other" place has caused so many of you to move over. I was a member of this forum first and find it very friendly and have enjoyed helping with peoples problems. The other forum is good but not great like this one.:bannana: :bannana: :bannana: :bannana: :bannana...

Today i experienced a very sudden loss of power just as I was pulling onto a dual carriage way, The car wouldn't pull anymore and the top end was about 55 mph. Pulled over and could hear a woosh of air when the accelerator was pushed and a smell of diesel in the cabin. I started off again...

Help! Suddenly the c/locking has failed on my 2000 W215 CL500. Everything else works fine. The doors just don't unlock with the fob or the button on the dash, and the boot cannot be opened. Could it simply be a fuse?

After driving on the motorway at a steady pace for a prolonged period of time and letting go of the gas, the engine dies. The car won't start for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes it will start normally. Happened 25 times in the past year. Multiple service stations are unable to find the problem...

Yesterday had a rare and unpleaseant experience. Just finished reversing into parking lot at Brent Cross & my engine died before being switched off. Electrics were fine, starter motor rotates, but no ignition. Went to shops & came back in 20 min & it started no problem. After pulling of and a...

Leaving home for London, 100 metres down the road travelling about 10mph I hear a sudden loud bang from front left side, in the wheel/underbonnet area, sounding like a catastrophic component failure.Everything apparently normal otherwise so I return to my front door and park up. Thinking it...

You will all be very sad to hear that my engine died last week. It was a sudden death and was unexpected. The post mortem will take place after Xmas but food poisoning looks to be the likely cause, it ate its own tappet buckets! If anyone has a 250D (602) engine to fit a W124 in a corner of...
