tickover

Unfortunately due to currently being incapacitated I'm not in a position to crawl under it and look but my R129 SL32O has a rattle but only when it's in gear and only at tick over. As soon as you pick up the revs or put it in neutral it goes. I'm thinking it may be the exhaust or is it...

I have a 04 CLK 320 and it has started running really lumpy once warm on tick over drives fine, any ideas anyone

My new/old toy has a problem that has confused my local mechanic. I still had to pay his bill of course. Whilst the engine sounds healthy enough, it is ticking over at 1500rpm in neutral and 1000rpm in gear. All Internet info put this down to the air control valve which I replaced with a used...

Hi All First of all my van runs great, no smoke, nothing untoward. My issue is this, when i start the vehicle cold hot or anytime the engine sounds a bit rough? but after a few seconds the idle speeds up a few hundred revs and engine is much quieter? I have also notices that when it is started...

Hi all - I bought a very attractive Automatic 1998 C240 a few weeks ago - i've used it every day since. I do like it but it has a couple of what i think are minor issues. It cuts out in traffic and/or very slow speeds. It has a quite jerky gear change ... It has came out of gear twice (i...

my 2007 e280cdi seems to tick over at a high rpm for a long time from cold usually until it gets to about 60 degrees i never noticed it doing this before how long should it have raised tickover for

Hi again everyone I have a 1999 320 clk cabriolet which had a misfire at tickover a couple of months back I had the codes read which the gentleman told me related to the first cylinder on the left looking in from the front and was in fact No1 and said it was coil pack or leads finances were...

Hi All, My 2000 W208 clk 230k has acquired a fault. When fired up, instead of ticking over as normal, it's revving up to about 2000 rpm then dropping back down to tick-over, as soon as it drops down it revs up again to 2k. It's as though the accelerator is constantly being pressed. The...

Hello all im new to the world of Mercedes only had my car 4 weeks but it seems to have a slight problem. The tickover is really erratic the rev counter kind of pulses and you can feel the car pull almost as if it was in drive and you were blipping the throttle, there are no engine management...

Evening all, my tickover is at about 500 rpm, and seems a little juddery. Am I able to adjust or is it a computer gizmo that I need to get it plugged into to change it? Any advice appreciated, Mike

Hi guys, my cl600 tickover "pulses" on startup. It goes from 0 to 800rpm in a steady rythmic style like someone blipping the throttle in time to music. does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? here's a quick update on the progress i've made so far with the indicators, wipers and...

My car runs well most of the time but goes through bad patches when it behaves very badly with lumpy tick-over, sometimes stalling and decelerates when pressing the accelerator, and terrible fuel economy (10-15 mpg). I can reproduce these symptoms by: Leaving the car unused for about two...

my 2001 EClass 320cdi ticks over at 1200rpm and unevenly.Had recent air mass sensor and glow plug any suggestions?

Hello. Thanks in advance for any help with this problem thats driving me potty. Tried some new parts. Problem persists. On tickover my engine is noisy with a booming rattle. As soon as you bring it above tickover it runs smoothly. On full lock it chirps. Under the bonnet I can see the...

Hi All, The lighting (interior lights/side lights) on the CE go 'dull/bright/dull/bright' whilst on tickover and if i put my foot on the accelerator to increase the revs it just speeds the process up. Any ideas as to what this could be?. Wasn't sure if this may be the sign of a failing...

Hi. My 1997 c240 wasnt ticking over right.....a bit lumpy. I took it to a local MB specialist that told me there was an air leak on the inlet manifold and maybe it was a faulty plug or lead. They fitted a new gasket on the manifold. Now its running too fast and a little hotter than usual. They...
