Just got my first ever Mercedes and I love it. I own a 2004 C270 CDI. One problem I have is that there is a rattling noise (not sure where it's coming from) can be heard in the cockpit. It can only be heard once the engine has warmed up a bit and seems to get faster and louder upon acceleration...
Help.
While cold perfect (about 5mins). Then smoke with loads of soot in it. After further few minutes a diesel knock and missing lumpy drive. Not sure if it's fuel related or head gasket/ cracked block etc.
It's started while driving along. Fine, been driving for an hour or so then loads of...
2002 Avantgarde, She starts fine when cold; but, occasionally cuts-out when warm and quite predictably fails to start when warm. usually a cooling off period helps.
When she fails to start she will crank and usually try to fire-up, often running very rough, before 'dropping off'.
This started in...
I've got a bit of spare time coming up and looking to expand the egr shunt mod so its off until engine is warm. I'm not in the UK these days and where I am in winter can be -20 for a good month so getting warm up times back to pre shunt would be ideal.
I've searched long and hard but can't...
Hi
My wife's A150 has a very small misfire, or more like an intermittent judder (very small) when the engine is warmed up. You can only really feel it when sat in traffic or when cruising at a constant speed. The rev counter doesn't even dip when it occurs but it is just noticeable. We still...

Unless my car has the power to see into the future and its predicting desert like temperatures on our way I think there is something wrong.
The temp reading on the right hand digital readout is was saying today it was 63 degrees in Preston. Obviously it wasn't so what is the likely problem?
My Vito 108cdi 2003 with 99000 miles is playing me up again. I solved the non starting problem with having all 4 injectors overhauled, and now I've started to use it, when it gets near normal running temp it wont rev over 3000 rpm as if its got a limiter on it. Been advised it could be the mass...
Just fitted them, they get there eventually but don't seem overly warm to the touch ? Is this correct ? My ole Volvo ones heated up in seconds and were lovely.
I've been sitting in the car for 10 minutes and I've only just got a toasty bum ! That was reswitching on setting 2 a couple of times...
Hello all!

Here's the issue - car would do a cold start during mornings just...
2002 W638 2.2 108CDI Vito.
I've just bought this van with suspected head gasket failure. Pressure tested and leak (gas) tested the system and both tests indicate HG OK.
Drove it for the first time this weekend, about 15 miles in total, up some steep hills, along a national speed limit...
Hey all, Trying to sort out the heat on my GF's 1999 C230 Kompressor. It is the "Classic" trim level so it has the twin temp knobs and the dials for the blower and vents, not the digital climate control system fitted to many of them
The passenger side previously worked fine and the heat...

I have owned my car for a week and discovered that there is a problem with the outbox when the engine is warm, rather than cold.
My daily drive is around 6-7 miles and when I make that journey, the engine and gearbox are lovely and smooth and a pleasure to drive, you barely notice the...
Hi, All.
I've been looking for a LED lights pack to replace the bulbs throughout the interior.
The desired effect is brighter lighting, in the foot well, overhead, etc.
The problem is, all I can find are cool white LEDs which have a kelvin of around 10,000k. The car is red, and it's an...

On my W203 the vents are blowing warm air on all but the minimum temp setting. I've tried doing the blower vents-reset (to no avail) and will be getting a diagnostic done mid-week, but what I have been told is that it's likely one of 2 sensors - either the temp sensor housed behind the vent in...
