warm

My W211 e270 from 2003 after warming up make a noise at idle . Noise can be heard close to right front wheel and sounds like a leak exhaust. I checked for leaks and my indie said that is no leak but probably my catalytic converter make that noise. The noise is disturbing me. What do you think...

Hey guys, I have an issue where my car stalls and is reluctant to start when warm. It's fine starting from cold. I've for a bit of digging already and the crankshaft positioning sensor looks like it could be the culprit. Has anyone else had similar issues?

My 300TE-24 wants more money :-( There are a couple of symptoms: A smell of petrol inside the car. I lifted the bonnet tonight when I got home and there was a fuel leak under the air cleaner on something that joins the inlet manifold forward of it. When it's being driven in traffic, if...

Guys, Have this car not even a week. I'll try to explain. When car is cold, on warm up - just around 40-50 degrees it starts to smoke badly, literally like a locomotive. That lasts not even a minute then stops to smoke totally. Not even a cloud of smoke, I can floor it whatever I do when warm...

Who sits and warms up their diesel before driving off. And for how long? Should this be done or are modern diesels good to drive straight away? What are your thoughts..

Ok guys I've changed all 5 injectors and have had the cps changed but still I have the starting problem any one suggest anything else? :wallbash:

Hi, i stupidly put a bit of ZX1 superlube in my fuel tank, as on the back of bottle it said it did the engine a treat, but think i put a bit too much in :fail however few weeks after the event i noticed it started playing up every now and again when warm it would just keep cranking but would not...

The ultimate car coat...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has any ideas what so ever regarding the car having high revs at normal operating temp? Everything fine whilst cold but as soon as its warm it starts to rev at approx. 1100 - 1200 rpm? Driving me nuts now! The car runs fine other than that :(. I'm thinking of a...

This is my first time using this forum, so please correct me if I put this in wrong folder. I have an E220 CDI, four cylinder, 2009(late 2008) Mercedes. Yesterday I tried to start the car, but it wouldn't even crank. I turned the key and the car just clicked, as it does when you are out of...

Hi guys. I'm in need of some desperate help. My car is a 1983 W123 200 4 speed (M102.920). I have recently replaced the single row timing chain and tensioner due to a rattling or tapping noise caused by the chain hitting the timing chain cover somewhere, although the problem still persists...

Not the engine temp, the car it's self? My CLK, after a run, will be very warm.. The front off-side wing (near the headlight) is almost to hot to touch. The car runs fine and it's always done this, and in the winter it's very handy as the car will heat the house when it's in the garage...

Hi, I bought my W124 E320 last week, and I must say I absolutely love it. However, when I picked the car up it has a slight issue with the revs dropping when putting it into D or R from P. This would sometimes cause the car to stall. That being said, the car runs beautifully without fault and...

Hi. I have a S320 CDI lwb, it has started playing up the last few months. I am at a lost at what to do. The car starts up find from cold, so in the mornings no problem. But after driving a few miles, if I switch it of, it will not start again. Not even crank. I get a red message appearing on...

Hi All, I've just bought a 2007 ML 320 cdi and have noticed that it seems to take ages to warm up in the morning even though we've had a relatively warm night. It doesn't start too fast either with a fair amount of unburnt diesel puffing out of the exhausts. It isn't too smooth with the gear...

Should diesel Mercs be warmed up for a few seconds or minutes when starting from cold?? Can driving off from cold cause any real damage to engine or turbo? Is the warm up issue just a myth or an important part of driving a diesel? What are your thoughts on this. Would be interesting to get a...

On my W203 I've notice that after the last several journeys (hour plus) that both front wings are getting quite warm! I've not noticed this before, and opened the bonnet to check all is ok - nothing amiss, but also noticed the black cross brace (at the front) is also very warm). Perhaps it's...

Hi, I have this kind of odd problem with my 1999 E300 DT. It starts fine but runs like you had taken the turbo out. If I drive it until it's warm, then restart, it runs good. In summer I just have to run for a couple of kilometers, at about 10° C for about 15 kilometers and at about freezing...

Hi, I have a 2004 2L classic, The car seems to idle fine and ok, but when ive been driving for about 10 mins or so, especially when im in top gear it seems to lack power and is unresponsive for a few secs, it feels like it is missing. I have replaced the fuel filter but it seems to have gotten...

Hello everyone. I am hoping that you can point me at the cause of this problem. My car in a 1989 300SL Auto, R107, and has been laid up since my twins were born in 2004. I am in the process of putting it back on the road. I have an issue with reverse. It works fine when cold so I can...
