Hi all.
This is my first post since buying my 1989 300ce late last year. I have read a few threads on this topic but still unable to narrow down my problem. The car starts first time everytime, but when it reaches its normal operating temp it develops this rough uneven idle that fluctuates...

Hi guys!
Firstly I wanted to say hello, its the first post on this forum.
I have a common problem with my 2002 CLK320 W208 Coupe.
Problem:
Car runs perfectly, although when it gets warm round 80 C it shakes a little when in drive. The rpms come down just a little and you can feel a...
So it's getting a bit colder now and the leather is not as nice to sit on, so the last week or so I have been using my heated seat when I leave for work at the crack of dawn.
However, it gets warm but just doesn't seem as warm as last winter - like the temperature of it has been turned down...
My W202 C230k starts fine from cold but the idle is slightly jumpy and the car feels a bit hesitant until warm.
When I do a warm start it can take a few seconds to start up, but it never fails to start.
Could this be the MAF?
Also when I fill the car up completely, there is a strong smell of...
Hi,
We currently run a 2007 Sprinter 311 CDi and it has an intermittent fault where it won't start. It's usually when the engine is warm and as soon as you turn the key all is normal except the Glow plug light doesn't come on and the starter won't turn the engine over. I've tried all of the keys...
Hello and help !

i am finding the engine temp running just over the halfway mark prob approx 90 c or so ( not really sure ) and the temperature on the internal heater is very very warm

My two previous cars both 6 cylinder one diesel and one petrol would be up to normal temperature within a mile or so, my currest B Class 4 cylinder take about 5 miles. Is this a little slow?
Hi guys,
I have recently purchased an E320 CDi, 2001 with 82k on it. After the 200 mile round trip picking up the car I noticed it felt a little rough on tickover and it sits about 600 rpm at idle. Is this normal idle speed for this engine? It seems a little slow to me?
Also on the run...
Hello all,
I'm back again with yet another issue with my car, they seem to be endless at the moment. Basically the car is cutting out when warm and won't start up again for a few minutes, it then continues to do this making it impossible to go anywhere. Must apologise for the essay but just...
Hello all!
After years of wanting a Mercedes i finally purchased a 1989 300TE petrol estate.It had belonged to the same person for the last 11 years and although it has 160k on it it is in very good condition.
However when i bought it the seller told me he had problems with it cutting out when...
Hi,
is it OK for a 12V car battery to get warm on tickle charge ? Its about 30 to 31 degres centigrade on the side.
When I recharge the little AAA toys battery, they do get really hot, then I hope it is OK too for a car battery, or its not suppose to be?
Cheers.
Hi, I know, I only pop by when I want something:D
Dear Dr MBClub, can you help?
Last week I reversed up a steep hill to park, stopped for 5 minutes then found that the engine wouldn't start. It coughed a bit. I let it rest for a minute or so, tried a few more times and it was still the...

Noticed today that the drivers side front wing was quite warm? the bonnet slightly but the top of the wing right at the front was rather hot,the other side not so much but still warm... lifted the bonnet and the front slam panel at each side was warm too.Water bottle is...
Just looking for pointers on this query.
The car in question is not a Merc but a 2003 Hyundai Trajet 2.0 diesel.
Starts perfectly from cold but once warm will take a lot of churning before it kicks back into life.
Any clues?
I know I know me again with more problems on what appears to be te special POS edition c230k!
I have noticed that when my engine has warmed up it appears to have a knock coming from the engine. When sat idling it will knock at a constant rate. If I slightly accelerate the knock increases...
I recently bought a c180 estate and duly joined this Mercedes Forum to increase my (limited) knowledge.
Shortly after I bought it, I did a short - 10mins or so - journey, just enough to warm the engine through and tried to start the engine a few minutes later only to have it half heartedly...
