Hi All, I have read a lot about the it, but still not sure what to do and where. First it started with erratic idle a week ago, sometimes a cut of while idling. Then I have built the LED "diag tool" to get the ECU fault codes. I got 13,22,24, idle switch purge valve open circuit. Idle...

help! my W210 seems to be runing a little hot as I'm having to regularly top up the coolant. Fan and thermostat replaced and no obvious leeks...temp dial shows above half way and will rise slightly towards next marker....

w208 320 starts first turn when cold,once warm,will crank then stops,crank again,and will start,have replaced cps,any ideas anyone?

Guys, whats the deal here... Drive off straight away or warm the engine up??:dk: I always warm my engine up at least for 5-10 mins views and opinions please.

I have a 1991 w126 300se and the heating is very poor, it only gives out a luke warm breeze when the car is at full temperature and if I turn the speed up it is hardly noticeable. I have purchased some 2 stage coolant flush but need to locate the drain plugs on the engine. I have done a...

Hello folks, i'm having a problem with the heaters in my car. All of the heaters on the passenger side are blowing warm (not hot) air & all of the heaters on the drivers side are blowing cold air. There's a 50/50 split & I'm not sure about the rears, so I leave them off! At the moment i'm having...

Can anyone advise how long it should take my merc to warm up I reckon it takes 15 minutes or 5/6 miles to get to running temp My brothers old 202 2.5 diesel takes about a mile and I have noticed that our fleet of work 2.5 diesel transits are much the same if not quicker Maybe need to fit a...

Washed the car as usual last weekend - proper hard work and takes me a few hours. Any way, that was fine and the car was gleaming. Today I parked under a tree when I went shopping and came back to find the roof and drivers side covered in bird sh*t! Filthy flying rats! So, got my squirt...

Hi All Have a rather annoying issue at the moment, when my 320CE is cold the motor sounds great at idle, nice and smooth and quiet. As soon as it gets up to temp however it rattles like a diesel from idle until about 1500rpm. I don't think it is tensioner shock as it would do it...

My 1988 260E runs fine when it is cold, but only after a few minutes it starts to stumble, shudder and tries to stall under load. The ABS light comes on and given all of the other posts on the subject, one would suppose that it was the OVP. I thought so as well and am now $132 poorer as it...

I replaced the heater panel illumination bulbs on the Sprinter. Everything seemed okay but I no longer have any heat from the heater. The right hand knob in the picture is the temperature control and is connected to a cable that I assume opens a flap to allow the hot air in from the...

Hi All, I’m reposting some of this from the original Electrics section because it’s gone ‘Engine’ – I think? Any advice would be gratefully received. To recap a little, my 300/24 coupe simply failed to start from cold ten days or so ago after having previously behaving impeccably with...

My wifes car - a 2006 Polo 1.4tdi seems to be taking a long time (even longer than it used to) to warm up the cabin these mornings - the engine temp has always taken a while and that has not changed - the car is running fine - the gauge sits dead on halfway at 90 degrees once it has warmed up...

I noticed ther other week that my CLK (W209) 270 CDI was not getting very warm (60 degrees approx - max). I had thrmostat replaced at local garage. It seems a bit better now but it takes ages to warm up. Around 10 miles of commuter driving to reach around 70 degrees. It will eventually get to...

I have a W126 300 SE 91. The problem is the heater, it blows air when set to maximum but not very hot, only warm. The car heats up fine and sits nicely on 80º, but the heater only blows warm air on the first setting, if I turn the speed up to 2 or 3 it blows more cold air and you can just feel...

What is the best way to warm an engine. Diesel? Petrol? I can remember back in the day I let my then Sierra 1.8 petrol tick-over for half an hour and after that it was always very tappety.. So is it into the car and drive off straight away? Or wait a minute or so to let the oil flush...

hi, all this seems to be a great place to get answers to questions nobody can help me with... i drive an e300 1998 turbodiesel avantgarde saloon... when i turn on the heater there is no warm air, only cold and very cold. the blower works fine and the ec button and the recirculating button work...

Hello all I'm in need of a warm-up regulator for an M110 280 (CE W123). Does anybody have one? Mine is dead and the only luck I've had so far in finding one is from MB and they want £500 of my hard earned! The Bosch part number is 0438140103 Thanks in advance Tim

I've a problem with my W reg C220 CDI Elegance (Seq). Its starts fine when cold but when the engine is warm/hot I have to wait for the engine to cool down before it starts. I can live with this when I go to work, but very irritating on short-journeys as you can imagine. I took it down to a...
