Ok maybe an overstatement but its runs very sluggish when cold, once warm its smooth and fine, any suggestions? I also noticed this morning (-4 today) the car momentarily jittered in 1st gear?

Hello all, Only had my 1998 CLK 320 Benz for approx 1 Month..but already have a problem with it :confused: I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem or has enough wisdom to help diagnose it? When starting from cold it runs perfectly and very smoothly. If I stop for a...

My 300ce starts first touch of the key when cold, but requires foot to the floor throttle to start when warm. Runs perfectly once started. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Six year old Gateway PC running Windows ME (sorry). After an hour or so the system freezes but the mouse cursor still moves. CTRL-ALT-DEL takes ages to respond but then won't shutdown. I have to power off. When powered back on the system cannot see the hard drives and wants a bootable floppy...

Hello all, I could really do with some advice on this problem. My 1997 s280 (w140) has a significant number of missfires in the lower rpms and poor hot start idling. According to a diagnostics check, it is cylinders 3 and 4 that are missfiring. I have tried the following remedies, but to...

Hi, I have a Brabus 3.6 :devil: based on a 300E (M103) which has just had it's head gasket changed, along with new valve guides. The car starts first time from cold as it should holding a high 1200 RPM idle getting progressively slower as expected. The problem is that seemingly the warmer...

My E220 CDi (W210) seems to take forever to produce usefull heat from the heater. Its not a problem at the moment but I still remember last winter. The car claims to be equiped with a device to speed warm up time when the outside temp is below 8 deg. I assume this is diesel powered, how do I...
