weird

In mornings if i drive really gently on throttle the box feels like it changes in i think 3rd really early & so the revs drop right down. Also feels like the car pulls as it changes up through low gears. It only lasts for about a mile. Any ideas?

Hi, I've had a couple of garages look at a pretty annoying rattle with my S320 W220 year 2001 with no joy and a lighter wallet. Hopefully someone here can help! I've recorded the rattle as I'm driving here: Mercedes S320L W220 Rattle Noise on Acceleration - YouTube It's pretty bizarre...

Some of you are aware I've had intermittent problems with my W210 2000 E320 CDI limping when it feels like it. So far it has had the following done: New MAF New air filter New MAP sensor New thermostat New oil + filter Intake manifold removed and cleaned out EGR mod done All parts were...

I have a curious problem. When I signal to turn left, the rear windows go down! The RH window goes down in time with the flashing indicator and LH one just goes straight down . Has anyone any idea of the cause of the problem?

Well I sold my old car on 12th August, to a motor trader, and promptly sent the yellow slip to the DVLA who signed for said slip (send special delivery along with tax for a refund) on the 13th August. I've just received - 20 days later - a Notice of Intended Prosecution due to the chap who...

I don't normally get involved in anything on the road (having grown out of road rage in my late 20s), but Saturday morning yielded one of the weirdest encounters I've had in a while. I was on a 40mph dual carriageway in mild traffic minding my own business and coming up to a big intersection...

Hi all Picked up a 2009 model year e350 with media interface option Plugged my pod in and the music plays fine but the typical iPod selection options....eg playlists, genre etc are not there..just show folders with random letters etc....there is no way to navigate to a song or playlist...

Hi all, while browsing the internet I came across this option of W124,I was really amazed..never heard of it..can this option be applied to all W124 models? these are called front wheels panels.

Just got my new car and been messing around with a USB stick. I'm using an iMAC / iTunes and have my music ripped as ALAC files. I've made 320kps MP3 copies of an album's tracks and moved them into the root directory of the USB stick (8GB SanDisk Cruzer formatted as FAT32 in Disk Utility)...

Hi folks. I am new to this forum and have just inherited a W203 C220 CDI merc. Unfortunatley though, i have discovered a slight problem. When i accelerate (in gear) there is a funny noise coming from the dash, i would decribe it almost like the sound you would get from speaker interference...

Hi, Whenever I turn on the Climate Control on my facelift 210 estate, whether it be heating or A/C, I get this weird kind of 'constantly-changing-tone-whistling-noise. It gets worse or better if you change the fan speed setting. It sounds to be more towards the front passanger side of the...

I've never really noticed this before but driving around today I noticed a weird noise from the headlight switch area. It's like a gas discharge noise. Hard to explain. It might be normal but I've never heard it before. And what puzzled me more was if I accelerate then it disappears. And as soon...

As far as traffic related weirdness goes, today has to be at the very top! :crazy: Left home at 6:15am this morning to get the car to Clive for a little bit of paint splashing :rolleyes: Programmed the route into satnav a few days ago, usual stuff... Whether flood warnings or some cosmic...

....regretably I have been given a company car (dont ask what model - trust me it is poor but better than adding miles to my MB....) and so my pride and joy has been sat on the drive for a bit. Ive taken it out for a spin every couple of weeks no problems just to keep things 'moving', but with...

Hello my fellow mbclub members. I have willow132 coming round on the 22th to conduct a star diagnosis test to see if anything is wrong with my car for peace of mind as I have been getting low MPG mainly round 21-22.7. So today I unplugged my MAF and drove the car around and the MPG was...

I keep getting whiffs of a strange aroma in the car. It's similar to gloss paint or paint thinners. I thought 'fuel leak' but a quick look showed nothing and the fuel consumption hasn't dropped as far as I can tell. I smell it mostly in traffic so it could be the car in front, but I'm just...

I am having a problem with brakes on my W168 A160, following refit of refurbished alloys. When I went to collect the car, released the handbrake, put it in reverse, the car wouldn't move ... okay, put back in parked, tried to pull the handbrake up - it won't go up. As I was still at the...

Hi Everyone, Just bought a 2002 C180 and had a few potential probs with it. First off the auto transmission occasionally seems to stick in second then yesterday the EML came on. Found out the EML light was due to an engine overspeed so read that with the OBD and reset with no reoccurrance...
