Hi, I have two beautiful Mercedes' one 1990 SL500 and one 1992 SEL600. I was wondering if i would have any issues replacing the engine in the SL with the 6.0 litre V12 in my SEL?? :D As their is a SL600 with the same chassis i would think their would not be any problem Any suggestions or...

I have a C200, automatic, which - together with some bad advice - has been giving me an increasing deal of trouble in the last three week. The problem, in a nutshell, is this: The engine is vibrating excessively, particularly when moving in slow traffic (for instance, when stopped at a...

I have a 1992 200te with about 177000 miles on the clock and I am planning on giving it a quick service this weekend from the looks of it it has not had one for at least 2 years. It has a noisy/tapping lifter on start up and for about 5-10mins after. So I was thinking of using an engine flush to...

Hi Everyone, I recently got my Mercedes C180k 1.8 (w203) converted to run on LPG. After conversion, I was having a few problems, and whilst we were investigating, the LPG Fitter opened the Motor Oil filler cap, and there was fumes coming out along with a knocking noise. Now I'm no...

Hi, I have a Mercedes 300 CE-24 of 92 with automatic transmission which has a significant starting issue: When it is left in the garage for more than 2 weeks then, when started, the engine runs for 10-15 minutes and stops. I have to wait for half to one hour until it can be started again. My...

Hi. I got my engine management warning light on after a sudden vibration experienced by the engine. I called AA and I was asked to drive to the nearest garage and got it checked. It was found that the injector was coked up with unburned fuel. Two options were given, either to clean it using...

Hi every body,:D (Excused my English) I’m new in MB world, I sold my BMW 320d, and I bought an S/H Mercedes Benz (80K Miles - 127K Km from 2007) a C220 CDI 170HP (W204) :p– characteristics see Carfolio. I bought the car with a “little engine problem”: when the engine is cold, in...

Hi everyone I'v had an issue with my mercedes today. I drove up to a mate's place today and the car drove fine. While waiting for him on a downhill slope, i had the car running with handbrake engaged. However, when i wanted to move, the car only moved forward slightly but then it wouldnt move...

I changed my engine oil today and got a unwelcome surprise that I'd not seen before in 8 years of ownership of my W202 series C200. I'd drained the sump, then when I unscrewed the oil filter cap, oil came out over the top and ran down the engine. That chamber is normally near enough empty when I...

Hi all, Please go easy on me, Im not a mechanically minded lass, and I am a little anxious with this situation. Wonder if anyone could offer any advice. I have a 03 plate C180K, well serviced, just topped 80k on the clock. It has never had any running problems, so I was surprised the other day...

Hi All. I have a 2004 SL55 AMG. I currently have the engine management light on. What are the usual causes for this? I have been told about the secondary air pump. This has been tested and I have been told it is working fine. Can this still be the fault? Thanks in advance Steve

In my 2003 SL 500 sometimes it has delayed start. Most of the times its fine though Really frustrating !!!!!!!!!!! Have changed spark plugs and fuel filter. Anything else I can do? Has this happened to anyone else?

My Mercedes E200 1997 car starts with the turning of the key but does not get to the kick-on point - just draining the battery. Attempts were made to jumpstart it with the power pack but still it did not start. The car is now located in a yard along Shepcote Lane, Sheffield. I need it sorted...

I have a 2002 model SL 500 with 70k miles on it. I have changed the fuel filter, spark plugs, have serviced recently and still when i start the car at times it is jerky and takes a little while to get going. And at other times it starts first go. Suggesstions?

I have the displeasure of owning the above car which has caused me nothing but grief since I bought it. Anyway, the latest problem is that while cruising the rev counter fluctuates (maybe by about 50 revs). As this does not appear as a fault on the computer my dealer says that this is normal for...

Hi, Needed an engine for my next project. It for a 1969 250ce. The current engine is completely shot. I understand that these models were fitted with the M114 I6 engine. What other models of MBs can I potentially look at to find replacement? Any pointers would be much appreciated...

I have a 2001 230 SLK Auto with tiptronic and was travelling along at 50 mph in a line of traffic when we came up behind a car towing a caravan. We reached a straight stretch of road and there was no oncoming traffic and the car in front looked like he was going to overtake.Intending to follow...
