Hello all,
This is my first post on this great forum. I have a 420 SEL 1991 which we are in the process of recommissioning. It was laid up for over 10 years in a barn. It runs very lumpily, misfiring slightly, and very frequently cuts out at low revs. It starts first time every time, even after...

OK. Firstly I apologise for the long winded nature of my post.
I have a 2010 CLS Grand Edition with 108k miles on it. A few weeks back I was driving normally at around 30mph. I stopped at a junction. Accelerated quite quickly into the road and I felt a strange vibration in the throttle pedal...
Hi all,
First time poster, but found this forum thoroughly useful in the past. Thanks for all your help!
I have owned my first Mercedes for a couple of months now and naturally im in love with it already.
Just a niggle though- the idle is not perfectly smooth. It only jumps around about 20rmp...
So, i've got this 2008 C220 CDI that has been at the workshop for about three months now. It all started when i went to get a leak on the second cylinder injector fixed. It should've been an easy job, but when i came back later that day my car was just shaking at startup, but i tought it was...

Hi, we own an ML270 CDI yr 2004. We started having problems (difficulty to start & then stalling while decelerating). Once, after stopping for a break on a long journey, it took 20 mins to start. We then took it to a Mercedes Benz dealer for servicing & to review the problem. It came up with...

Hi all,
I would like to have introduced myself before posting but I'm in the middle of a DIY and I could do with a little help!
My ML320 W164 has had a leaking injector for a while and I've finally got around to making a start on fixing it... However, the simplest of things has stopped me...
Hello,
Jus a quick question and/or story on what happened to me today. I was finally in Germany able to give the car some speed, and after about, oh, 40 minutes of 130-180 KM/h driving (avg. of about 160?) I saw my car belch out the most disgusting, bluey-grey near-opaque smoke from the...

I had my vehicle at a shop which was to clean the "black death", refurbish the injectors, and refit them with new washers. Well they couldn't get it started again and I had it towed on a flat bed to the dealers.
The dealers replaced 3 injectors and then it started to sound like it wants to...
Hi all
My 2.7 CRD - same engine as the ML270 (OM647 i think) ecu is blown (I know there will be differences in the ecu, but with this scenario I think my questions will be quite generic to common rail diesels and ecu/pcm's)
I had a case of leaking injectors (black death) and took the...
