Hi,
Im having some starting issues with my 2003 270 cdi CLK (Automatic) and was wondering whether anyone may have some idea as to what could be wrong.
- The length of time it takes to start can vary drastically
- It always turns though
- Usually (surprisingly) on a cold start (or when the cars been off for a while) it starts almost immediately, on the first attempt
- However subsequent starts get increasingly difficult, and sometimes it can take a number of attempts, and when it does start it can mean keeping the key turned for quite a while. Sometimes it wont start even after lots of attempts
- It always starts with Easy Start straight away
- When attempting to start the car, the rev counter sometimes fluctuates strangely (just jumps up and down...ranging from 0-to the very low numbers)
- The car has got very high mileage (180k+) (I acknowledge im due an upgrade very soon! )
My mechanic suspects it might be something to do with the fuel pump sensor (?)...and as a first attempt has tried to repair it with a repair kit of some sort (Im not convinced this has made any difference)
If anyone has any ideas, i would be very grateful!
Thank you
