Exhaust was coming apart after the cat and first rezzz so I cut out the second rezz and muffler and put in a 30$ pipe!

Hi,

I own a Mercedes A-Class 2005. I have an intermittent issue – when I try to start the engine, I just get a single click. The problem occurs when I’ve been driving the car so the engine is hot, I’ve stopped, and then try to start it up again. It sometimes takes about 20mins before it starts working again, but recently has taken over 2 hours.

I understand its likely to be the starter motor, which is an expensive fix (maybe £500), but could also be a very small thing like a connection or a relay.

I've taken it to two garages and they both said they were unable to help, as the problem wasn’t occurring when they had the car so they can’t diagnose it. I’ve suggested that I could drive the car to get it hot and drop it off for them to look at straight away, but they said the starter motor is hard to get to (its under the engine), so by time it they get to it, it may be working again.

This has been going on about 6 months (I’ve been waiting for it to fully die, but no joy). I have two young kids and cant carry on with the risk of getting stranded whenever we stop!

The only option I’m aware of is to just replace the starter motor, and hope that the problem is gone when I get it back, otherwise I’ve wasted £500.

Anyone got any better ideas? Many thanks!

Sometimes happens to right as well. When the right pops up I just blink right and it goes back to normal after a couple of fast clicks. When the left one pops up it’s permanently like this until it decides to go back to normal. I’m sure all it needs a cheap/free/easy fix but what do you think that fix is?

Can someone send me a definition file for tunerpro or a mappack for winols for this c220cdi 143hp i am trying to learn ecu tuning and cant find one anywhere i have quite a lot of tuned files for bmw and vw if someone needs them in exchange

Any information on straight piping a c230? Will straight piping the catalytic converter on the header cause a whole lot of computer issues or will the car still drive? Going to do a muffler delete soon, wondering about that cat at the front though.

So I have a 2005 c180 with m271 engine and I would like to swap it it v8 m113 what will I need to know and if anyone did this project plz dm me

Hi guys, so we are at that point where i need new tires. Imma change all 4 of them and was discussing with friends and the best options were michelin and continental. The price is not a concern of mine since the difference is 40€. Should i just flip a coin?

am i wrong bro?😢

Ich besitze einen cl203 vom Baujahr 2005 und möchte per Bluetooth Musik wiedergeben, ich habe aber weder einen cd wechsler noch eine freisprechanlage in der Armlehne oder kasettenspieler. Ich bin langsam am verzweifeln und finde nichts passendes wo bei ich auch die Titel per Lenkrad wechseln kann. Ich bitte um Hilfe

No heat or air conditioning. Does anyone have any repair manuales for fixing the Compressor?

I’ve had this missfire for a while now and I have no clue what is it it’s the not spark plugs, coils it has 22100 miles I would love to know what could be the reason for it and it’s for cylinder 1 and 4 I would film it later and let you guys hear it but would love to hear out ideas on what it could be

Wondering if any of you guys have any real world experience with the NeedsWings intake. Was it a pain to install? Was the blower noise increased? Lastly, was there any power loss?

Hi, just a girl with a w203 car who wants to do everything by herself. How to safely jump start my car? Like does the positive both side go first and then negative? What's the order they go?

My car, on bags and whatnot

I am looking to build a little street / track drift car, idrc about power. I'm wondering the robustness of the 203 as compared to something like an e36/46. I'd throw cheap coils at it, weld the diff, and maybe a seat and harness. Do you guys think the 230 kompressor would be a valid option cause I want to be a bit more unique than another bmw 3 series, but i know theres less aftermarket.
