Well, engine mounts now changed, transmission mount too, and they fiddled with the gearbox. Car running significantly smoother than before. so I feel my persistence was vindicated. Less than 3 year old and only 20k on clock. So age/wear not a factor it seems :dk: Before i took it back...

Have same situation with my 2 year 20k c220. Vibrations at idle and acceleration. Just had transmission mount changed. Didnt fix it. Going back in this week. Gonna insist engine mounts changed.

I think I'm gonna request their email contact on Friday and put events, past and current, dated, in writing there from now on.

I'm a bit uncomfortable with this. All correspondence for this episode in its entirety is by mouth only. I have no tangible record of the car ever being booked in or worked on for said problems. Worryingly, the same said probem that might not be solved once the warranty runs out, and I...

Thanks mj. Never been in the position of needing work done under warranty before.

Well.....dealer had car all day today, "all done", and handed back to me. Went for a quick spin around the block. Vibrations at idle slightly, just slightly, better, but still not good. And now I get a BIG CLUNK shifting out of park that wasn't there before. Straight back to garage...

Thanks. I have done a small video but can't upload it here :(

Hi, I have a mercedes for first time. C class 220d. The car seems to idle rough to me, I performed engine mount test in drive and reverse with brakes on. The engine rose about 1 1/2 to 2 inches both sides. It is only just under 3 year old and 20k. Sounds rough when accelerating too. I have...
