    W203 (C220 CDi) hesitates on motorway between 2-2.5k rpm

    Hello All Over the last four months my W203 has become more erratic on A roads/motorways. If you set the cruise at anything between 2-2.5k rpm it will hesitate (drop about 200rm) every so often, then carry on as if nothing has happened ! It's getting worse even my wife asked me 'what's wrong...
