Hi, I'm the proud owner of a 2001 C270 CDI Avantgarde but have started to encounter a problem and was wondering if there's anything I can do before getting the wallet out.
The auto box is very smooth but over the last 2 days it has developed a intermittent fault. The car wont accelerate with any gusto? The kick down refuses to work and just normal acceleration is slow (almost like the turbo's not kicking in?) The fault is through all gears but you can eventually reach a sensible 75/80 mph without the engine sounding like its having any issues.
I have found that sometimes if I stop the car, switch the engine off, remove the keys and let her rest for a while that when I start the car off again its fine and then othertimes it sorts itself out for a while then goes again???
Any advice would be greatly received, Thank you.
