Have C220 CDI Sport Auto, recently having experience when engaging drive from N, motor remains static until I give a few revs... when it then decides to move.. rather jerk..ingly also. Guess it's due to the electronics adapting to style of driving ! Anyone out there experience similar and is there a way to avoid problem?

My Red Shed had this problem untill I changed the filtre and fluid in the gearbox.
 
Low Auto fluid?

It sounds like it could be low on fluid.

Not a regular occurence.. but... next service not due to until I reach the nexst 4.5k. Have 65k on clock already... can/will it wait do you think? Appreciate yor response :)
 
insist on a gearbox and filter change - mine did the same (5 speed electronic box) then it went bang.....

OIL CHANGE!!!
 
yeah, sounds like low on fluid, does it also do it at speed, or just from neutral?

There is also a vacuum unit on the side of the box, if you screw the bolt out, it will make changes smoother, if you screw it in making them harsher. These units can go, but not very common.

Get your fluid changed first.
