C200 W202
I own a 1998 C200. Recently, I have had poor running when cold, and more recently, it has also started to judder and misfire when at high revs or high load when driving. I can barely get above 80 before this starts to happen. Any suggestions on where to start? At more normal revs and load, it seems to run fine.

Thanks

disconnect the maf and try it if it inproves you need a new maf

Thanks. I will try this tomorrow when I drive back to Budapest. If not, I guess it will probably be a coil pack breaking down, or something related.
 
Thanks. Advice spot on. Car runs fine without MAF connected. Do I really need to replace it, or can I just leave the car with it disconnected?

i ran my old vectra for about 6 months with the maf dissconected and only noticed a small difference in fuel consumption.
 
How good are the cheap MAFs that you can buy in eBay for around £25? Are they a good replacement for the OEM Bosch ones?
 
Seriously don't. bosch only or you will have problems.
