I have a 2005 C220 CDI Estate that has an annoying problem that seems to be getting worse. I've not had the car long and the garage I got it from (Hyundai main dealer) gave me a 12 month warranty so I can hopefully get any problems sorted. However, given that they are a Hyundai dealer I want to see if I can give them some idea of where to look.
Problem was that when sitting on a reasonable road (dual carriageway, motorway) at between 60 and 70 on a light throttle in top gear I'd get a slight hesitation. Watching the rev counter for when it did it again I noticed a drop in revs and then it picked up again. It's only momentary and actually feels like the auto box is trying to change up (but can't as there's no more gears...)
Over the weekend, this seems to have got worse and I'm getting the same thing in other gears (at about 2000ish revs) and it feels a bit lethargic. When you boot it, its fine, doesn't seem to be an engine problem, more the engine and the gearbox having a bit of an argument over what to do.
Typically, it was fine on the drive in to work this morning - I can't make the car do it, it seems to be random.
No faults showing on the dash and otherwise everything seems fine.
If anybody has any ideas I'd be very grateful
