Hi all,
Recently purchased my first Mercedes, a 2010 E350 CDI coupe. Love the car, and really enjoying the experience so far, but there is one thing that keeps bothering me:
When the car is at full operating temp., under load (ussually going uphill) and partial throttle, I can feel a rhythmic judder through the car. If I put my foot down a bit more it disappears, and likewise if I lift off. It never happens on the flat or going downhill, and is usually at speeds between 40 and 60mph, though I have felt it at motorway speeds once or twice too. Its definitely harsher around 40mph, enough for passengers in the car to notice something, but doesn't happen all the time, only on longer journeys where the car gets fully warmed up.
To me, it feels driveline related as opposed to the engine itself, and so was going to get a trans fluid and filter changed booked in anyway as the car is just about to reach 130k miles and has only one mention of a trans fluid change at 35k (though has full Merc history to 110k).
However, just wanted to see if anyone else has experianced similar issues incase I need to expect a big bill? I've searched around the net for answers, but have found all sorts searching for judder, and not much if it useful!
Appreciate any help you can give!
