Hi

you are going to be soooooo busy!!!!!

 

[Cearth]

I have a question for you.

I have a c220 CDI 2001 Y MANUAL! 64K fully serviced etc. while putting ones foot down i.e going up steep hills or over taking there is a momentry lack of power... I can only describe it as like a miss from a petrol engine car or like a gentle jab on the brakes. Its worse in hot weather. Local MB dealer changed an intercooler pipe....said it was collapsing under load..£250 later no cure and no come back.... long story... its a difficult to fully describe the prob. If you need further info I would love to share it with you. It needs B service... you free???

without looking at the car for a problem like that it is very hard to say????
i have i think experienced the fault and could be a number of things, but most commonly i would say to get the air mass sensor checked out or charge pressure sensor, may not be registering a fault but could be reading incorrectly under certain conditions. Could even be a gearbox adaptation problem or torque convertor lockup clutch sticking

easiest way if possible to try another air mass sensor, i think but dont quote me on this they are only about £27 and take minutes to fit....

im in essex so maybe a bit far for you to travel

Good to have somebody "in the know" on board!

Welcome to you mate.

As you know to attempt to diagnose faults on a Forum is not always easy, so good for you to put your head above the parapet.

this is a common problem mainly with the early electronic gearboxes 722.6
reseting the adaptation of the gearbox can sometimes improve the downshift quality but the problem is mainly with 2 to 1 downshift and this is due to increased/wear in b1 cleareance in the gearbox, gearbox stripdown and adjustment(reshim) is required. to be honest if it is not to bad i wouldnt worry about it. it shouldnt get any worse.
hope that helps
