Morning All. I'm new to the club and happy to be here.
I have a 2001(51) E220 CDI w210. Love the car, but have had a problem for some time. It Went into the garage last week and £500.00 later I was left with the same problem.
The problem is a rough idle and smoking in all gears with my foot on the brake to the extent that you must put the car in neutral to avoid being shaken around or the car stalling, put the car in neutral or park and you don't have a problem. As soon as you pull away the lumpiness has gone and she drives beautifully.
I put a Mercedes MAF Sensor on, but still the same. Took it to what I thought was a good garage (less faith in them now, I must say) and they did the following:
I was told that it was probably the torque converter in the gearbox and that it would cost about £2000.00 to cure, which I wouldn't pay on a car this old.
I can't believe this could be the end of my baby, someone save her! I'm desperate here!
We await your life saving comments.

- Wiring loom to engine ECU
- Check Continuity
- Remove Several codes in ECU
- Replace broken air filter mounts.
- Cleaned out Throttle actuators and blocked EGR valve.
- Renew clutch drive to alternator and auxiliary drive belt.
- Add fuel system cleaner.
