Hi all
We have just sold our c class estate and bought a 2000 ML270CDI for both the 7 seats and to tow our horse trailer and whilst driving have noted a bit of a problem.
Every now and again we can be driving steadily down the road at say 1500 revs and the Rev counter will shoot up to 3000 revs for a second before returning back to the original amount?
It's not a kick down and the speed of the car doesn't increase just the revs. Not sure if it's like a slipping clutch on a manual car.
I have the car booked into Mercland on Thursday for a gearbox service as I don't know when it was last done and can ask them to put it on the star to see if it shows any faults
Has anyone cone across this before. I have thought about faulty mag but not sure if it is engine or gearbox related
Thanks
Chris
