Hello all.
I have a 96 E220 coupe, with what I think is an aftermarket Diavia a/c system.

Now the problem is while its idling say at traffic lights, when the a/c compressor? kicks in (rev's go up etc) it will jolt the car forward. More noticable if at that exact moment you are letting your foot off the brake :eek: . Not to nice at all.
Is this normal? should the a/c compressor kick in so harshly?

I've been told by the garage I bought it off that "that always happens with the 220's"

Cheers for any help.!

My first C220 had the same air-con system and it never jolted forward when the compressor kicked in. I had to change the relays once as they were chattering but other than that it worked perfectly for 120,000mls.
