W204 C220 CDi hesitation at low revs

[markaz]

Hi

Not sure if this a common problem or trait?

When travelling at low speeds 0-15 mph the car is very jerky and it's almost like it "kangarooing".

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

Mark.

manual or auto?

Hi all. Similar problem on my e320 cdi (v6 diesel, 7g auto). At low revs and speed, car seems to be a little jerky. I wouldn't describe it as kangarooing as its not that violent but there is a definite pulsing.

Auto and kangarooing too strong a word but definitely not smooth. Full MB history with gearbox oil change. Current mileage is 40k

I have this issue on my C220 occasionally. And rev counter goes up and down as well.

Hi, I have the same on my car - W204 C220 CDi hesitation at low revs. i'm glad I found this thread as I was beginning to think I was imagining it! Mine is very subtle and only seems to happen on occasion (or perhaps under certain conditions?) so i can't quite make out whether it's engine or transmission related.
