W204 C220 Cdi
For those of you who have driven the W204 C220 CDI 5 speed auto...
Did you notice that around 30mph - 40mph when the box has stopped changing gear and is just crusing allong that if you reach even the slightest incline the engine labours quite violently and shakes the wheel?
Im trying to work out of it was just the demonstrator i had on an extended loan or if it was a Characteristic of the car.
Im interested on your thoughts.
Its almost like the gearing is too tall and the autobox has been programmed to change up as quick as possible and its only doing 1400rpm and its outwith the torque band and this the weedy 2.2 natuarally asperated bit has to pull 1.5 tonnes allong on its own without the help of the turbo and it doesnt like it.
I love the car , but the refinement of the engine/transmission isnt a patch on the bmw setup which i find very disappointing![Frown :( :(](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png)
