Hi all, long time no post!
I have a 2010 W204 C220 (auto, diesel) and a problem which seems to be getting worse...
The issue is that when I first start the car after it has been idle for a while (the longer its idle, the worse the problem) when I shift into a gear to move off (reverse seems worse) it will stall.
I'd been living with this for a while (a few months) but a couple of days ago after it had been left for 3 days I had to try 7 times to get it to not stall. Each time I started the engine again, moved into reverse and it just stalled.
Maybe coincidental, but I have also noticed it slower than normal getting off the mark, for example, if I stop at a crossroads, it takes longer (than usual) to actually move. Again, worse when the engine is cold.
I have no warning lights.
Sound familiar to anyone? Anything to look at?
Thanks.
