- 2002 C200 Kompressor Estate
Hi All,
I bought my first Mercedes two weeks ago - a 2002 C200 Kompressor Estate. As I bought it from a garage, I've got a 3 month warranty.
Sadly, it's already gone wrong after a week of driving. If I use more than 50% of the throttle, the car starts misfiring and then won't stop misfiring until I have pulled over and restarted the car. I should also add that this has thrown up the engine management light.
The second issue that I have, is that the gearbox hesitates on kick down and gets confused with itself. It also jolts at low speeds, when I am following traffic round a roundabout for example. Quite disconcerting.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem/s could be?
Thank you,
A
