Looks like it slipping from that video, is the TC light flashing, I cant see it?

If it is, get it on star and read the codes before deciding.

Looks to me like the gearbox is slipping, I cant tell from the video whether its a gear change or not.

Yes, that was what they told me at Mercedes when they tested it. But it is strange that it cuts all the power not just slipping.

Sometimes it’s doing worst than this. It’s like the engine dies for 2 seconds and than it gets a lot of power. It’s like a manual car when you don’t sincronise the clutch as beginners. I don’t know how to explain. My enghish is not so good.
I will take a longer video tomorrow.
I really apreciate all your information
Thank you

There is torque management from the engine ecu so that it will pull power if it detects the gearbox is slipping.

Is it a diesel or petrol?
