Hi,
As a new Mercedes owner, this is my first post on this forum.
Unfortunately, it is with a problem.
Just five weeks, and less than 2,500 miles, into owning my C220CDi SE Estate, it managed to break down on me!!
Pulled into Heston Services, M4 east bound, for a coffee. 10 minutes later the car was struggling to start, with a whole Christmas tree of warning lights on the display.
I managed to get the car to start - but the engine management light stayed on. 30 seconds later, it died again - and wouldn't even turn over.
The end of a long story, saw the car on the back of a breakdown truck and my wife and I waiting for a taxi!! It would appear that Sunday Evening is NOT the time to call out Mercedes Mobilo Breakdown Services.
Has anyone else come across this problem? The breakdown recovery service indicated that they are collecting C220CDi BlueEfficiency vehicles at the rate of 2 - 3 a day.
This is NOT what I expected from owning a Mercedes!!
Any help / comments would be appreciated
Thanks.
