    Vibration on 2010 c350

    My c350 has a vibration in mid range acceleration, it doesn't feel rattly but is really annoying. So far 2 garages have been unable to find the cause. It is possible to accelerate through the vibration, my gut feeling is that it is a drivetrain issue, but I'd be grateful for your help and ideas...

Seems like a lot of work to take all these off, any problem with running the new line over the...

    Bit of a judder when slowing C350

    So I've recently got a C350 CDI and noticed when I'm driving then slowing down, it shudders when the car gets down to 3rd, 2nd gears before stopping, not massively, but noticeably. Almost like it's about to stall if it were a manual. Normal behaviour for a Merc automatic?
