A strange thing happened last night.
I've had my E320 for about 6 weeks now & most of the driving has been very gentle stuff, motorways, drifting around town, rarely going over 3000rpm.
Last night I stomped on the pedal & decided to see what it would do flat out.
Once the engine hit about 4500rpm it started to stutter & shake quite badly, and the revs wouldn't go higher. I eased off the power straight away and slowed down, but there was still a vibration (even at idle) & a noticeable loss of power, so I pulled off the road & turned off the engine. No warning lights on the dashboard or anything like that.
When I turned the engine back on again, the vibration had disappeared & the loss of power was gone too. Engine running as sweet as a nut again - and it still is.
I tried to replicate what had happened a couple of times, but to no avail - revved beyond 5000 with no trouble.
Any idea what might have caused it? Should I be concerned? Is it likely to be some kind of electronic glitch?
