Hi
First post i think on here.
I have a question, maybe a simple one.
Car - C270CDI auto saloon, 53plate
New manifold fitted in March.
Intermediate / Oil change Service done in June.
The car is still running rough, now takes a few seconds to start after cranking it, whereas before it was instantaneous.
This morning sitting in traffic, warm-ish weather, noticed the smell of oil burning, noticed temp is hitting about 95degrees or so at idle/standstill, pulled over, popped to bonnet, seemed like a small oil stain on the engine cover near the front, just where the long windy belt is, and then noticed the wisps of smoke.
Smoke is obvious where the oil is burning. But the question is 95degrees seems high for an idle speed temp - does anyone know what it typically should be? I seem to vaguely remeber that its always around the 80 mark or so, but i cant be sure. Its never been that high.
Does this indicate i should take it back to the servicing dealer?
The fans were off, the aircon was off, all was normal ... except these wisps of smoke now appearing from the front of the bonnet and the whiff of burning oil smell.
