Hello and thanks in advance for any suggestions with regard to this issue.
Our A-Class 160CDI SE has now competed some 112,000 miles and is 06 registered.
I regularly swap from summer to winter tyres.
In late April we switched back to the summer set of tyres and soon afterwards began experiencing a heavy vibration through the car if we accelerated hard.
I have had the Star read out performed and no codes are showing.
My garage has checked all the usual areas, engine mounts, wheels and tyres etc and the report is all OK.
They have a wish to check the passenger side drive shaft but I have put off spending more money on diagnostics until I shared this with all Mercedes Club forum users.
The fuel consumption is normal. Just the driving experience is poor. Pick up seems sluggish - you have to really put your foot down. On an incline the vibrations seem worse. There doesn't seem to be a speed or gear being used that shows the problem over any other time.
The car is feeling like a bag of nails and I wonder if any other owners have experienced this problem ?
