Hi I have a 2010 CLC180 kompressor manual Petrol. Trying to figure out why there is no boost from supercharger when the engine warms up. From cold start it runs fine and supercharger works until the engine warms up. Once warm boost from supercharger stops and it’s very sluggish,heavy, no acceleration

(mpg seems low to me - getting approx 250mile out of a tank. Car shows averaging under 20mpg)

There are currently know codes showing through obd2 or snap on diag machine.

Have already replaced maf sensor and pre cat lambda sensor initially issue were pointing to these. Doing this removed the codes PO171 P201C - powertrain

I’ve had the car at a German car specialist that checked vacuum emissions etc but couldn’t find anything. Thought I’d put it out on here before booking into Mercedes.

Any other info I’ve missed let me know

Rather than take it to Mercedes (who will likely charge a fortune starting with "that will need diagnostics first at £160") if you tell us where you are we can probably suggest a reputable independent to sort it for you.

The place you used wasn't an MB specialist as they were using Snap On not Star (MB factory diagnostics).
MB may fix it but given the vehicle age I wouldn't hold my breath. MB tend to not want to know about anything more than 5 years old.
