it's the kickdown switch or relay that's at fault

although I'm not too sure how to test it. Search the site on Kickdown and see what comes up

Try adjusting the length of the throttle cable. When I bought my C220D, it was a real slug and sometimes refused to kick down. I thought it was just a really slow old diesel, but when I adjusted the cable, (right hand side of engine right at the back just under the corner of the bonnet), it went like **** off a stick, for a diesel, that is.
