E200 estate

[JamesNeil]

Hello, since I have owned my car it has always been a little slow in kicking into gear but a full service has so far got rid of this. Now my car is doing less mpg than before and feels a little sluggish, the gears are behaving well but it does not feel right. Any ideas?

HT leads perhaps

what was replaced on the full service?

 

[JamesNeil]

Thank you Mercmonkey

Thank you Mercmonkey but I have to assume the HT leads are OK as my local garage is very good. I have carried out an mpg check on my car and it is doing approx. 27 mpg, this is not so good compared to my previous BMW which did a steady 35 mpg but the Merc is a much heavier car I suppose this may be correct although I was hoping for around 30 mpg. What do you think?

I would have said 27 mpg is OK and all 200's that I have known from year one got this figure. This is a cold time of the year and I think you will do a little better as the weather picks up.The car is heavy as you say.

The more Anti virus programs I have the slower the computer runs to the point that my Emails stopped, I feel convinced that the anti virus pruduct maker's pay people to invent bugs, so they can say "Killed that worm"
