[huwdavis]

Hello - can anyone help me please. I have an E320CDI 91,000 miles - it's juddering when the negine cpomes under strain. It's just been in to merceds in Derby and has two new injectors, an oil leak on the auto transnission fixed and a new crankshaft position sensor. this cost £1492. The troubkle is it's still juddering a little bit so the problem is not really fixed. It will go back to Mercedes of course now.

One of my mates siad it might ne the airflow meter - I don't know.

I would like to try to find a mercedes specialist who can help me to fix this - I love the car and don;t really want to get rid just yet.

Does anyione know an undependant Merc specialst who could help me - pref near Derby
Thanks in advamce
Regards
Huw Davis

This model also had a problem with coolant /glycol contamination in the autobox, this would also cause vibration on acceleration..its worth having the gearbox fluid checked...

This depends on 210 or 211

OK I should have said many, but this guy has had a rough deal, £1410 and still the same

Sorry television didnt mean to sound abrupt but some people judge all dealers the same ,I 100% agree with television you have been given a very rough deal they should not have given you the car back problem unsolved and £1410 out of pocket.Sorry cant give anymore helpfull advise would go back to dealer.

Juddering..

As far as I know the radiator problems affect the 211 and not the w210.

The W210 has a corrosion issue which affects the front crossmember. I also understand engine mountings can be an issue too. I would get these checked too.

Many of the independents know more about older cars, main dealers in city areas tend to offload cars at about 6ok and not to have much to do with them.

There is a list of indies somewhere on this site which I believe TV (Malcolm) pulled together perhaps he can help with the location you should be able to source someone from that list.

Ireland is not easy, though I hope to find one or two

I've had rad/torque convertor problems on 210 as well as 211, not so many tho.

Is that because of a leaking rad, I suppose any rad could spring a leak

well oil cooler in rad, coolant in gearbox and knackered lock up clutch in toque convertor.
