Hi all, This is my first post and my first benz purchase, im having a feel around after ditching BMW. i do like it but im having some issues and am hoping one of the pro's here can help me. i've read quite a few posts and couldn't find anything related exactly so decided to start a new thread.
the car is a auto box 2001 203 c180 160 miles classic converted to lpg
Ok, here it goes folks,
The engine would first when i bought it 2 weeks ago start after kicking several times, maybe 10 seconds. now its basically a nightmare, i will start but after many attempts, sometimes it will start on the 2nd attempt an sometimes on the fifth. The garage said it could be compression, but im not sure.
whilst driving if i put my foot down it doesn't make a difference it still carry's on accelerating at its own pace completely ignoring me for at least 7 seconds then it realizes my foot is fully pushed and gives the wallop. feels like the there is no power.
I would greatly appreciate any advice and guidance regarding these issues.
please note im no good with mechanics at the moment but am willing to learn.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
