Help needed for c200 cdi problem!!!

[bigiqi]

hi guys, i have a problem with my car was wondering if anybody out there could give me a solution please. ok my car is a c200 cdi on a 05 reg. a few days back i started to have a problem with the fuses. each time i went to start the car the fuse would blow the fuse was a 15 amp after blowing 5 i replaced it with a 30 amp fuse it has not blown that since but i cannot start the car sometimes. i turn the key and nothing then if i leave it for about 20mins or so it will start but then when i drive the car after 15mins of driving i start to lose power and the car will not go over 3000rpm. anybody out there that can help me please?

Was it fuse 51, left rear in the fuse board as you look at it (front SAM) ?

If so then the starter is on its way out, the starter fuse should be 20amp on all C/E classes, MB did a recall some years ago for this,
