Hello again all,

A new problem for me to try and work out on my 52 reg 220cdi auto C Class. All of a sudden today going up hill and power seemed to go from the accelerator. Gears all changed okay, and it was accelerating but almost without any turbo. No warning lights on at all. Stopped turned off engine restarted and drove away no probs. On the way home on m-way all of a sudden at 80 same thing happned. Could maintain speed but get to uphill section and only accelerates very slowly, basically like there is no turbo, and had no kickdown throughout all this.
Again stopped, turned off and on, gave the engine a good rev and everything was fine, drove the rest of the way home with no probs at all. Still no warning signs. Going to try again tomorow and see what happens. Anything obvious that i am missing? As always all advice is much appreciated

It should be the MAF filter, your symptons fit the bill.

No, nothing happens other than the power falling off and slowly getting worse.

No harm will be done. Much cheaper to get the insert from Bosch and fit it inside your plastic housing
