W212 E350cdi blueeff judder

[Todd117]

Evening everyone.

Searched a few threads but can’t find anything with a definite answer.

My 2010 E350cdi Blueeff auto has developed a judder between 1500rpm and 2000rpm under light acceleration. It gets progressively worse as the car warms up from barley noticeable to significant. It feels like flywheel judder but with it being auto I’m not sure how it’s all laid out. More noticable uphill.

No codes displayed by the way.

Any ideas?

I was thinking possibly:
Engine/gearbox mounts?
Gearbox needs a service?
Drive shaft issues?
Wheel balance?

Cheers

I’m going to try call them tomorrow and see if they can provide more info on what type of work has been done to the car all I have is it’s mileage and what type of work Was done aka “service” “non service” “recall”

Yes I agree was just trying to think of things that could be out of balance that might upset it

Not seen much of torque converters needing to be replaced. could changing the oil help? Sounds costly
