just got a new 2006 c280 luxury. great car

only bad thing so far is that it shudders at idling sometimes. does anyone know what is causing this?

thanks

Could be the gas you are using..

I agree; these new V6s are strong, smooth and highly responsive. I drove the 2006 C2804M and a 2005 C3204M back-to-back and my choice was clear: go with the C280 4Matic.

Hey, Congrats on your new 280...I guess I should of waited!

My 2404M did sort of what your describing today.

I came to a stop at a light and it felt like a strong vibration (shake, or shudder have you) I felt the shaking through the entire car, especially the brakes. I let go of the brake a little to get some gas flowing to the engine as I was scared it would stall out....any ideas??

couple of things to keep in mind

I jsut filled up my tank yesterday afternoon at mobil (filled last three tanks at the same mobil previously and no problems)

Today was the coldest day so far (56F) but car was warmed up.

Drove car around a little bit after this happened, shut it off for 30 minutes, drove around a little more and can't repeat the problem.

RPMS did not move

Congrats and welcome!

I get the shuddering on my C230K as well! What gives?
