Check Engine Light-lights Up Twice...TSK!
duhhh....my Check Engine Light turned up again today. Havent used d car for about two days, now, i started the engine cold, floored it a little coz i was in a hurry....and.....behold! Check Engine Light ON. The engine was shaking, so i turned it off after about 2kms from home, switched it on, engines running well again. This thing has happened TWICE in about four months.....same conditions. It seems i need to have the engine warmed up a few seconds first, before driving off, otherwise....Idiot lights keep on turning. My A160 before also did this rough idling stuff when not used for a few days.......... seems MB engines r no good eh???? From my experience, MB engines need to be driven everyday, otherwise, all sorts of weird things happen. The more u drive it, the better it runs, but once u store it.......engine becomes haunted.

It's unfair to single out the MB engine as being no good, it's the whole car. If you want to see what's wrong check out these two inexpensive obd2 scanners;
