Minor vibration on C240
Hi
I notice that when I just started my C240 from cold and drive it, the car makes minor vibration and only noticeable at the speed of 30 mph or lower. The vibration doesn't dissapear even if i put the manual gear in neutral and the car rolls by itself (engine is idling). I can say it doesn't seem to come from the engine. It feels like you are going through a rough surface. This doesn't happend after everything (engine, gearbox, differential etc etc) warms up. Anybody else experience this?
Thanks,

On occasion I notice a slight vibration in my C240 when first driving, although it doesn't happen all the time. Some people have said the tires may have a flat spot after parking all night, and this subsides after driving. Since it is very intermittent I haven't mentioned it during a service visit.

Brilliant Silver C240
Same with my C240
I too have occasionally felt slight vibrations in the steering wheel after a cold start. But they go away after a little while. Though they are not particularly troubling, I will ask about it during my next service visit.
