Few problems on my W203 C200 CDI :(

Hi everyone, I have been having a few problems on my 2004 C200 CDI.

1) Occasionally car wobbles/judders when driving uphill, feels like it will stall (but an auto transmission).
2) Noticeable but faint black smoke under acceleration.
3) Ride seems to be quite crashy, e.g. loud thumps when going over bumps and not as smooth as before.
4) Was advised to replace worn rubber bushings? Does that tie in with poor ride quality?

Welcome to MBWorld.

Suggest you also try posting this in the w203 subforum to see if any other w203 owners have ran into the same issue and potentially resolved:
