2006 - C180 Kompressor - Aceleration Loss

Hi all!

About 3 weeks ago, the car lost acelleration, last week it got back to it's normal behaviour but yesterday it lost it again... Has this happened to anyone?

Thank you!

Have you tried scanning for trouble codes in the Engine Control Module?

I agree with smgak. If you cannot scan the car, I suggest that you start by examining the supercharger "plumbing." I've had two instances of low power on my 2005 C230 which I believe has a similar engine to the one in your car. (In the U.S. we couldn't purchase a C180, and the 2006 C230 had a 6-cylinder engine.)

One time I had an intermittent fault that I repaired by replacing the O-rings in the supercharger pipes. The second time, the problem was caused by a hose that had developed a split. You can read about the second problem with the hose here.

Good luck resolving your problem.
