Problem c450 help
I’m having a problem with my Mercedes C450 AMG. The car used to run fine, but for some time now, when I lift off the accelerator, there’s a noise coming from the left side of the engine, as if something were loose. At the workshop they told me it’s something related to the turbo — the linkage/rods — and that the turbo needs to be replaced.
Also, when I try to do a 0–100 launch, the car goes into limp mode and loses power. We even tried changing the tune/remap, but it still does the same thing. At this point I don’t know what else to do.
And to make matters worse, we changed the water pump and the thermostat, but sometimes the oil temperature and coolant temperature drop, and it takes a while for them to stabilize.
The car pulls well and accelerates strongly during normal driving. It regains speed without any problem. The issue only happens when I try to use launch control.
I feel really frustrated. I keep replacing parts, but we still can’t figure out what the problem is. I’m from Spain.
