Rev needle jumping on same speed
Hey!
Posted this on another forum but it seems is pretty dead, ill try here again
I have been on a google nightmare and cant find any answers on my "problem"
I bought this car about 2 month ago and I starting to notice that the rev needle is jumping up and down while driving. For example;
I drive on a flat highway, set speed limiter at 110km/h (60mp/h) and I notice rev needle keep going 1800>1700>1800>1700 etc. Is this normal? If not, what can cause this problem?
It have recently been through a full service at mercedes, new oil etc.
I have also noticed when ive stoped with car in idle, that sometimes, rarely thought, I feel a quick shake in the car. Like the engine shakes for 0.5 secs. Feels like the car "moves". I thought it was because of that massive engine, but now im not sure. Ive tried calling the car dealer but the seller is very hard to get in touch with. Telling me to call back later etc.
I got summer tires on and its minus outside so can't take it anywhere at the moment, but I have s video of the rev jumping if it will help.
Cheers!

I had this happen on a early 2000s car I had and I’m struggling to remember exactly what caused it. I thought it was a sensor of some sort. IAC maybe? Trying to help but I cannot remember exactly what the cause was.

Ahh I see, this is a 2013 and i have indeed stumble on some issues on google regarding the sensors. But it wasnt solved so I dunno what the solution was in the end. Im hoping for sensors though(?) since it seems like the fastest fix? The "shake" that sometimes happends is normal for these cars then? I hope there isnt anything with the engine...

Just want to add that cruise control only helps me to see the rev flutter better, but it still happends if I control the speed with my foot aswell. Here is a video of it:

Looks like I have the exact same issue!
Mine is a 2012 P31 too. Did you resolve your issue ever?
