Intermittent rough engine idle while cold
Hi all,
My 2010 W212 E250 CGI has an intermittent issue. Maybe once a week, before the engine reaches the working temperature,
when I stop in traffic after a few hundred meter drive, then engine shakes for 10 seconds or so or until I press the accelerator.
This happens only while the engine is still cold. Took it to Mercedes a couple of times, but it never happened while the car was
with them. Last time, ironically, it happened to me at the first traffic light as I was driving the car away from service centre.
Also worth mentioning:
1. Noticed that revs drop pretty quickly after I start the car. It takes about 20 seconds to drop from over 1000 rpm to about 650 rpm.
2. Worth mentioning that the engine sometimes takes 2 minutes to reach working temperature and sometimes it takes 14 minutes.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks
Milo
