Mercedes W211 E200 2008
2008 E200 W211 lack of power
Hi guys, would appreciate some help with a E200 W211 (diesel).
the car is from 2008 but has been driven as a taxi in Norway for 4 years, so has lots of miles.
Although it was a bargain for Norwegian prices, it came with some small issues that I'm still fixing. Biggest problem was lack of power. Basically when climbing hills or when power was needed, it seemed the power was not there, like not enough fuel was reaching the engine and car was caughting every second. Plus rev counter twitching about 100rpms up and down every sevond.
After replacing fuel filter, symptoms decreased but the rev problem is still there and when on very steep hills the car lacks power. Strangely on flat roads don't see any symptoms at any speed. Car looks great and is great to drive, only have this problems pending.
Any ideas what needs replacing? Thanks
