Engine dies at 3500rpm in 1st gear
What now????
My engine seems to virtually cut out under full acceleration in 1st gear at around 3500 rpm.
It seems fine if I use the car in 'W' which exculdes 1st gear. Acceleration through the rest of the gears seems fine too.
I've never been 100% sure about the gearbox after having a few strange problems over the last six months.
Has anybody got any ideas? Would the MAF sensor cut power if it's faulty??
Gettin fed up with these iritating problems, thought a Mercedes would be better than this. Maybe it's M5 time?...

I hear your pain, but man , if you're looking for a diagnosis more info from the patient is needed.Before I would ask for help I would at least provide the following : mileage,approxiamate mileage on the spark plugs - if known,last time fuel filter was changed,IF the mas was changed,last time air filter was changed - if known, last time tranny was serviced-if known.All these items relate to the performance of your vehicle.Help us out,and we'll help you out.

OK, £700 later, two engine mounts, a gearbox mount and a new MAF sensor and I'm a happy man!!!
No more cut outs, a new found zest for speed and the car is finally running like the 354bhp suggests it should!!!
It took a while (7 months) but it's now that AMG I dreamed about!!
