Acceleration issue diesel

..... · 5th September 2012, 05:05

Mates diesel has slowly developed a random acceleration issue.
There is a brief delay from pressing the accelerator pedal to the car reaching full acceleration. The issue occurs in every gear. The issue is totally random on any given journey, ranging from very noticeable to not happening at all.

Any ideas?

On the diesels it is always worth unplugging the MAF to see if it improves matters since it is easy to do and costs nothing.

as above try the maf first it costs nowt.after that if no joy i would suspect the throttle electrical mech .as there is no cable on these being fly by wire.

MAF starting to break down would be my thoughts also!

My old SLK 320 and C 240 started doing exactly the same and they were both MAF problems!

Well if it was your car I'd suggest that you and Barney change your trainers, as the grip has probably worn out on the ones you are wearing.
