This video is describing recent problems with my 2013 Mercedes Benz c250 w204 Turbocharged. Goes into turbo problems acceleration problems spark plugs & throttle body. Simple fixes
The turbo lag just made the car feel unsafe to me. Especially when changing lanes on a busy freeway. I ended up upgrading to an E class
Does anyone realise he's driving with no seat belt the entire video while explaining all this
I have this problem right now, when I hit the gaz the car doesnt have power as usual, but I still dont know how to fix it. Brother how you fix it, please write it down here
Hey guys I really need some help here I’m living in Jamaica I own a 2013 c 250 I recently experienced the same issue with the car pulling back violently and limp out check engine light, I went and ordered a replacement on Amazon recently installed car did the same thing I’m kinda frustrated right now cost me $400 usd need help any advice 🙏
Man I’m only finding this video after I’ve already fixed this issue. TH-cam is really messing with me.💀 But yes to anybody who finds this video, spark plugs / ignition coils going bad in your car can look like a transmission problem and give you a lot of anxiety ( at least it did for me).
Hey my c250 cgi have issue is vibrate when the car go slow uphill any idea or experienxe to solve this problem?
Any time for a misfire on one of these 2013 mercedes c250?
That seat belt chime! Couldn't watch the whole video 😔
My C250 is almost 10 years old now with 117K miles. I’ve owned it for around 8 years. I bought a decent diagnostic code tool. I’ve been getting a Cylinder 1 misfire. I replaced all the spark plugs to 0.032 gap. And switched coil plug 1 and 4. Code changed to a cylinder 4 misfire. I went ahead, ordered and replaced all coils. I bought good quality set for $160. MB OEM are over $75 each. Well my car is running great now. I can get the engine to rev up with no issues again. I’m planning on giving it a good scheduled maintenance at 120K. Transmission flush, Brake fluid flush, Oil Change, air filter and so on. I just replaced the radiator and radiator cooling fan at 100K around 6 months ago.
I have a c320 CDI and when I accelerate I hear like the car is loosing air, the sound can be heard well from the right side of the driver ! Any ideas ???
I will be honest i did this job a few days ago on the same engine didnt need to take any of the hoses out if you have an extension for the wrench it should be pretty straight forward
Hey I have a 2008 Mercedes c350 for some reason I feel like I’m getting lack of power. When I come to a complete stop sign I hear a very small light shaking or rattling noise in my car is eating gas very bad do you know the reason
I can not say specifically what it is, only because I would need to hear the sound and feeling myself. If you have high mileage it could be anything. Sparks, coils, fuel pump, timing system, fuel injectors, throttle, etc… you gotta diagnose by reading the live data with a scan tool
Thank you for sharing. Good info
Haha. I think you have a seatbelt fault. Lol
My 2013 C250 had the same problem and I thought the transmission was about to break thanks to your video I changed the spark plugs and air filter and now it works super and smooth thanks brother

This tip saved me hours of getting the belt back on, I’m by myself so the tip of putting a nail in that hole to hold the tensioner back was a life saver!
p061b-96 I got this error code while I was getting the diagnostic done on my 2013 c250. I got it done from Pep Boys and not Mercedes dealership. I really dk why it's giving that error as the car runs smooth. The description on the error was " The torque calculation of the control unit has a malfunction. There is an internal component fault".
Good, morning my car W203 m271 engine shakes when is on p and on d have no power to accelerate and I open to see the spark plugs have some oil diagnostic says 2-3 cylinder fail may I have the same issue?
Spark plugs are consumables. They should be changed every B Service. Change all plugs at the same time.
Bro, I have a C180, I changed the Spark Plugs and still have a stutter around 15-20 MPH. Will be cleaning the throttle body hopefully this weekend to see it fixes the issues.
How’d it go did u end up replacing or cleaning your air filter aswell?
@@dusanmatic6259 Replaced air intakes pipe and replaced the air mass sensor. Now its better, just stutters on cold start but when warm no stutters. OH yeah.. also did Engine and Gearbox full service.
.032 gap
Thanks, I thought my transmission was going out🥂
My car only accelerated in park but not in drive
Could you be a little bit more clear? I'm confused? Your car can only accelerate in Drive or Reverse... Are you trying to say that you can rev your motor in park or neutral. basically your mercedes is not driveable? connect computer/scanner and check for codes from service engine light
Hey there I have a 2013 C250 w204 coupe and I am having some issues with acceleration. Especially when in traffic it struggles to pick up unless I shift it down myself. Also, I have a weird idle going on as well. It bounces up and down just cruising or even at a stoplight BTW I have changed my air filter(stock), valve cover gasket (bc it was leaking), and just spark plugs. IDK what it is, there is no check engine light either. could someone have a solution or idea? please i would love to know!!!!
Replace the high pressure fuel pump and the fuel pressure sensor
@@danish580 I already got got that done too
Yep same here bro…cla 250 not pushin like it used 2
Ty you for this post! Having same issue here. Just did a basic tune. Spark plugs and had a bad coil. My air intake looks good. I did notice this after I installed my Dinan tuner. Gonna attempt to pull the throttle body and clean it myself. What spray or cleaner do you recommend. Seems something I can due before I go deep into my pockets.
Yep! Throttle body is easy to do, just gonna need a r25 torx bit if I’m correct for the 4 screws, adjust intake out of the way and some connections going to throttle body. You can use throttle body cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
Do you know about c200 kompressor
yes, what issues?
It sounds like you have an exhaust on your car how does it sound and also what did you do to it? Do you get any dct shift sounds ?
Mercedes are not any more luxury cars. body is worst. do not buy again.
Am interested in the burger tuning thing you spoke about, how does that work bro
hey 2013 Mercedes benz c250 bought brand new from dealership 55,000KMs don't drive that often. Had the jerking problems goes into LIMP MODE. Shut the car off sometimes dosent turn on. Send it to the mechanics they said my electronic plate is faulty changed that , changed tranny oils etc cost me $2300. got the car back today dosent go into limp mode anymore but i feel when i drive the revs is going higher then it should be and when i floor it the revs going way higher then it should anyone knows whats the go with this please help me
Its hard to tell, could be normal now that you have everything fixed. maybe not. Have you tried to reset the TCU? The transmission shift points may change high or low depending on the driver as in these mercedes they have adaptive learning on these transmissions. I Personally reset mine every 2 weeks-1month. You can really feel the difference everytime you reset it. Look up video on how to do it, there are many videos and its very easy and quick to do. hope this helps if not get back to me if this does not solve the problem!
I just test drove a 2013 mb c250 with 72k miles. The car was ultra clean and looked brand new, handled well, but it felt really sluggish. I was really hoping to like it but I don't know what to think. Are these cars somewhat sluggish?
The cars TCU probably hasnt been reset, it adaptive, and changes shift points to driver... I actually reset mine every week to two weeks and it makes the car feel new again, it takes only a few minutes to reset it and requires no special tools or taking anything apart. many videos on how to reset the adaptive driving and make the car not feel sluggish anymore!
@@ZachBuddhahigh Thank you very much for your response.
Hi there.. is this car a gas guzzler? We own a 2012 and we are getting really poor mpg. Wondering if you'd is do to spark plugs.. gear ratio... We also get a jerk from first to second gear when car is cold.. I have seen a drop in 1000rpm before it engages to second. Any thoughts? Thanks.
If you are guzzling gas, then you have a problem. It could be spark plugs, clean throttle body, clean air intake or get a high flow intake or intake filter. High pressure fuel pump could be possibly bad, it's common on these. Make sure you are changing the oil every 3000-5000. These c250s have turbochargers and I have taken automotive training on turbochargers, they require more care, and more frequent oil changes. Also you do not want to be driving the car when it's on cold start. Allow the motor and turbo charger to warm up for 2-5 mins when you first start the car for the day. This allows time for the car to reach operating temperature and and gives it enough time for the oil to pressurize and lubricate the turbo and engine components. It's jerks if you do not allow it to warm up. You are shortening the life of the motor internals , turbo, etc... When you give no time for the car to warm up. Make sure you are running 0w40 or 5w40 full synthetic oil, 91+ premium gas. Keep up with preventive maintenance spark plugs, oil changes, coolant flushes, air filter, seals and gaskets, throttle body cleaning, fuel treatment. Also check your engine timing if you can, besides the high pressure fuel pump on these going bad, they are also know for the camshaft adjusters to be faulty, which causes poor fuel efficiency, timing chain rattle, incorrect engine timing, loss of power, engine codes. Camshaft adjusters should have a warranty to 120k if they fail, depending on the dealership near you. But overall keep up with maitnance, inspect your fluids, hoses, electrical connections etc....
Check ur inlet Air gasket
Really sound advice,. I’m experiencing the same problems with turbo lag so I’ll give it a go. Thanks.
I did actually the same thing.. Much better.. Thanks Dude 👌
Hi. Please Some one can help me by explaining this tuto in french ? please
Good to know. I'll be checking this out later today.
Zach, does this apply to CLA 250 also?
You can apply this to many models
Forget K&N. all that oil is disastrous for your engine. Use only paper or dry fabric filters. Weistec is a good option using woven cotton. Definitely better and won’t mess up you mass air flow sensor with oil.
False. This is a c250, it does not have a Mass Air Flow sensor, only has a Map Sensor, which cannot be harmed by the filter oil. Will not damage your motor either. If this was a non-turbo with a MAF, then I would agree. But its not, Its a turbocharged motor with a MAP.
2013 c250 coupe sport Code: P0301 P0017. On take off: can’t accelerate passed 10 quick without it shaking/ power loss. Cruising: Stutter, can’t accelerate fast. 50+ cruising: Smooth ride, but when coming to a stop, it will start to jump, (RPM will dance). -car does not die. Idle: smooth, RPM sits at around 7-800.
You could have a vacuum leak, but these cars have two common problems one is failure of the High Pressure Fuel Pump, and Camshaft Adjusters. Both can cause problems. High pressure fuel pump will cause most of the problems you listed. Mine has failed and I have not replaced it, so I make sure to change my oil/filter and add a full can of seafoam every 3k. It has really helped with the HPFP failure. Also good to keep your fuel tank above half full, everytime I fill up completely with 93 premium it does not stutter or go into limp mode anymore. Will have more info available soon or do a video regarding these problems in detail
Hey do you fix cars? I have the same issue.
Lol
