    This can also cause misfires or engine knock if there's not enough voltage going through the system due to not enough tension on the drivebelt.

    Mercedes Benz c class 180 kompressor 2005 petrol
    Code reading p201c mixture format self adaptation (fuel trim)
    It takes about 5 seconds to start it struggles.
    Drive can be sluggish at times and petrol drinks like its a joke did 55miles with £30 petrol.
    I left this problem for 2 to 3 weeks it had no engine light on after a few weeks gone by the engine light came on
    And got the codes no one knew the problem and still dont
    I noticed since my car went low on fuel it started straight away with no struggle and the performance was excellent and drive was smooth
    When i put half a tank of petrol in it took 3 seconds to start when i left me car parked on low fuel over night the next day the engine light came off

    My problem started recently after putting on a new belt. OEM was bando, Japanese belt. But I put a Goodyear belt that cost half the price. It squeaks a little when cold and slips when hot and accelerating or starting car. It's a quick jump. It only slips when accelerating but once it picks up steam it doesn't slip at all.

    since I'm replacing the belt, can I lubricate that tensioner pulley (not the belt of course) with some kind of lithium grease spray or something else? I'm not having any issue with noise or anythiing, just replacing the belt at 70k as its showing a bit of wear.

    • @allmycarsisbroke
      @allmycarsisbroke ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thicker oil is never the solution to anything. There are a lot of different things that could be causing your issue and the proper way to find out is to take it to a licensed mechanic for diagnostic. It's worth the money to pay for professional diagnosis because if you just listen to random strangers on the internet, you will end up spending more money anyway, as you'll be buying parts and wasting your time or someone else's time trying to do the repair yourself and doing it incorrectly, or replacing parts that haven't failed. Nobody here has seen or touched your car and there is simply no way we could tell you what's wrong with it. Anyone who claims to know the problem without seeing or hearing your car in person is not someone you should trust.
