Mercedes-Benz C180k coupe won't idle properly
My Dad's 2004 C180k coupe is running rough at idle, but runs perfectly when driving. He has had new injectors fitted and an air mass meter but the problem persists. Have you any ideas what else could be the problem?

Ref the review of the 2007 to 2012 C class; under good and bad I see there are problems with leakage of glycol into the auto fluid and also a problem with the transmission valve control body. Can you confirm...
I'm thinking of buying a used Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG for around £30k. I will only use the car at weekends and will cover 5000 a year. Does this car have any known issues?
My Mercedes-Benz C-Class has cracked the oil pipes on the gearbox. I ran out of oil and broke down. Will this have coursed damage to the gearbox?

A big improvement on the previous C-Class. Feels well built and robust. Very comfortable and refined. High quality ride. Good CDI diesels.
