  • Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe - Mercedes C320 2001 Suddenly lost power in drive 20 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    Sounded a bit "whirry" - like a high powered sewing machine - when turned on and ran ok for about 15 miles, then suddenly lost all power. The engine revved but there was no drive. Had to stop and turn off the car, hope for power when put in drive but when I got it, it seemed only for 100m and then the car slowly came to a standstill again. Is this a common problem? The diagnostics were going mad with many many error codes, but I am aware that it might be one component failing and causing them all.
