Mercedes CLK Diesel Engine Problems

Whoa that sounds rough I had a similar problem with my CLK Check for a vacuum leak near the manifold My manifold pressure readings were all over the place and I was getting engine misfires like crazy Could be a simple gasket leak Have you checked that

Thanks for the quick reply Can you tell me how you found the vacuum leak What diagnostic steps did you use or were there things you could see

I tried doing it myself with smoke tests and carb cleaner but it was a pain The leak was so small I just took it to a mechanic They said it was a gasket leak in the intake manifold causing manifold pressure issues Getting it properly diagnosed is the best way to avoid problems

I appreciate the input It seems a professional diagnosis is the best thing to do I'll book it in with my mechanic and let you know what they find Your experience confirms what I thought Thanks again for the advice
