Hello, I don't know what is wrong with my merc. It is a C200 Sport 95 model. When stationary the engine is tapping like mad. When I put my foot down the acceleration is so slow! and it sounds like it is revving really really high when it isn't (well it might be, the dial does not say so though). I used to get to 120mph no time, now it is struggling to make 80mph in about 5 minutes lol. I am still using it to get around but it sounds like death. If I put my foot down it revs real high but still pulls so so slow. This all started after I drove to London at 90mph for 1hr 30mins each way with 5 people in the car. I assumed the slowness was due to having a lot of people aboard but not the case as it is still the same now. Please help =(

Unfortunately, Mercedes was plagued with electrical problems back in the 90's. Get it to a dealer and hope for the best.

This could be due to the fuel pump, Injectors or worse you could have some internal problems such as a bad cam or rod bearings, bad valves and so on. If you engine temp is staying within the normal range I would first start by having the fuel pump checked then go from there. I'm assuming you have not put the wrong fuel in the vehicle right?

sounds like it wants a tuneup Pronto.
