lately my 190 has started to run not as good as it has been. it feels like a real lack of power, acceleration and handling. i wasnt sure what section to put this under but i figured this would be good enough.i cant work out if its engine related, regards servicing, or is it something along the lines of the handling and drivetrain. maybe somebody could shed some light on this for me. thks |

Your lack of power is unlikely to be drivetrain or suspension related. What conditions are you experiencing problems? Pulling away, hard accel etc? |

yeah its mainly when pulling away, accel has gotten worse and very heavy.also the front shudders over 100km, which i presume is wheel balance.i have also noticed is has gotten harder to start than before. |

I would be looking at air filter and ignition components first of all. the front shuddering could be wheel balance especially if it clears at higher speed. |

Hi jack you car up and check if your wheels spin freely, could be a sticking caliper Or after a drive put your hands on each wheel and see if one is hotter than the rest! |
