How to fix a rough starting Mercedes Benz 2005 C230 Kompressor

Asked by Jerry Jun 21, 2020 at 08:26 PM about the 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 230 Kompressor Supercharged Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When I start the car up after it’s sat overnight it
rattles, putts, jerks for awhile then it catches. I can
start it and go after that.

1 Answer

Sounds like timing chain and tensioner on their way out. Inspect chain, guides, and tensioner.
