I have a 2003 C230 Coupe with the 1.8l and a 6-speed manual. Last fall, I had teh car into the dealer, b/c it would shake violently at an idle, and then the check engine light came on.
Now 6 months later it just did the same thing. Int the past month, I have replaced the door lock actuator, had it in for service and engine software upgrade and now this. I have been lucky so far b/c of warranty, but I believe the car to be vastly inferior to the Japanese. My Lexus GS300 is a 2001, and gives no problems.
Is this problem with the shaking/engine light common?
