  • I have replaced the fuel head and rubber gaiter and there is no positive improvement

· Three different Mercedes garages have investigated with no positive answer to the problem.
I love this car can anyone out there help? Asp

The car runs well on normal roads, the problem starts when I climb hills and not very steep hills. It then looses speed and power dramatically.
According to mechanic and quote “not enough petrol is delivered through the fuel head due the piston not operating properly”

What is a rubber gaiter?
