REPLY: BOTH actually, pedal hard to press and slow to respond from a stop ... once traveling it's very smooth.

Most likely related.



Please explain "must prime to start". I didn't think the gas models had a primer pump. Also, does the car smoke at all? If so, what color smoke and under what conditions. How does the exhaust smell?
REPLY: no smoke at all


REPLY: German mechanic (worked at MB there) said to pump the pedal a few times before starting it or hold the pedal down when turning the key. Works.
