I would look at fuel quality or delivery. Sounds like fuel system may be vapor locking and or bleeding off. The fuel filter on your car is due for replacement at 5yr or 60K mi. It contains the fuel pressure regulator on it. I would start
there by replaing the fuel filter and trying different fuel.
Verfiy pressure at the fuel rail. 3.8-4.1 bar is spec.

Think the dealer is expensive? Do you know how much it costs to train a dealer tech? Or buy the required MB special tools to have on hand?
