No problem Pete, thanks for the reply! From what I've seen, this is THE Mercedes Forum on the whole interweb I'm also aware that a lot of members here are experienced mechanics and know their *****


UPDATE on this problem:

Well, today I replaced the throttle body (I bought one used on eBay) and it completly solved my engine cutting problem! It is now softer than cotton!

The new TB has the correct and original part number for my engine.
Looks like this was my lucky day...


Cheers.
