1984 Mercedes Benz 280sel Sluggish
Engine Performance problem
1984 Mercedes Benz 280sel 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 316831 miles
What is the problem, when the car battles to accelerate. There seems to be power on the onset but when it changes into third with gas pedal fully depressed it struggles to pickup more speed. Really sluggish
