Hi guys.... and gals.
So I recently bought a Mercedes E240 2003 model and totally love it. The dealer done some work on it for me before it was passed by COR (like control arms, brakes, lights etc). I have tinted the windows and had it Glazed as well, not to mention a valet. I now have to change the power steering pump and its making a huge noise. I have already ordered one from Durbs - R2750, and a mech form Mercedes will install it for me.

What I have noticed is a vibration at 2000rpm and sometimes jerking. This happens when drive slow. Also it feels like a delay when putting my foot flat on the accelerator. My guess is the transmission mounting needs to be changed. Does anyone have any ideas?

The clock is on 270 000km.

Is it always at a certain RPM, or only when shifting into certain gears?

Great cars BTW, the W211 is probably one of the most underrated Benzes of all time.

Delay when putting your foot down is normal - it's an automatic so when you floor it, it will shift down a gear or 2 for maximum power.
