Bloody car has started to idle really roughly & feels like it wants to cut out.
This happened earlier in the year when a certain supermarket was selling dodgy petrol. We had the car fixed under warranty that time (air flow meter replaced), but I'm just wondering if its the same thing again.
Car sounds like a diesel at idle (its not though its a 1.4 petrol) and it really struggles to accelerate in any gear.
Also seems to get worse the hotter the car gets.
Last time Merc said the throttle body/cable needed cleaning for carbon deposits, could this really be whats causing it?
