Hi, I recently bought Mercedes C Class C220 Cdi Avantgarde. After purchasing the car I had to travel 210 km back home, everything was fine. But than when I got off the motorway and started driving in side streets I notice that car has small delay between switching from 3rd to 4th gear. It normally shifts on about 2000 rpm but on 3rd-4th it shifts on about 3000 rpm and it only does it when car gets warm. So my question. Why does it do that? Is it minor or major thing? And is it gonna cost?

It could be many things. It could be really expensive or inexpensive. Have it scanned for all codes and let us know what you find out. Remind the shop if you have to that soft codes will affect driveability, like this problem, but not set the check engine light because they aren't emissions related.
