1.C 230 Mercedes Benz
2.175450
3. Auto
4. Many strange sounds
5. No fluid leaks

The Car has no "umph", the problem began two months ago, the car coughed and from that day forward it didnt have any power. If I punch the gas, the check engine light comes on and my car cant get over 40 miles per hour. We were told that a cylinder was blown, if this is so, how do I fix it?

Sincerely,
Lucy Luna

Hi there,

Get a compression test done first, this will give a good indication as to cylinder / piston condition. If it back fired violently, it may have bent the throttle plate as well.
