    Anyone seen anything similar to this?

    Car turns on no problem. But immediately chugging loudly, struggling to tick over. After 20/30 seconds chugging slows as the lights flicker and the car then cuts out. Engine light is on while the engine runs (or struggles to run).

    Automatic Diesel. Disaster :(

    Sounds like fuel starvation, check diesel filter, check fuel pump, better still get the engine fault read.

    Year of it would be a start.
    Do a lot of Mercs and I’ve come across this problem but I’m unsure of the year of your car to c which engine it is.
    If you give me further details I can help you out.
