C class vibration

[sja]

Bought a lovely c class 320 sport.. It's 1st diesel for a number of years.. But it does appear to have a vibration through the floor and accelerator pedal at 70.. It's fast mind, mid range between gears is fantastic.. Could just be a quirk as diesel but does anyone else merc vibrate?

Zero vibration accelerating just cruising at higher speeds, could still be propshaft?

Taking it to a local Mercedes specialist.. Expensive to fix?

400 mile trip yesterday, it's not just vibrating at speed. Part throttle. Any speed causes vibration through floor and pedals. Rang dealer who suggests wheel balance, it's not wheels but asking hike to sort. Apart from vibration lovely car on motorway, mid range accelerating amazing

Thanks.. I'm relying on supplying dealer (not mb) to resolve.. And he uses decidedly back street garage.. If they don't or can't fix I'll take it to mb or specialist.. Just bought it so would prefer not to end up with large bill

Still waiting for dealer to sort, now have to add two more "faults".. Clunk from brakes when reversing.. Rotational noise from front when driving slow..

Worried now bought a money pit..

It's an 2009 car, thought they only affected earlier models?

Thanks for replies. Wheel balance tomorrow, at dealer request.

Balance done.. Rears out, but fronts buckled, they have put a stack of weights on! Dealer having wheels straightened next week. Car drives better even with rears done.

Dealer collecting car on Wednesday, wants to get the buckled front wheels sorted. Car vibration isn't wheel related though as it's also at slow speeds, slow down for bend. Speed up but not enough to kick down, car vibrates. I will ask hi. To look at torque convertor.
