We have now for the second day a brief loss of power in our GLC43. It is not that the engine stops or the turbo pressure goes, it is like it isn't responding to the throttle and holding back, like a temporary speed limit.

It is going in tomorrow and they will check to see if there are any error codes.

Well that is odd.. So if you drop the pedal, nothing happens, or it feels really hesitant and then kicks and works again?

That will happen if your Traction Control engages on icy or wet roads....feels like instant power loss

 

[dejongj]

Yup - but these aren't icy or wet roads....A totally normal dry road in the UK....but it is a similar feeling as to when the car holds you back...

we had the same issue for more than 2 years and I have been asking the dealer since then. Finally in last 2 weeks I had multiple incidents and twice I would been hit from the vehicle behind if not for the other drivers observance and me putting hazard lights ON. Last week my engine light came ON as well, so I took it to the dealership and finally they experienced the same and kudos to the technician he/she figured the issue. I am not a mechanical person, so pardon me for the mechanical communication skills.
Its a small pipe that carries turbo boost power that was completely ruptured and had a hole! Its about 8 inch length and 1/8th inch thick and had a sleeve. It was right above the engine and below some big box. I believe its this one.
