Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.

No ASR light?
Was this after you didn't drive the car for a few days, then drove it for a few minutes (20-30 mins), shut it down and drove with it a bit later again?
If so, there is probable moisture in your caps and rotors.

Check this thread:
500E - Distributor and rotor problem | M119 Engine
The problem is known. A car standing for some longer period. Start and drive...everything okay. Turn off warm engine... 15' later moisture in the distributor. a lot of things are spoken about this issue, but never a clear solution. After some reading i'm going to replace Rotor, Dustcap and...
Typical caps and rotors, has nothing to do with the refueling, but more with the fact that you drove it (moisture in caps and rotors vaporized) and when you started again it's misfiring due to that vapour. Follow the thread i sent you and you'll be fine. Take the caps off and sand the rotor and cap contacts with some fine sandpaper, spray it all in with some brake cleaner and clean everything off. Let the brakecleaner vaporize, reassemble, should be fine for another few months depending otln the weather and how much you drive the car.
If there is moisture in the caps, and there is NO oil leak from the cam seal or the cam solenoids, you need to add the ventilation slots to the cap as shown in the thread below:
FYI - Essential M119 Ignition "Tune Up" mods [Distributor cap vent / slot] | M119 Engine
Moderator edit: In addition to cutting extra vent slots to reduce/eliminate condensation inside the caps causing misfiring, oil leaks must also be completely eliminated from the cam solenoid and exhaust cam seals. If there's the slightest trace of oil at the lower edge of the cap, this misfire...

The ventilation slots reduce condensation / moisture from causing misfires during the first 15-30 minutes after a cold start.
Perhaps a fuel pressure issue, has the fuel filter been replaced recently? I'd start with that first.
The fuel pumps make no abnormal noises?
The fuel pumps make no abnormal noises?
Perhaps it's fuel pressure regulator, do you have a fuel pressure gauge to put on the fuel rail and check the pressure while driving?
If there's NO misfire, and only a loss of power, you may have failing fuel pumps. This is difficult to diagnose without connecting a fuel pressure gauge that can be viewed while driving. If the pumps are original, try replacing them first (Bosch only, assuming you have a car with dual pumps).
Where in Belgium are you located if I may ask?
I'm from Roeselare, if you want we can set something up and meet to see if I can be of any assistance. Mind you that I am on holiday (and not in Belgium) from the 19th of september till the 10th of october.
I doubt that it would be the throttle body, but you'll see how it turns out. Let us know what the mechanic says.
Good luck!
Good luck!
With a hose "bridging" those two ports (applying vacuum to the EGR valve), the idle should get rough / worse when bridged, and return to normal / smooth with no vacuum applied to the EGR valve.
