I've been in touch with BBA-Reman who can do free running units and there are unable to supply a replacement free running unit for my car. Phoned Mercedes up and its going to be £1500 all in to get a new Engine ECU and to have it programmed to the car. This will take 10 days as the part is...

Hello All, A final update on this one and it's not good. The Engine ECU is faulty cannot be repaired, so that's pretty much it for the car I'm afraid. The interesting part is that prior to my ownership of the car (last 5 years almost to the day) it had been chipped and sold to me without the...

I've finally managed to get some of the error codes: B1102 (9102) Fault in CAN communication with control Unit Engine Control Module C1022 CAN communictaion with the engine system is faulty B1416 (9416) Coolant Circulation Pum (A31m1) Fault EGS Faults 132 CAN Communication with engine system...

Another update from the garage, and everything is pointing towards the Engine ECU being at fault. They've checked all the wiring, no breaks can be found. The car is still getting intermitant voltage issues. Is this something that I can buy second hand and if so what kind of other work will be...

I got the car back yesterday lunch time and all seemed fine. Finsished work, went home started fine. A couple of hours later went shopping and as I went to start it when I finished shopping, the same thing as before, all ignition lights on and the car won't crank at all. Engine fan running at...

Update as promised. Mercspec have taken a look and seem to have traced the problem back to the K40 relay module. Whilst tracing the wiring loom they have also found oil leaking into it. They are going to replace the module and clean up the wiring loom and put in a repair to prevent it the oil...

I've got my car back and took it through to MercSpec in Middlesbrough who I usually use. I'm going to leave it with them until they can get the bottom of whats going on. I'll update with what the final fix is. Cheers for everyones advice on here.

They have suggested that I try the car again for a few days with the ESP control until disconnected. They say that it is ok to run the car like this to check to see if it is this. They have explained that I’ll be left without ESP, BAS, ABS which I expected anyway with it being disconnected...

Yet another update on this issue. They have had the car since last Friday now and have managed to reproduce the fault but not got ay error codes off it up until today when then received a C1022 ESP Can Communication with Engine fault. N47-5. Any ideas on this one, they are starting to talk...

After 105 test miles where it ran faultless i finally got the car back. Popped out got back in to restart it and bang, same issue again. I did notice an error flash up stating defective display. Same problem with the car not turning over but all iginition lights on and the engine fan running at...

Just had a call from the garage, it's not doing it anymore. They've had it out on several runs and its running faultless now. There's no stored error codes and it's not flagging any new ones. They are going to keep it this afternoon and keep running it to see if it does happen again. Cheers...

Yes the CPS has been replaced along with lead, but if it was the CPS the car would still turn over after it cut out I think? At the moment once it cuts out it does not turn back over until 3-4 minutes later. The earth has been checked and all seems fine. It never has issues starting other than...

They took the car back in on Christmas eve but were only open for a few hours, so didn't have much of a chance to take a look. They did say that there was a slight misfire; I'm expecting an update from them today as they are back in. I've not used this garage before but they do specialise in...

Update, the car has been to a garage since Wednesday, they stated that the fault was wire from the CPS to the ECU losing signal. Took them two days to guess at this. They told me that the problem had been fixed, road tested the car and everything was fine. I took the car back and went to work...

The crank position sensor has been replaced, the old one tested ok still after been heated up.

Hello all, I'm back again with yet another issue with my car, they seem to be endless at the moment. Basically the car is cutting out when warm and won't start up again for a few minutes, it then continues to do this making it impossible to go anywhere. Must apologise for the essay but just...

It's a coupe.

I've not had it aligned previously and have now had the car for about 5 years. It's always had a slight bit of uneven wear on this wheel, but just seems to have gotten worse over the last 4-5 thousand miles. I had mentioned at the 3 places I've had it serviced over that time and they've all...

Hello all, I’ve noticed that my car has started to wear the outside edge of the nearside front tyre. Tyre pressures are all ok and there no noticeable vibrations through the steering wheel and the car is isn’t pulling to one side The car has always worn the outside edge of this tyre a...

Hello All, A friend of mine has the usual array of PAS/ESP/BAS failure messages on his 2006 C-class. I know on a lot of older Mercedes you just need to replace the brake pedal switch, however he is unable to find one on his car. The dealership gave him a switch for the handbrake light...
