I bought a new CPS in the States (mail order) as I was experiencing similar problem. Ok for a few months then problem re-occurred. The "Bosch" part arrived in Bosch box and all seemed genuine but leaflet in the box was for an injector. Didn't think much of it at the time but have since read that...

Nothing to worry about. Almost always caused by low battery charge. Re-charge battery will sort it out Mike

Thanks for advise. Will check throttle flap. If that seems OK will book a session on a star diagnostic. Mike

Car - 1998 E320 , 64000 miles. For the last 18 months I have had an irritating fault with my vehicle. Every couple of weeks or so , when coming to a halt, the engine would die on me. Car would immediately restart and there would be no more problems for a week or more . Having read the forum I...

The twin electric fans on my E320 ( has digital climate control) do not operate all the time. According to Alldata, fans come on when refrigerant pressure reaches 16 Bar and increase in speed as pressure rises up to 20Bar (max. Speed). Fans also operate if engine coolant temp. starts to rise...

Am aware that the most common symtom of CPS failure is that the engine tends to die at idle ( at lights, junctions etc), usually when the engine is up to operating temperature.. The CPS's job is to detect a missing tooth on the flywheel. What I have often wondered is why the sensor seems to fail...

Hi, You shoud have 4 fuel trim readings. 2 on bank 1 and 2 from bank 2. There should be a short term fuel trim (STFT) on each bank and a long term fuel trim (LTFT) reading for each bank STFT's should ideally be +1% and LTFT's should be no more than +/- 10%. More than 1% indicates the the...

Car - 1998 w210 E320. 63,000miles and almost full MD service history. Purchased this car just over a year ago from an old gent who had owned the vehicle from new. The car drives beautifully, engine is smooth as silk. No rough running etc BUT every now and again the engine will die on me. This is...

It is K27 relay adjacent to battery under the rear seat. Fuse terminal 30 in rear fuse carrier. Could also be a problem with K40 relay module in engine compartment. I,m assuming that E320 fuel set is similar to your car. Hope this helps, Mike

Just got my road tax renewal - £123.75 for six months. Car is 1998 E320 petrol. Hope this helps.

Hi Stability Thanks for the installation tip. Sounds good to me. Am in the States now, have ordered the sensor and it should be delivered by Friday.

See previous thread. Forgot to say - on ALLDATA it says that if this part is replaced it must be re-initialised using Star Diagnostics in menu item control module adaptions. Does anyone know if this is in fact the case. I have read lots of threads about replacing this sensor and don't remember...

Vehicle - w210 E320 1998, 62500 miles. Around a week ago the car cut out at traffic lights and although it has been OK since I am wondering if it might be prudent to fit replacement Crank Position Sensor. I have a subscription to ALLDATA which indicates the MB part no. Is 003 153 95 28. I...

Thanks Andy. Yes the beige box with cables looks exactly like box at top of inner wing on your pic. Will look into your suggestions. The black cylindrical object was mounted lower down. Mike

Hi, Recently removed all the wheel arch liner to clear any debris and to check for corrosion. When I removed the liner from the front drivers side wing I noticed a black cylindrical object with tubing connected to it. Higher up on the inner wing there is a beige coloured box with a cable running...

I just done the rear disks and pads on my w210 E320. Again only one wear sensor Mike

Hi All, Been considering replacing the tired shocks on my '98 E320 . ECP have shocks branded "Anschier" at £20.47 each or the rears and £53.40 for the fronts. Seems too cheap and probably is. I would be interested to know if anyone has used these shocks and any comments/opinions. If the vehicle...

Hi Jimh, That's really good news. As a matter of interest, which wire was it? Mike

Jimh, Haven't been able to locate position of k27 relay so far - still looking. I assume that you disconnected fuel pump at the fuel tank . If that is the case it would indicate the fault is in the cable or relay between k40 and fuel pump. To prove this I would run a temporary cable between...

Hi Jimh The 20 amp fuse (fuse 5) supplies the fuel pump vi the fuel pump relay (k27) via the red/blue cable. The red cable goes to the ECU. Mike
