Thanks for your advice auto-mobile. Since cleaning the throttle body I've had a week without the engine management light coming on. Guess that was the problem all along. Got a replacement O ring on order but guess the existing one isn't leaking despite it's state. Car runs better than ever

Cleaned the throttle body but discovered that the 'O' ring between the cover and the maf sensor was broken so this could be letting through unmetered air which could be the cause of my problem. Put it back together but forgot to measure the dimensions of the 'O' ring! Derr!

Thanks I'll try that later today

Been getting an endless problem for about 18 months with the management light coming on and indicating P0101 and maf sensor problems I've changed that several times firstly with pattern ones and finally with a genuine one. Still the light comes on. Also changed the map sensor, the cam position...

Can't find any pipe like that below the air box. Engine is 111. Couple of pipes at back of the engine could be one of those

Took the airbox off, couple of pipes down there. Any ides what this one looks like (diameter, shape, length, where it goes to and from) Thanks

Still a bit confused, I presume the air goes through the maf sensor which is after the airbox so how could these be unmetered? (I'm a novice so excuse the question!)

Thanks - where is the airbox? Is this where the air filter goes?

Hi, Been getting a problem in the last couple of months with my 2001 C200 Kompressor cutting out for no apparent reason. Had the fuel filter changed last October so shouldn't be that. Changed the Cam position sensor for a new Mercedes one (the one on top the engine) which was obviously faulty...

Thanks, good idea, might have a look tomorrow Robin

Might be worth a try but it gets up to temperature normally and stays just above 80 deg all the time. (has done since I've had it)

Hi, Bought a 2001 (W203) C200K estate 2 years ago and very pleased with it. Recently it runs great from cold but seems a bit more hesitant when up to temperature. Had some codes came up from time to time - before and after the problem. Cleaned the MAF sensor with contact cleaner and the...
