Given your description it may be 1. Glow plug(s) not functioning, or 2. Glow plug controller not functioning. The glow plugs heat during the first couple of minutes to ensure smooth running. If they do not heat the engine will still start and run, but there will be noticeable roughness. In...

I’d take it back for “further investigations” as you have engaged a shop and report the scan codes here. How many miles? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It is better to scan the vehicle with a tool designed to read the MB coding. Often the typical generic readers only provide a general direction of the problem. Taking it to a dealer will cost an hours worth of diagnostic time. You may find a local independent shop that can scan and diagnose...

Also replace the cabin air filters if not done already. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agree with failed thermostat and replace sooner than later. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Misfires at cold startup certainly point to glow plugs. The long cranking points to fuel. When was fuel filter last changed? Generally they are a 20,000 mile maintenance item. Have the air filters been checked? This is another area that can impact operations. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My guess is that a line came off. Maybe a consequence of the failed pulley and associated debris flying around. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You need to have the car scanned and report any codes found. There’s too many possibilities to properly begin any diagnostic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You could try cleaning the reader itself. Buy one of those lens cleaning disks with the little brushes. Could just be enough dust on the laser that is to blame. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

”After a recent ECU/emissions update” I recall a similar discussion on the MB UK site. Same observations. I’m suspecting that the update was designed in response to the VW/Bosch debacle. Did you request the update? In my experience with MB the software is not automatically updated unless...

The schematic for my ‘08 OM642 (US) shows a BAS travel sensor mounted below the master cylinder. Not sure if this means anything for your situation, but figured I’d offer it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How many miles on the vehicle? Tire wear even? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Borys, Throughout this work has the brake fluid been replaced? Skippy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Perhaps gravity is at play? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agree with using the centered spring compressor. I did similar to what you are suggesting and had quite the difficult time of it. To make matters worse the springs I received were incorrect. I had the correct set installed at the dealer and returned the wrong ones for a refund. Buy, borrow or...
