It will be the chain or intake camshaft gear I would think. It is common even at low miles

My estate is probably worth 26-28k now. I cannot think of anything to replace it with for the money. I paid 34k just over 2.5 years ago nearly and have put 21,000 miles on it. So I don’t think the depreciation is that bad at all

Valvebodies.co.uk in Merseyside are very good. Worth sending both valvebody and plate to them for testing and repair

If it's a w203 then it is a fiddly job. Really tight in there

The coupes are so nice in white!

I’m glad it’s getting sorted for you under warranty really good news! I’m getting straight onto my local dealer to order one of those suits

I reckon the inlet motor. Worth getting the turbo cleaned and actuator changed while it’s off

What is interesting is usually those faults all go to current because the inlet motor blows a fuse...

On this engine the code you are experiencing was caused by the split pipe. Check the dpf values and make sure it hasn’t got full because of the limp mode issue. What you are experiencing with the code not going after replacing the split hose nearly always happens with that fault code

Get the codes read. Most common causes are turbo actuator or inlet port motor

No it’s unlikely it would cure a valvebody issue.

First thing to have check fluid condition and level. After that it could be a valvebody problem, or a component in the main transmission power train causing oil pressure loss/ slip. First port of call is fluid and filter. The tech can look for signs of damaged fragments when the sump is removed.

I'm sure they will get their own way. You crack on and get to where you need to go fast and cheap

Black cabbies have to undergo 'the knowledge', which is the equivalent to 'a degree' so I'm told. So why should some random guy be allowed to grab a car on finance, get a licence, and drive folk around without any background checks? Why should black taxi drivers have to play to a totally...

Air mass meter is common for this on the M272 engine providing there aren't any air leaks and the codes relate to both engine banks. Done lots

Ask them to try an update first

When I bought mine it didn't bother me going direct to Mercedes Benz as I know it means nothing. I knew what I wanted ( an estate 2012/13 and black on black ) I bought privately because I like to deal 1 on 1 rather than through a sales robot. I wouldn't hold your breath on the ass falling out...

Timing chain rattle. Very common

Very sad RIP

It's the secondary chain tensioner. A check valve is fitted in the head to prevent the oil draining back and the chain stretching. The tensioner and check valve can be fitted by removing the top timing covers. There are a few engine variants affected by this.
