On same engine had a similar issue and symptoms. Transpired to be turbo boost pipe not being seated correctly by technician after a service. Error code indicated air mass issue.

Acid ratio test for wheel balancing is driving the car on a private road at 70mph plus. If no vibration from 60mph plus onwards then all good imo. If no vibration then all is well and do not stress until next tyre change. Unless you have a decent tyre fitter I know and fully understand...

Sorry to hearing that new boost sensor did not fix your fault. As others have said get a decent auto electrician to confirm and diagnose. Has the technician refunded you back your money for fitting new boost sensor?

Not sure as I am not an expert but if overboosting then I am guessing it is possible with extra load on the worn seals but also get him to replace all of the relevant gaskets/seals for the turbo feed pipes. The seals are relatively cheap.

Overboost error from my experience occurs from either a faulty boost sensor, turbo actuator fault or a dodgy poor remap.

Sounds plausible imo. It Is the weekend so give the technician a chance to get back to you.

They are from the face lift W215. Just Google "face lift W215 CL rear lights". That will bring them up.

Have you checked to see if there is any specialist company that can repair/refurbish the module like they can with a defective ecu?

Thanks for replying back. It appears that apart from a couple of companies I found they will not do GAP if over 365 days. No joy with specialist brokers either. Lesson learnt for future as with standard insurance in first 12months it was instant replacement. Car is just a few days over...

A quick question regarding GAP insurance. Is there any company out there that will provide cover for a new policy if taken delivery of the vehicle just after 365 days? Many providers will not provide cover if not taken policy out in the first 12 months of ownership I am finding.

Go for tHe C43. It also responds well with a tune to 420bhp and 640nm of torque.

Sounds like defective siren for the alarm. If so, I think on W218 it is located in the front near side wheel arch like many other models. You could disable the alarm from sounding by simply disconnecting the plug for the siren by removing wheel arch lining for access until you get replacement...

Exhaust flap not fully opening would make the car underpowered upon acceleration hence is very likely causing the issue you are having.

Hi, I know that there is a procedure to follow for the 7g plus gear box reset. Can anyone confirm if disconnecting the main battery also resets the 7g plus box? Thanks

Def needs code (s) read as already pointed out. If car was serviced by MB within last 12 months then you can call MB Assist to come out and they will read cOde either by MB Tech or RAC. Edit: Will beat me to it...👍

Assuming your W204 is the 261bhp variant as standard then with the module would give gains of approximately just under 295bhp and 680nm of torque.

It is the same engine in both variants. Normally, the 43 variant can be tuned to 420hp and 620nm of torque.

If there are no error codes then how can the dealership insist on replacing oil pump, water pump etc.? Extremely poor level of service! Has the car been remapped at all?

I have used Autodoc quite a few times in the past and I never have had an issue with them. Obviously the parts were dispatched from Germany and taken 5-7 days which I was fully aware of approximate time scales. On one occasion they were out of stock on Lemforder drop links and contacted me...

I think most affected cars are now out of the standard 3 year manufacturer warranty. Also, they would have to prove that not having the software update actually caused the defect for any such related warranty claim. We all know though that having the software update is more likely to cause an...
