    Electrical fault?

    Haha, some t-w-a-t (me) whilst checking everything yesterday, removed one of the relays in the fuse/relay box under the bonnet and fitted it back in the wrong position, whilst trying to find this fault today I tried it in the different position and everything works fine now, learnt a valuable...

    Electrical fault?

    Right then, I charged the battery for approx 24hrs, now showing 13.6 volts, and the majority of the faults have disappeared, I will replace it as I think its been on the car from new, 2008. The problem I have now is, no glowplug light, no engine crank over and no OBD diagnostic port...

    Electrical fault?

    yes thats the first thing that sprung to mind for me too, checked the voltage and it was 12.4 volts, a bit low i thought so I've put it on charge for now with the battery disconnected and will check it again tomorrow. I think the battery is the original as I've not seen any paperwork to suggest...

    Electrical fault?

    Hi, My CLS 320 2008 developed a strange fault today, first of all the alarm went off for no reason, then the horns were sounding constantly, I opened the car, turned the ignition on and they stopped, I turned the ignition off but then it wouldn't let me turn it back on again and the gearstick...

    Kangaroo jumping with solution

    I have been driving it for the last week now, pushing it to produce the fault, but the fault is not appearing, its smooth as it should be with perfect acceleration, so I can say the fault is cured. Cheers Derek

    Kangaroo jumping with solution

    Hi, I've had an intermittent fault with my CLS 320, where when I go to accelerate hard, the engine feels like it's cutting out repeatedly and the car is very very jerky, if I release the throttle back it accelerates fine, it just caught me out every now and again, also sometimes I would lose...

    Cold Start light comes back on

    Hi got a CLS 320, starting from cold the coldstart light goes out after about 5 seconds and the engine starts ok, then the cold start light comes back on again and stays on for about 1 minute then goes out again. Some people have said that this is drawing my attention to an issue, anyone know...

    Loss of turbo boost and transmission kickdown

    Yeah I thought maybe I need to do that mod again, I did it once before but removed it a couple of months ago to see if it makes any difference, i'll have to redo it, just remind me is it the 2 centre connections on the plug that the resistor connects? The one thing that made me remove it before...

    Loss of turbo boost and transmission kickdown

    Done a scan of the codes: P0299 - Turbocharger/Supercharger underboost P1101 - Manufacture Control (whatever that is?) P2A00 - O2 sensor circuit range/performance bank 1 sensor 1 (I presume that is the Lambda sensor)

    Loss of turbo boost and transmission kickdown

    Hi Over the weekend I had 2 instances where I lost turbo boost and the gearbox would not kick down, although it would change down when it was ready itself. Both faults appeared in similar conditions - I was travelling at 70 mph with cruise control on, going down an incline with an equal uphill...

    Engine will not rev above 3000rpm & gearbox will not kick down

    I did the resistor mod on Friday, so far so good with no juddering or kangaroo juice yet, will post back in a few weeks or if it starts again. I have several resistors spare as I bought 20 of them if anyone needs one let me know.

    Engine will not rev above 3000rpm & gearbox will not kick down

    Removed the Turbo Actuator cover today, checked the little wires connecting to the PCB and found when I touched one of them it fell off, so removed the another one by touching it also, and soldered 2 new bits of wire, I gently drilled the bases of the contacts, as they are zink plated and will...

    Engine will not rev above 3000rpm & gearbox will not kick down

    Just to add to my post, Transmission fluid and filter changed at 131000 miles, engine oil and filter + fuel filter, air filters changed at 139000 miles during lockdown. I do all the work myself as I used to be a HGV technician but that was 20 years ago, back then you could see the fault, now...

    Engine will not rev above 3000rpm & gearbox will not kick down

    I have checked and there is a fault code P2A00 I have attched a pic here, I have cleared the fault and it hasn't come back yet. The car has done 140,000 miles so far. The symptoms to me are turbo related as there is no boost at all when you try to accelerate when the fault is present.

    Engine will not rev above 3000rpm & gearbox will not kick down

    It happened again twice yesterday, cleared by turning off, pulling key, wait count to ten, restart and away we go. Swirl flaps have been suggested before as I also have a problem sometimes rairly when I first start up go to accelerate and its as if someone keeps turning the ignition off and on...

    Engine will not rev above 3000rpm & gearbox will not kick down

    Hi I have a CLS 320 2008 "facelift" model. Today it decided to go into a sort of limp mode where it would not rev above 3000 rpm and the gearbox would not kick down. I stopped, turned the engine off, removed the key for about 10 seconds and tried again and all was well. It has done this...
