Check the following 1. Water pump 2. Fuel filter housing 3. Check large hoses going into the radiator. You need to squeeze on each end. If kaputt they will leak. 4. Check for pin holes when car is running.

Had the same problem. Loose bolts. Ended up replacing the rocker cover gasket in the end.

Check the power steering reservoir. I had this and mine was empty. No leak and good since then.

I had a loose rocker cover. Ended up getting the rocker cover seal replaced.

I had a oil leak down the back of my W204 C220 CDI. Valve cover bolts were loose. Tightened them up and all good.

There are three sources of coolant leaks. 1. Water pump (get a Geba) 2. Thermostat housing 3. Water housing by the EGR cooler (under fuel filter) Could be oil on that intercooler hose (mine looks like this). My valve cover was loose and oil went down the back of the engine and then all over...

You are very right to reject the car. You need to be firm on this with MBUK. The lack of oil killed the turbos. And you bet there is more damage in that engine!

Update: Car had the error and would not go away. Then was standing for a week as I went on holiday. Came back and the car was fine. Done a few checks and disconnected the battery for a bit. Been fine for the last 2 weeks now. So if you ever get this error I would just disconnect the battery...

The Star scanner at the Indi shows same as my iCarsoft MB V2.0. Just a 5001. Looking into this it could be related to a few things. speed/gas pedal sensor, brake switch, battery voltage,... Will pull the electronic part of the module and see.

And it only happens once you go over 10mph or so.

Starts fine. Done a scan with diagnosis tool and said just around 12V. What the minimum voltage it should have?

So the car has a 5001 with the 3 errors. runflat indicator inoperative/ EBD,ABS,ESP inoperative/Power steering malfunction. And that's on and off. Sometimes a restart will fix it. Sometimes it will work again the next day. Do I need to replace the entire ESP unit? It's a W204 C220 CDI.

Thanks!

Which OBD2 reader for W204?

OEM will probably be Pagid or Brembo. I always get brembo disc/pads from eurocarparts.

Had the same problem on my wifes W204 AMG Sport C220 CDI. Irritating on the school run with all the speed bumps. Just installed standard suspension (agility control) and a lot better now! If you want the perfect ride you need to get air suspension. Porsche Cayenne/Macan with air is amazing...

I always use Brembo on the Benz.

I will be selling full suspension shocks/springs front/rear for a 2010 C220 CDI AMG Sport. Lowers ride by 15mm.

Running Goodyear Eagle F1. 35psi all around. Can't go lower as the front tires would wear braking for all the speed bumps. Decided to put on the Agility control suspension (comfort). Will report back once done.
