I have a E320 CDI with 130,000 km on the clock. Recently and unpredictably it has started to switch to emergency run mode: no kick down, does not go over 3000 rpm, lots of black smoke. Then when I stop and switch off the engine and restart the problem has gone away. I recently had a service and...
Good morning all
The emergency triange in the boot of my E210 came unclipped and has snapped just where it is mounted onto the metal feet (un-repairable).

Just a general question really.
