The alternator and water pump have been replaced. Last week, the alternator pulley fell off, but the bearings were also shot. And the water pump was leaking. So, one brand new (used) alternator and water pump etc...£409 fitted and the car is back on the road. BUT...the car is spewing out...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and would be grateful for your thoughts. I own a Mercedes w220 2004 s320 cdi. Recently the EPC Light came on. As a result my car wouldn't accelerate beyond 2000 rpm. It sometimes accelerates like normal but other times it limits itself below 2000rpm. I had...

After start up if i accelerate quickly rather than gradually i get a slight judder and after this the power cuts out seems like the turbo has stopped working however if i pull over and restart the car it will be fine. If i start the car and drive normally for a few minutes i can drive the car...

Hi Anyone have any idea why my 2004 C200CDi goes into limp mode on random occasions? Sometimes it can be months in between occurrences and it is usually after long journeys. More recently it has occurred only after 5 or 10 minutes but it is always triggered by accelerating (often on motorway...

Hi all. Dont know if this is a potential problem but my 320 cdi went into limp mode this evening. Was approaching one of those 2 lanes up 1 down hills. There was a lorry crawling up. Had it in manual mode and just as i accelerated was baulked by car pulling out to overtake in front of me. Only...

Hi, I have a severe lack of power especially on accelerating, it is getting checked etc on Tuesday, but my question is does a 1992 300sl r129 have a limp mode??

Hi everybody! I have an 2004 C270 which entered in limp mode. I took it to a garage to read the codes and it shows "manifold intake". What would be the worst case scenario and how much would that cost me? Thanks for your feedback

Guys, I've been having an intermittent problem with my car going into limp mode ever since i purchased it. I thought i'd solved the problem a few months back after replacing a split boost pipe. However half way into the journey to work it slipped back into limp mode with the normal stop...

good evening, my mother picked up a 2007 SLK280 last week and it drove fine for the first few days, but after about 4 days sitting and then a good wash, it has put the gearbox in limp mode... anyone know why this might be happening? car only has 40k on the clock. Thanks

Hi there peeps, well i'm back again with another problem. As stated in my previous thread i have replaced the cylinder head, injectors and new turbo unit but not the turbo actuator. The car runs fine but when i go 3000 rpm the car goes into limp mode but after a restart all is fine. No engine...

I've have just bought a E300td 1997 saloon with 93000 sevice history miles on the clock. The car has been laid up for the past two years due to LIMP HOME MODE and I guess the elderly man I bought from just did'nt bother to get it seen too. But anyway pluged in scanner and it showed up faults in...

Hello everyone.Thank you for help given so far. Sometimes when I put my foot down to overtake the car drives smoothly but without the usual kick down in power and will just slowly increase in acceleration , it will then drive fine but will only respond to the accelerator pedal...

Hi, Looking for advice: gearbox stuck in limp mode - 40mph max and occasionally wont initially go into drive. checked fluid level, was a bit high. Have sucked out excess to correct level when hot. Still stuck. had replaced the plug adaptor last week due to it leaking. have read...

Hi Folks, I have a 2005 Diesel C200. The engine management light came on a while ago (during the freeze, this time last year) complaining about the Diesel Particulate Filter. This light turned off by itself - I'm putting this down to the filter eventually regenerating itself. Since then...

Hello Great Forum people. Hello to you all. This is my first post so hopefully it is in the right place. I have an SLK230 2003. The ABS and ESP lights came on a while ago, but I just ignored it as drove ok and I didn't have the cash (£60) for MB check. Now, a week later it's gone into limp...
