Hi there, My sprinter has an intermittent problem. The engine management light flicks on, and the vehicle goes into limp mode. There is no trend as to why, it can be on long journeys or short journeys. It can sometimes be reset by turning the engine off for 30 minutes or so. It goes into...

Hello all My 55 kompressor went into limp mode this morning with varies esp warnings appearing on the dash. I switched the car off and then on again and all was well. I pulled a fault code on my cheap obd reader which said p0220, I believe this is the throttle position sensor? Less than 6...

Ive run into the first major problem with my CLS this week. Leaving work it seemed to put itself into a limp home mode with the car barely able to kickdown the gears and rev past 3k rpm. The cars currently on 75k miles. I had a cheap code scanner at home which threw up a few fault codes after...

Car will go into limp mode with no kickdown,and fixed gear change at 2900 rpm. Most likely to occur going up a slope with gentle acceleration in 4th gear(35-40mph) -although it has occurred in the cruise on the flat at 60mph. When you stop, turn off and start again, a reset occurs ~ back...

Hi All, I have a C180 as per the title and the other day, out of the blue it went into limp mode! it is showing the BAS ASR Light but no check engine light. The car will start but hunts at idle and won't rev higher than 1500 RPM. The light comes on as soon as you attempt to rev it or drive...

Hope someone can help! I have a 2003 e class estate 320 cdi. After about 20 mins the car drops into limp mode. Been doing this for a while. No faults come up and stopping and restating the engine gives a temp fix to reset for a while. Over 200k on the clock now but otherwise all seems fine. Was...

Hi all. I've decided to tackle my problems one at a a time instead of a huge list. Seems to be counter productive. My motor was a Frankenstein Mobile. In the last week I've figured most of what has happened, but it's still not fixed completely, if at all. The Instrument panel was...

Hi Guys, I've just been through the whole choked inlet manifold saga with my ML270. At the EGR was putting into limp mode with a 3000 rev cap. I've removed the swirl flaps and cleaned the EGR. Since putting it all back together it ran fine for a couple of weeks. I put the remaining pipe...

Hi all. First MB I've ever driven, never mind owned. I'm an avid DIYer and my mate is a machanic. I bought my Vito yesterday. I've no Idea where my head was at at the time of pulling out my money. He somehow convinced me that all Vito's gearboxes are knackered and it was normal. hahah...

I've been trawling through threads, but not found anything quite like this I recently started the vehicle and limp mode activated, after a mile it cleared. A week goes by, van running fine when parked up, when I start a few hours later, limp mode is activated, after a mile and a few on/off...

Hi, my e320 cdi 2003 is going into limp mode all the time, especially on hills. It seems to be "missing". Star codes: P1189 Inlet port shutoff valve and p0100 hot film maf sensor. Changed injector seals and recently had turbo reconditioned so that's working fine. Loads of thick black smoke when...

Evening to the great and the good, hoping someone can shed light on a problem on a SLK200K. Whether it's related to battery going flat I don't know. Car drives fine if I'm very gentle with my right foot, however if I drive "normally", gearbox kicks down, revs go to around 5k for a while, then...
