Problems appeared after the car was left for over a month without being started. The battery inevitably went flat, throwing a number of sensors. A new battery has been fitted, but the problems below persisted, even after a garage carried out a diagnostic test and cleared all the old codes...

Hello to all. A friend of mine has a W211 E270 ('04 afaik). When driven for about a minute above 100kph /~60mph/ it enters in limp mode. Until then the car has all its power available. He has star system and everything is fine except the MAF readings are a bit high. There is a graph, green in...
