2014 C220 Coupe - ENGINE LIGHT AMBER

[DanielMBScott]

Hi Everyone,

Since yesterday the engine management light has been constantly on amber. I am taking it into Mercedes in a couple of days but I am fairly worried. It has only done 20,000 miles. Does anyone know what could of gone wrong?

I may just be tricking myself but it feels as if my car does not have all of its power? I put my foot down and it doesn't seem to be going as normal. Is this possible or am i just being stupid?

The Engine Management Light is just a warning that a problem has been detected.

It is impossible to do anything other than guess at the reason (which would be pointless) until MB have read the fault code or codes.

With some faults the engine or transmission may go into what is known as "Limp home mode" where power or gear selection is reduced.

Why the delay in getting it to a dealer if worried?

with warranty, you'll be fine.

With engine warning light lit, the car may well have gone into limp mode, hence lack of power.

Thanks for the replies! I have just got back! It was a sensor in the exhaust! All sorted and back to full power. That is the first time i've dealt with 'Mercedes service team and it was brilliant!
