Hi guys,
So I just bought a C180 Kompressor, 110K miles and I've definitely been scammed as prev. owner said it "had no issues at all".
After checking, the car seems to be idling quite rough on cold starts and smells like its running too rich. I checked the DTC codes and a few misfires came up along with some lean codes as well as a MAF circuit low code came up - I cleared them and the MAF code went away but the rest came right back up. No CEL on and the car is exactly the same even with the MAF unplugged. I did order a MAF sensor hoping that was the issue but the readings are showing as ~2g/s on idle and around 15g/s at around 3/4K rpm.
I'm aware of the vacuum hose leaks that are common on the M271 engine and was wondering what the repair bills would be for the hoses below the airbox and worse case scenario the ones even further down? I need to know rough estimates before I give it to a mechanic to charge diagnostic fees, would rather just sell on as spares and repairs and take my loss rather then pour money into it..
Cheers
