Hi, brand new to MB world. Purchased a W204 C350 CDI estate. Had been on the hunt for about 4 years for the right one. Came across her and purchased yesterday.
After 60 Miles into 445 mile journey home, (driving from Chepstow, Wales to Perth, Scotland) the car appeared to go into Limp Mode. Lack of power, wouldn’t accelerate over 3,000RPM and would only change gear near that rev range. Pulled into service station for restroom break, car was back to normal - awesome!
A further 60ish Miles, same thing happened, (reported to the garage I purchased car from by this time).
As I’d been up since 3 am that day I was keen to just crack on with my journey. Eventually stopped at Lancaster Services for a good 20 mins, continued Journey and within a matter of minutes, fault had returned ( NO EML still).
After a few hours pulled over briefly for a quick break and the car was back to normal. Had been all the way home. Took the car to my local garage who plugged into SnapOn diagnostics - No fault.
Within 10 mins of leaving garage, fault returned so went straight back.
Plugged into same diagnostics and came back with these codes ;
15FD00H/144024
The lower limit value of component b28/8 (dpd differential pressure sensor) has not been reached
11A700
The fill level of the diesel particulate filter is too high
13AF00
The soot content of the diesel particulate filter is too high
Mechanic also started a regen of the dpf and it said on the diagnostics that the fill level of the dpf was 299%.
The regen didn’t do anything, possible cause - not enough fuel in the tank. After all this, the EML decides to come on. So, Repairs to be continued on Monday.
Would a regen rectify this issue? Or is there more than meets the eye?
Apologies if this seemed long winded, kind of felt everything said was necessary. Have also taken screen shots of said fault codes if required.
Cheers.
