Help!!!!!!!!!!!
As the title says I have a sick ML270CDI and I've run out of ideas.. First it went in to limp mode, but would reset with an engine off, and would stay for a few minutes before going in to limp mode again...
So I deleted the swirl flaps, which were worn, and it still went in to limp.. so I plugged the swirl flap motor back in and it worked for a few minutes before going back to limp mode.
I then tried an iCarsoft and said that the position sensors on banks 1 and 2 were slow... which pointed to timing chain... but it only has 1 sensor... so not trusting what it was saying I hit the web, big mistake, I ended up fitting a new swirl flap motor... still no good..
I then shelled out to get it on an MB Star, got codes P0100-016 and P1189-008, because I had fitted a new swirl flap motor I was told that it must be the MAF sensor, so I've just fitted one of those, and guess what..LIMP MODE
I then contacted the garage that read the codes and charged me £50 and asked if they had cleared the codes down when they read the faults, and they said they didn't know and that it would cost to find out but i could give it to them to fix So as you can imagine I'm really up for that idea... do they think I fell out the stupid tree hitting every branch on the way?
So I need someone who has Star and wont fleece me in the Milton Keynes area. I will travel, but I'm stuck in limp mode, so it ain't much fun and I'd like to keep the distance down.
