Hello all,
I've recently purchased a 2007 E320 CDI V6 and it has been intermittently going into limp mode. It has now remained in limp mode and won't "reset" even after the engine being turned off and on again. The error code came up as the Actuator for the turbo diagnosed a couple weeks ago.
I need to take it to a specialist in London to get it fixed but I'm concerned of driving down the M1 for around 100 miles. Granted limp mode is there to at least get you home but not sure if it's still OK doing a relatively long trip to get it fixed, especially while hogging the left hand lane. Car previously would go up to around 100mph in limp mode but I'm not sure if it will go beyond 50 now.
I understand this is not a safe trip to due various factors associated with driving a limp vehicle down the M1, however, from a engine health perspective, would it do additional harm to the engine?
Would getting a company to tow the vehicle be a worthwhile option?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
