It sounds like you are in a limp home mode. Their should be codes stored if the car has done this, you need to find a specialist (or main dealer) with STAR.

 

[braces1977]

can my local garage do this with there comp or dose it have to be star

New injector seals and the leak off pipe would never cause a lack of power. did you tell them it had? Did they check the fault codes?

 

[braces1977]

no the car needed two injectors as the were leaking anyway and the pipe had a split in it, if the car is in likp home mode will there be any lights or warnings on the dash as nothing is lit up, is there any tests to do to get the fault codes (in my saab you earth pin 6 and the engine light flashes to give you the code number,

It will need to go on a diag machine. The best one is a Star.

Mine is the same, apparently, on reading, its pos the MAF sensor £55 ebay

2 faults that immediately spring to mind is MAF sensor or jammed EGR valve. Thats just guessing and a star test will help you move forward in finding the fault.

 

[whizzkid11]

Don't be throwing more parts at it until you have had it on a diags machine to have the fault codes read and checked.

Limp mode could be caused by a multiple of issues, MAF sensors, Fuel line issues, common rail fuel pressure, etc etc. Are you getting any smoke?

Check my thread as I had same problem and you will see a star diagnostic is a must.
Limp mode and then Engine light comes on sporadically no quick pick up

I definitely don't think it's anything to do with the tyres. So you're only £250 down. Is it a V6 or straight 6 ?

 

[dulayj]

Thats a lot of work for a reasonable amount of money.Sorry your problem still exists-was this a specialist Merc place?

 

[x332race]

Are you getting smoke? Could be split air hose between turbo and manifold.....just soemthng else to consider. Get it on Star machine.
