EML/DPF/AC

[parroon]

Hi guys and gals, for months now, eml has been on and when I've questioned this been told not to worry (for example - a roadside assistance fella once said, "my mate had his on for years with no problem") so I didn't worry, but now I need an MOT in November and it won't pass with eml lit

I've started to look into it, diagnostics say
P2463, DPF restriction, soot accumulation/dpf blocked.
P2112 electronic throttle control.
P0123 throttle/pedal position sensor/switch A circuit high input

I recently drove the van 200 miles there and back, mostly at motorway speeds with dpf cleaner, around 2000 rpm as recommended in the manual - so no passive regeneration happening.

To make matters worse, there's no a/c now, and sometimes the engine won't turn over til the 3rd or 4th try, are these a symptom of the dpf problem?

Also have a p2bac code, which I now know (I hope) will clear itself after NOx/dpf has been dealt with. My questions are is there an easy-ish fix, I don't mind getting my hands dirty, or is it a garage job, which is difficult at this time, the MB specific garages are all massively busy. Looking forward to hearing your opinions on this issue. TIA.

Bad and unprofessional advice from the roadside! Not entirely your fault but you knew it was an MOT failure and shouldn't have ignored it. Hopefully someone will know of your nearest Mercedes Indy. First point would be to get it on a decent diagnostic that can try to force a regen for you and see if it clears.

OP mentioned Hampshire as a location. Suggest contacting:https://www.prestigecarservice.co.uk/

Quite how or why you would ignore the EML for so long when this warning is there for a reason and covers many different problems I do not know!

yes, I agree. No excuse on my part, should have ignored the breakdown guy (breakdown was due to battery fault, he said. My ignorance
