Hi
I hope someone can help.
I have a CLK 230 avg 2001 auto.
My engine management light came on in Jan this year (in warranty)
the computer showed the problem to be the "airflow sensor".
The dealership said the engine loom had oil in it and this was a known problem, so they changed it. A few days later the light came on again.
Then they changed the air flow sensor (out of warranty)
A few days later it came on again.
Then they changed the throttle valve.
A day later it came on again.
Then they changed the mass air flow sensor.
A day later it cam on aagain.
Then they said vacume hoses were not on properley.
A day later it came on again.
Now they are saying it is the throttle actuator
on every computer test the same fault of the "air flow sensor" was reported.
I have not been charged yet, as they dont know what the final fix will be.
although Mercedes Co. have agreed i will pay 1/3 of the cost of the part(s) (but that was back on the first attempt to fix)
I havt to wait to see if it is now fixed, but does anyone have any ideas what is going on and could the dealer have any arguement that all these parts were required.
this has been going on 8 months now
help!!!
