Afternoon all,
Just after some advice please. I own a C Class 250d 2015 model, 89,000 miles. Owned for 18 months, extended warranty has expired.
The car has been a dream until last weekend. Engine management light on - no issues with the car, drives fine.
Took it in to my local indy - he ran a Xentry diagnostic and concluded that both NOx sensors needed replacing. He said they do loads of these, really common problem but unfortunately pricey to sort. He recommended i call Mercedes main dealer and tell them the problem and see if MB UK will assist financially. If not go back to him and he will price up/replace.
So I emailed Inchcape, Reading where i bought the car - they replied promptly saying the car needs the SMPC760 Update Engine Control Unit Software - as part of this they will test the NOx sensors and replace free as part of the recall.
So it seems like a no brainer to me? However having come from a VW Passat where VW did a software update on that and the car was never the same again I'm sat here wondering what to do..................??!!
Any help / comments appreciated please.
