Hi Guys,
I'm after some of your knowledge and experience on this matter.
Yesterday my cousin bought a W210 E320 Cdi for his Dad he will be presenting the car to him on Sunday at his birthday party. everything is perfect on the car except for a problem that i found today, on a test drive i tried doing a kickdown and it just would not go, nor does it rev over 3000 rpm in any gear (tried via Tip) gear changes are smooth it changes both up and down fine. I also noticed the engine temperature takes a while to get to just below 80c is this normal on my CE temp gets to running temp (85c) in under 10 mins.
I assuming its a possible MAF issue or the CAT is gone.
Some background info on the car, it was stood stationary at the guys showroom from before christmas never driven until my cousin test drove it and collected it (yesterday). Also when he first put the key in he got a message saying that battery was low in the car but after his trip home (40 miles) the message no longer appears.
Guys any help or advice you can give will be much appreciated.
The car is going on STAR this saturday.
