Just taken off the Maf and drove the car up the road. Seemed to go a lot better. Would it?...

Maf

hi. i drove the car to work this morning with the maf disconnected. it made no difference to the power?? any ideas please

 

[John Jones Jr]

All the signs of a failed MAF. I just don't know how your Merc specialist didn't pick up on it? Anyway at this stage you may aswell get a new one. Scout around as they vary in price and make sure it's leading brand, if possible get a Bosch.

P.s. Post up the part number and details.

Oil in the lume

Hi. Just had the ecm out and it had oil in it. And all the connectors to air flap boost switches sensor magnet. Bugger ideas please... :fail

 

[John Jones Jr]

Do a search, plenty of threads online on several different forums too - it's a common issue. There's a wiring modification from M-B to stop this 'wicking' problem. Have a looK at the writing to the o2 sensor and of course the cam magnet as that's where the problem originates from. Be careful how you remove the oil on the ECU pins. And don't use that M-B specialist again!

Hi . Were i got the car from now has my clk.tried a new ecm on it and it still bringing up the same fault codes. Air recirc flap and the 2c pressure boost switches. Strange.... any ideas please.

Its fixed.

HI.
just got my car back only taken 16 weeks. in the end it needed a new ecu as the processor had burnout. Car now drives very well. getting 30 mpg on a run. Could do with a new back box(muffler) fitting to the car just to make it sound better?

Ouch expensive or did you manage to get the original repaired?

Does the original supercharger whistle?

 

[jonb286]

Hi nnightwolf
The supercharger is whining nicely. Power is back very fast now.
Just got a problem with the rear head rest stopping up.

fixed

After a long battle with the garage who supplied the merc its fixed. The ecu had a burnt out processor. Then they lost it. Then they tried to fit one off an auto with alarm steering lock and other bits to make it work. No good. After a number of phone calls it went to merc in york who fitted a new ecu coded it tested and now working fine. I had fitted new plugs coils air filter air flap 2 boost switches all of these didnt work . Also a cam sensor and 02 sensor and oil blocker. the car now drives like new. hope this helps others with the same problem. No matter what i/we (indie) changed the engine light would come on after a couple of miles after a re-set. Cost of the ecu £722.46 fitted. The garage that i got the car from are the biggest bunch of muppets going. I would not have got the car from them knowing that they couldnt fix it.
