Hi all,
I am having a spot of bother with a misfire on my E320. Having replaced all the coil packs, spark plugs and associated cabling etc, when the engine is warm the supply to cylinders 1 & 6 cuts out (it's fine until it gets warm). My long-suffering mechanic has tested everything and come to the conclusion it must be the ECU. He sent it away for testing but they said they could find no fault with it. (I suppose it's possible that their test conditions do not stretch to getting it to the same temperature as when it's in the car?)
I'm reluctant to fork out £300+ for a replacement until or unless I've proven that it is the ECU, so I was wondering if anyone has one I could borrow short term (ideally in Somerset/Bristol area)?
The serial numbers are Bosch 0261203492 and Mercedes 0165456032.
Thanks in advance.
