Hi ' everyone , I'm new to the forum so please excuse my lack of knowledge and information .
Any help would be greatly appreciated . I am stuck with my recently purchased cc220cdi classic saloon 2003 w203 143hp auto 168,000 miles .
The problem I am having is going into limp mode once the car is warm and at normal temperature . I've changed the throttle pedal as when kickdown button was being pressed . It said epc error visit workshop . So after changing thathe whole pedal It does not display that message . Also all four glow plug's were gone so changed them . passenger seat mat was faulty so got an emulator from ebay that has done the trick . But still requires the srs light to be reset via diagnostic. The 4th injector closest to the windscreen side was leaking so ive changed the seal amd the bolt.. still going into limp mode :fail : (
I really need to get it properly diagnosed . As guess work is just not working . I do believe that the transmission might be causing it . As once warm . And you start the car revs past 3000rpm fine . But as soon as you engage any gear goes in limp mode . Will not rev past 3000rpm and turbo will not spule or kick in . However when the car is cold it will stay out of limp mode till warm. That being said my ambient temperature sensor was dangling down and displaying +85°c . So have ordered a new one should be here by tomorrow . And also the temp gauge will not reach +80°c or go past it
. So I assume that sensor needs changing as well . Or even the thermostat .
Sorry for rambling on and on . I just wanted to cover everything . And hope someone can guide me in the right direction
