I'll mention it all as something might be related to the latest fault ?
All my issues started after an ecu firmware upgrade during a routine service.
It overheated while stuck on a regen and blew the oil cooler seals.
New seals, 1x complete intake manifold as oiled up and flaps not moving, turbo seals, bolts etc.
Total £1800
A week later I noticed a plume of exhaust coming out of the turbo area and it stank while driving.
I was told that was normal and probably always done it and it needed 2 X injector seals and 1 X injector, a further £800
Took it to another Merc specialistels and was told nothing wrong with the injector seals and to take it back to the other garage. 5 miles later, engine light on, checked iCarsoft, the left air sensor was unplugged !!
Took it to a 3rd specialist - it's your turbo, it's split, a common problem, will be £600 for a new garret turbo - never heard of that common fault so I moved on..
Took it to a 4th merc specialist - they found the EGR pipe not connected properly, obviously from the 1st problem I had, £220 to fix including new turbo seal again and other seals and bolts. Also did a service for me, and washed it.
Total £540
The next day I get the ABS / ESP / run flat inoperative message and the following errors from iCarsoft.
Signal from B64 sensor brake vacuum sensor faulty
Front left axel rpm sensor unreasonable
Front left axel rpm sensor electrical fault
Power supply for B64 not ok
Internal fault of ESP control module
Ignition reset clears it but it intermittently comes back.
I have never seen this fault before - guess it must be coincidence, any ideas ?
