Thanks for the update.

Hello everyone. I've changed the cam sensor and crank sensor also. Solved the MPG issues instantly. Still need to take off the turbo actuator. Just not had time...... Thank you all for your much needed input......

Crank position sensor or camshaft sensor.

Just read your post. Mine is doing the same. I'll have at pook at mine. I'm thinking turbo though.

Could be wrong but it sounds like belt slap to me. I wouldn't it's your timing chain. Does it rattle when on first start up for a couple of seconds?

Hello there. The crank shaft sensor on mine was at 1 o' clock on the bell housing looking from the front of the car. I could see mine standing at the passenger side wing and looking below the EGR cooler. You will need an E8 Socket for the retaining bolt. Dont use any other socket because...

It's good to have with a Mercedes

I'm also in Lancashire. Nice innit!

Mine spat my intake air temp sensor out once. Its on the air pressure charge pipe going into the inlet manifold

The old o rings should be okay to re use as long as they aren't damaged. I took mine off recently to see if the diaphragm was okay. Put it back on and hasn't leaked or anything.

Cheers buddy. I'm not one for throwing parts at a car to resolve issues. That's why it took me so long. There weren't any fault codes and started okay everytime. Never cut out etc.... They're an easy part to overlook.

This is the cam shaft sensor I bought https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F303172837982 This is the crank sensor I bought https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F401443463680 Hope this helps anybody.

I remember testing resistance on the crank sensor. It was 1.81 ohms. The cam sensor is 5.6 ohm .the engine sounds a lot better and is a lot smoother with better perfect MPG. It also gets warmer faster now and stays at where it should be. I fully believe that the fuel wasn't igniting properly...

Mpg went straight back up instantly. All I did was change the sensors. Nothing else. Has been fine for 4 days now.

Hello. The engine felt as though it was detuned. Always holding back under throttle. I would get limp mode with an overboost code. But the turbo and actuator where found to be fine on star.. The cam and crank sensors wont throw a code even if they are faulty. This only happens when the car wont...

Hello all. I've been struggling with poor mpg for the past 18 months on my 2003 w211 e270. 180.000 miles The car was very hesitant to accelerate. Especially when cold. Was only seeing 60 miles out of 16 litres of fuel. My initial thought was the vanes in the turbo. But these were completely...

Also check the fuel temperature sensor. It is located directly on the high pressure pump at the front left of the engine.
