Fault codes: P246309 and P010106! Help!

[Razzak]

Hi guys,

New to this but already need some advice.

Two weeks ago coming off the motorway and she went into limp mode. Had it checked and it was a turbo intermittent fault, code cleared, everything back to normal.

Two days ago back into limp mode with the codes P246309, P010106!
I understand that the DPF may be clogged? Whats the best way to deal with it, any advice is help as I hear it is quite expensive to deal with?

(2012 c220cdi coupe W204)

Thank you!

What code reader are you using please?

 

[Razzak]

Ethos? I'm unsure as I took it to my local just to get the codes read.

P246309

Thats a DPF error - too much soot in it.

P010106

Thats a MAF fault.

A dealer should be able to force a regen on the DPF if its not too clogged.

I won't comment on the codes as LK has most helpfully done so.

However- to properly read fault codes on a Mercedes, you need an MB- specific reader/ scanner. Generic code readers will not necessarily tie up with MB DTCs and in some cases can differ quite far from what the MB code actually means.

iCarsoft i980, iCarsoft MB-II are the ones most commonly used. There are others though- a quick forum search will bring up some possibilities for you.

Thank you for your help guys

Did you ever fix the P010106 error code? I have the same code.

I am afraid that code and description is nothing like you would get on STAR diagnosis.
