Hi Guys, Total newbie here and hoping you excellent people can put me in the right direction.
My 2002 220cdi has developed a problem almost overnight and to be honest it's ripping my knitting.
It starts great but there is a weird noise when the turbo boosts up that appears to be coming from the front passenger side . It then goes into " limp mode " and I struggle to get it above 60mph and it limits to 2000rpm.
A mate who dabbles with cars had a look and after plugging it into his reader said that there was no reading coming from the MAF sensor. I bought a new one and fitted it. There is no fault code now for the MAF but the problem persists.
He thinks maybe the inlet manifold is goosed , we have looked for maybe a leaking pipe but to no avail .
I am going to take the beast to a local place to have a smoke test done on it before I possibly buy a manifold it does not need.
Another thing it started doing was that when sitting at a junction waiting with my foot on the brake and car in drive you could feel strong vibration coming through the pedal, this was a new symptom.
Do these ring any bells with you nice people as I know bugger all about Mercs or diesels ?
Any advice would be greatfully received .. Many Thanks
