Hi All,
My ML270 CDI auto (W163 2001 model, 130K miles) has had problems with going into limp mode for a few months. Ive changed the maf sensor (it was dead ;-) ) ,cam and crank sensors as they were erroring, glow plugs and "starter pack" and just now replaced the inlet manifold as the old flaps were completely shot and the errors were pointing to it.
Its got new oil and filters.
When I initially turn the car on its revving fine but just after setting off it will go into limp mode and stay below 3000rpm. Turn the engine off, then back on and you can be out of limp mode again. When she's not in limp mode kick down works and the turbo cuts in and it flies! .... but thats never for very long
So my latest errors are "P1189 Inlet port general shutoff error" (we think the port motor is good but we're going to take a closer look - we didnt change while doing the inlet manifold as the old manifold was offering no resistance and was spinning loose so we guessed the motor had won that battle. ;-) )
The mystery error is "P1192 B40 (Oil sensor (oil level, temperature and quality) ) Synchronization pause error.
Now im suspecting the P1189 is just a symptom of the sensor error, but where is this oil sensor and do they go bad or will it be a bad connection (as the snapon diag reader said was a potential problem).
Strangely enough my old friend mr Google cant find much on these codes, can anyone help?
Thanks
Martin
