Okay, I guess im guilty of joining as a direct result of a fault with my beloved MB! but now im here Ill hopefully use this site more often!
My 2003 E220 CDi auto estate has 140k on the clock and after getting the EPC warning for a few days on and off randomly and a check on the machine (not at a MB garage) its started just switching itself off whilst doing any speed and any revs...I believe its the FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE which at 160 new i was hoping to get a cheaper one next week and now im paying the price for waiting
whilst doing 30mph the revs drop to zero and wahay its a cutout and quickly pullover and hit the hazards!
it wont rev over 3000rpm and struggles to reach that...
I went out to it 5 mins ago and now it wont even start!! just turns over struggling to ignite...
having read a few threads with similar problems im really asking if this is a common fault and has anyone experienced exactly the same and what was the outcome...did the valve cure it..? do I need to buy the rail too etc...
any help is grateful...
