Sorry for not following up on my tales of woe, I was lucky to buy a new genuine Mercedes Air Flow meter on ebay very cheap from a guy that bought it and didn't need it, and since fitting it and getting the Regen working again she has had no issues at all, running like a dream... One thing though...

Good to hear @Wayne Madden, I'm in a perpetual intermittent low boost world since my burst pipe. I'm getting P0102 & P0103 MAF error codes now (Previously it would be error code unknown). I can clear the codes and it will drive perfect for a period of time but then it will splutter (as if...

They did mention it as a possibility, but I think it's not related as I'm still having issues with the car going into low boost mode and showing "unknown error" once cleared the car runs fine for a few months or a few days

Pipe Number 30

Yep it was easy to replace once you get all the guards off and yes it was on the passenger side.

Indeed you did Uncle Benz, I didn't realize that the lamp would work at all without programming, but it does, at least I now have a dip light :) and while she has been off the road I have had the wheels refurbished with a fresh Diamond cut/Powder coat and lacquer. Collecting them today.

Quick Update, I got an OEM "Hella" Ballast control unit and fitted it, The lamp now works but only as a Dip light (Previously it wouldn't work at all) the lamp does not increase its brightness when the head lamps are engaged. Any thoughts on this folks, is it now in need of reprograming by the...

Just tried the control unit after 2 days drying out and no joy, I have ordered an OEM control unit, should be here next week

The silly prat that owns the car ,aka Me, drove into a flood a while back and both head lamps steamed up, then the same silly prat (me) removed the back lamp covers and left her in direct sun and they dried out lovely, it was my (prat) poor replacement of the left lamp covers that caused the...

Yep it's the ballast control unit and a bonus point for knowing it would be full of water, the lamp is dry now so I swapped the driver's side control unit and it worked. Will I need to get the OEM replacement control unit coded by the dealer or is it plug and play?

Hi Folks New issue but possibly related to my previous posts (Water Ingress), the Mrs hit a large puddle of water on Thursday night in torrential rain, not enough to cause concern just a big splash. Friday morning going to work she noticed the Auto light function warning coming on and then go...

Well all's well that ends well, Merc back to normal, plus a software update that was pending, wash and hover out for the bargain price of €200.. plus s free Mercedes Me adapter. happy enough even though the dpf sensor was not necessary, nearly 50km done by the "Technician" to get the dpf...

Live update, I'm sitting in the Merc dealership, we had agreed to do a diagnostic and see what STAR showed up before going any further. Seems it's the dpf is almost completely blocked, they mentioned over 300(not sure what measurement that is) but he says he's never seen one that bad . Now they...

The unfortunately funny thing is back a while ago I had much the same issue only proper Limp mode 1000 rpm only, Merc guys know I'm a grease monkey told me "it's probably just a faulty sensor" so bright boy me, not believing the Merc guys as you do, started and took the EGR valve out and it was...

Thanks for the great feedback, I went for a real long run spin on Saturday in the hope the Re-Gen would start, 100 miles in all, no change. I take it that its a STAR only ECU flash that will resolve this, I mean will no other diagnostic setup can do it?

Hi All 2012 W212 220cdi Sport, 130k with full history, A few weeks back the Mrs was driving and noticed the engine light on, when I checked I could hear the air escaping on boost, put it on the lift and seen a 2 inch hole on the Intercooler pipe, so I ordered a new pipe and fitted it, checked...
