Quick update as I know you're all dying to know... The new EGR valve made it worse so that showed that something was going on with the intake/inlet manifold. A snake camera was put up into the tubes and we found a thick layer of "coke" build up on the valve flaps and the walls that was...

That's what they told me... Apparently, they had to download new software for the diagnostic machine and managed to replicate the fault without taking the car on the road... We'll see on Monday after they fit a new unit

Thanks for all the suggestions and advice... Turns out it was a faulty EGR valve that was causing the problem. I thought you might like to know.

Any recommendations for someone in the horsham area?

Thanks for all the input. The fuel filter was changed by the garage that it's at now. The car's in Horsham, West Sussex. I'd like a garage in that area or if anyone knows someone local to there. I say misfiring arou d the 2k revs Mark but after road tests the garage told me that it was misfiring...

This is true, and sounds like they ran every diagnostic they had at my poor car. I just don't want to have to pay for the time they spent on it... Then take it somewhere else to have to pay for the same tests and more. I suppose I'll have to bite the bullet and go to a merc specialist

I'm not sure what diagnostics they use but yeah they're not an mb specialist garage. They do have an amazing range of cars they work on though from M5s to lambos to masaratis to classics so I assume they're well equipped for all makes and models

Yeah over 2500 revs it smooths out for while but then it feels like the turbo is shut off and we go into limp mode. I'll get the car back on Monday and try the leak off test. Thanks

How is that proved without taking them out and bench testing? And if it is an injector, can it be repaired or is replacing with new the way forward? I'd have thought they'd all need to be worked on or replaced?

Hi, i'm a bit dumbfounded!! My W204 C320 cdi sport started "misfiring" at around 2000 revs when driving in auto mode. It was OK up to 2000 and over 2500 revs. I took it to a garage, they plugged it in and it showed no fault codes. They checked the injectors and "calibrated", cleaned the egr...

thanks - i've had a couple of issues with a module controlling the comand unit and rear indicators but that's all been sorted now!!

does it need to be an original mercedes PCMCIA card? i need to try to repair the eject mechanism without paying for a replacement comand unit

Thanks, is that a big job? where would i find a 2nd hand unit as i've looked on ebay and general google

Hi, The pcmcia memory card eject mechanism has failed and I've been told by my mechanic that it can't be fixed and needs replacing. Does anyone know; 1 - Where to get one (I've tried ebay) 2 - How to fit it and also 3- Where i can get a better pcmcia card - the current one is only good...

Hi, thanks. I've added some pictures here. I hope they're clear. Yeah it seems to be a solid piece of machinery. I like it.

Excellent thank you, I'll have a look.

Hi, I'm completely new to owning Mercedes, I've had mostly BMWs in the past but just bought a 2008 C320 and I'm a bit annoyed it's taken this long to discover how nice they are to drive. For the age it is in showroom condition and only has 47k on the clock. I'm not sure exactly the spec as some...
