    Recall on GL, R, ML brake booster

    Ok so update. Car is at Merc. The full check is tomorrow however they are suspecting failed brake lines cause due to pressure test. This IS covered underneath the warranty recall so there is no cost to the customer - they acknowledge that the pressure test will have the potential to break other...

    Recall on GL, R, ML brake booster

    Hang on a sec though, if it’s been pressure tested and passed how did they not pick up a leaking brake line, if that’s what it is?

    Recall on GL, R, ML brake booster

    Good point. I’ll have to get it to the garage. Thanks for the advice. Is it an expensive fix? 2011 ML350 Grand

    Recall on GL, R, ML brake booster

    I wonder if this pressure test is over what standard driving would be? Seems unfair if I have to fork out if it was the machine broke it. ‍♂️ Could some fluid have just leaked out during the test? I didn’t see what they did to it

    Sounds plausible. Who’s liable though ‍♂️

    Recall on GL, R, ML brake booster

    I’ve no idea. Just had a knock at the door after 90 minutes saying passed, and the letter to say all ok. He’s obviously messed it up. Pretty angry about it, more time off work to sort this now

    6pm. Closed ‍♂️ I can see them charging me to view it, and then denying any involvement.

    Hi! Stockport - CLK 320,w208. GUMBALL!

    Ok update! All issues were sorted with new plugs and MAF. Cars been to Europe and lapped the Nurburgring with no issues at all. It’s been absolutely brilliant, totally reliable and quick with it. Everyone’s very impressed.

    Fixed! W208 CLK320, 2000. OBD2 Readers that actually scan.

    UPDATE! All fixed!! So. It wasn’t the throttle pedal sensor ( I changed it and it was no different). It wasn’t the throttle position sensor. Limp mode still there. They swapped all (12!) spark plugs, the misfire was still there. They swapped coil packs around, misfire still there (on...

    Hi. Thanks to everyone for the replies already by the way. No not converted to LPG. I’m sure the pedal fault right as the symptoms feel and sound like what everyone else had when theirs failed. That’s being done this week hopefully and then more than likely a new MAF, and then reset and see how...

    V6 yes. Hopefully they’ll pin point it, like I say, could be anything. I’m more concerned about the throttle issues - especially if I need to strut shopping around for the part

    So the orange one is the £24 streetwise from Toolstation, or actually anywhere online. The other one is the so called superior reader, it didn’t work.

    Long post but could be useful for W208 owners! So following on from my introduction post, which in summary said I bought a W Reg 2000, 99,000 mile, W208 CLK320 for a gumball rally in August. I have a throttle pedal issue it seems, where it’s going into limp mode and juddering. Such a shame as...
