Hello ,
This is my first post so bear with me.
My sisters 280 developed a miss fire , having dealt with a similar issue on this car before i replaced the coil pack controlling the cylinders that were missing.
Long story short it turns out that the 12 vault supply wires to the coils were shorting out inside as all the insulation had cracked and degraded.
During this time i had disconnected the battery as a friend had suggested this would reset the ECU.
Now i cant test to see weather my quick fix on the wires has worked because on reconnecting the battery , the alarm wont dissarm.The remote central locking works fine but i dont get the usual beep and indicator flash to indicate the alarm has shut off.
Battery is currently charging as i think my many hours of testing and engine cranking have drained it some what.
Please if anyone can help me here i would appreciate it as my sister has my car while i fix hers.
also is it possible to replace this section of the wiring loom that connects to the coils or is it time to get busy with the black tape.
Thanks in advance
