2013 CLS250 AMG P2454 fault / Recall

[archyrcv]

Hi all , iam new here . so my car went into limp mode briefly the other day and even though i could still drive and achieve same speed as normal the acceleration wasn't there and the revs were higher than normal. I guess the mpg would have gone down too.
Put my icarsoft system on and found

P2454 PENDING PARTICULATE PRESSURE SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW came up

I guess its the dpf sensor that needs changing or something , so Ive heard not to fit the Bosch ones so anyone have the specific dealership genuine part make / serial number etc
Also is this a definite fix as the car drives normal again since i cleared the codes. Do i control or reset the sensor through the scanner ??

Also separate issue , I have a recall on my car so the DVLA have said is still outstanding so I contacted the MB dealership in Oxford but havent had a response and its been a week or so is this normal or will i have to chase these ????

Welcome

Cant help with the sensor query (others will)

Regarding recall. If you got to Gov.uk MOT checker, there is a section that shows if your car has a recall and maybe even tells you what it's for.

The last MOT on my ML states that my car is subject to a recall ..... it doesn't say what it's for though. (it'll be the emissions software 'update')

thanks guys i will respond soon as i know more to assist others .
Re the dpf , i reset the system without doing a regen and its fine for now but probably do a overhaul anyhow

Update on DPF
Taken the car in to Air Cooled Engineering in Cowley Oxford, good company to be fair they have done a few jobs in the past on various cars / vans ive owned.
£125 to change the sensor and reset . Seems to have done the trick and they said it was pretty standard so all good there.
I will keep you all posted.
