Hi All
i have a S class 350 bluetec which i have had since 2011. it was registered in 2010 and it has become my spare car over the last 4 years. so much that i dont drive it that much and have only clocked 101K. i think i must do 200 miles per month if that.
It has had full MB service when its warranty was in place and since then third party services, but where i havent done many miles regularly it just has had typical oil/filter type services.
I've recently noticed it seems to be sluggish at changing gears and with a bit of checking i notice it doesn't seem to want to change up from 5th gear; i can get it to 80-85mph which i feel seems to take longer than it used.
two days ago it popped up ADblue car wont start after 2000 miles, so i put ADblue in. 25 litres and can see in the spout that it definitely is full, but it keeps popping up with an ADblue message (not the one that indicates it wont start in x miles).
i used a ODB tool and it read different codes. On the first scan it read :
P20BD
P203D
P0C43
P20BD
then on the second scan.
P0405
P2BAD
P2BA8
PSBA9
I'm at a point where i dont know how expensive this would be too repair or the hassle and dont want to be taken for a ride so was wondering what peoples thoughts were.
if anyone knows an essex bsaed mb specialist and has had good experience i would appreciate some pointers.
