E290? Obviously from your location this is a European car? Is it diesel or petrol?
With an epc warning I would imagine diesel!
Can you not get the codes read on star?

 

[peregrin]

Yes its diesel. Im all new to this, so getting the codes is new for me too. I would be very happy if you could help me with this.

I think this engine has injector needle lift sensor issues, like the sprinters?

But the resolution has to start with getting the fault codes checked.
