Hi guys, I have a 200slk, got oil in the wiring and made the mod at the front of the engine. I never got into the control box but damaged the lamber at the back of the engine, I changed it but its failed this year again. I never changed the wiring so I guess it's my own fault, but there cant be any oil left in the bastid surely.
It wont rev up above 4000 rpm standing still, and all the readings are off the scale on the gas test, same as last time.
I cut back the wiring on the old sensor and there seems to be no oil in it, and the new one fitted last year only had a a little oil in the plug. Do you think the oil has shorted it out at the plug rather than seeping right into the sensor down the wiring, which I thought it had done on the old one. I cleaned the plug out with brake cleaner but its still the same.
I checked the flap on the maf and it seems to be ok.
Any advice appreciated.
