Unfortunately they do fail reasonably often and can cause starting problems and fuel consumption issues so get it sorted quick!!!!:neutral:
WOW never thought a temp sensor could affect so much!, thanks will find it asap!
Hi, Just been off the phone to Mercedes and a local Merc specialist, both said that the ambient temp has no impact to the ECU etc..., it is purely for the driver.
Checked WIS and raised document GF54.30-P-4104A, which is applicable to 129, 140 >1.6.96, 170, 163, 202 with accessory code 240a (outside temp display), 202 as of 1.8.96, 168, 208 up to 31.7.99 and 210 as of 1.6.96 up to 30.6.99
Was only an option on 202 by the looks of it.
same relevance applies as with Vito.
