P0011 and P0014

You won't know till you do. A new cam sensor is about 25 £ . Normally the log codes from poor starting or miss fire .

Should I replace the solenoid as well?

No clue as what you refer to.

Timing valve solenoid which is behind the camshaft sensor/ magnet by the timing chain...
also I saw that earlier you mentioned that the car stands at 3000rpm but no it’s it’s usual at 6-700rpm the only codes it gives me is P0011 and P0014 and at first the codes were permanent but after changing the oil filter with the right one the codes went on pending status on their own and the car it’s slower
But not such an issue with rpm or anything else

........at first the codes were permanent but after changing the oil filter with the right one the codes went on pending status on their own

The codes changed from permanent to pending because the during that time, the water in the camshaft sensors was drying up.
What oil did you put in the gearbox?

Mercedes brand oil 5w40 purchased at Mercedes keeler

When you checked the engine oil after putting new oil in, what was the level on the dip stick? Was it above Max or below Max/

It was below Max. I was a little 3/4 from Min to Max

 

[mattkh]

Thanks for the quick reply.
Was it 3/4 from Max after you put in 0.5 quarts?

 

[Aldo ko92]

Thank you for getting back to me this quick, but no was before I added 0.5 quarts

And I just checked it now and it’s about at the MAX now

3000 rpm is the maximum revs for a vehicle in limp mode when the throttle is pressed down. Obviously not tick over speed.

Thanks for checking it again.
The engine oil should never be above the Max.
What is the mileage on the ML?

It has 72.000 miles.

Should I drive it for a bit to see if the codes get cleared out on their own since they’re pending?

 

[mattkh]

You seem to be good at working on the engine. At that mileage, take the MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor) out and clean the tiny element in it without touching it. I use a carburetor cleaner spray. There should be some U-tubes videos to see about it. See if that improves acceleration. If you can take a picture of the MAF element before cleaning, I will be grateful.
Is it Manual gearbox?

Thank you for your help, yes I usually work myself on the car...
I can definitely do that tomorrow since I’m at work now and I drove my other car...
