Hi All,
My e250 coupe was fine tmthis morning then half way to work the dreaded yellow engine management light came on. On the way home I noticed the car won't go past 3000rpm and feels like the turbo isn' working so I'm guessing the car has shut the turbo off and gone into limp mode? Do you have any ideas what it could be? The code was P2279 which I believe is a air intake leak. I lifted the bonnet and can hear a hissssing sound which I positive wasn' there before it seems to be coming from the right side of the engine. When im driving and press the accelerator Iim sure I can hear air escaping?? Please Help.
Thanks in advance
