Question about engine management on a Mercedes 316 sprinter 2.8 engine 2003 model.
VIN WDB 9036122R46****
My Mercedes vehicle, which is campervan base, has done 44K faultless miles with regular servicing. In its life, on three occasions, it has been in very long slow traffic jams of over 2 hours. Immediately after these jams the vehicle seems to have lost its power and feels as if it is running at about 75%. After either stopping for a few hours, or driving very briskly, it recovers its full power.
My question is: Does the engine management recognise driving style and circumstance and the need for less power and automatically remap the engine's output to suit?
The vehicle has been regularly serviced. It does not need a new air filter or fuel filter. The engine management light is "off". There are no fault codes showing. There are neither stored fault codes nor impending fault codes. This engine does not have an EGR valve and to my knowledge a particle filter is not fitted.
Any views would be helpful.
Thanks.
