After 2 days all of a sudden while driving, the engine light warning comes on again.The engine starts having problems and feels like 2 Cylinders are not working. All of a sudden misfiring and having spasm attack "spattering".
It really felt weird. Good Thing I was able to get home. I called Mercedes Roadside Assistance and had my car towed from my home to the closest dealer.
They did a diagnos and found that the Magnet Cam Adjuster leaked internally. And the wiring harness was full of oil.

My car is a 04 w203 C230 and only has 45,000 miles. And I no longer have Warranty!

This sucks!

Sorry just ranting frustrations!

 

I had the car fixed:

They cleaned the sensors and wiring harness with solvent and I ordered the " fix"
that Mercedes sells. It is basically a short section of loom with an oil stop in it. Which prevents the oil getting any further to the loom.

As a preventive measure. Some will say the ECU can be cleaned.
But to Gaurantee no repeat troubles, a new loom and ECU is the mercedes Way!

 

This is a common issue. But I've read both posts repeatedly, and I still don't understand. Just 29 minutes separates both posts, yet in that time it broke down, was diagnosed, and repaired?

Edit:
I just noticed you posted this same thing word for word in the M111 cam sensor thread (where it belonged, I suppose) - here: https://mbworld.org/forums/3662501-post79.html. I just can't understand creating a NEW thread to post a carbon copy of what you already posted.

 

Let it go brother.... I'm a newbie lol!
The car has been in the shop since last Thursday. And was finished last Saturday.

 

lilbenz is on a newbie killing spree lately LOL calling them out on their posts lol. first the dual exhaust guy no this. im loving this!!

 

It's really not personal. I just don't get it when a person does use the search function, posts in the correct thread - and then STILL creates a new one about the same thing. The search function being "difficult to use" argument is solely because of crap like this.

 

Just to correct you. This was posted first!

 

As the OP of this thread, after finding the search function and the correct place to post this, you can elect to delete the thread. Just to let you know.

 

Sounds like a very unfriendly group to me.
