MB in its 'infinite' wisdom probably figured it's a feature it does not really need or merit in Euro-spec cars....many of the issues that would illuminate the CEL are tied-in to EGR/emissions problems that are purely attributable to US-spec autos.

Quick questions Kowalski - do you have four catalytic converters (two left and right), and do you have four O2 (oxygen) sensors, 2 per as well???

Hey MR Staplergun the eurotrash version of c43 is the same as us version meaning same 4 cats and and 4 o2 sensors. but in options the eurotrash is better than us version,meaning i have outside blinkers on my fenders, parking help on my bumpers front/rear, auto folding mirrors, lower sport suspension etc,etc cheers mate
