2013 E350 BlueTEC
E350 BlueTEC - Lack of Power, CEL On

So my CEL was on when I started my 2013 E350 BlueTEC and there was a noticeable lack of power when I began driving. It doesn't seem like the turbo is functioning and the transmission will not kick down. I had someone hook up a code reader to it and it came back with a laundry list:

P0102 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input
P010C - Mass or Volume Air Flow "B" Circuit Low
P0100 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit
P010A - Mass or Volume Air Flow "B" Circuit
P0489 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit Low
P00AD - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit High Bank 2
P00AA - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit Bank 2
P0113 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit High Input
P0110 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit
P2009 - Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit Low Bank 1

Does anyone have any thoughts or have seen this before?

Well I now know it's related to fuse #24. It was blown, I replaced it, cleared the codes, no change. Re-checked the fuse and the new one blew as well. Anyone know what that fuse services?

Very interesting. Hope to hear an update on this!
How many miles are on your car? Im at like 56k on a 2012 so curious when to expect this sort of thing to be a possibility. Its not wear related is it? Just some thing that happens?

So here's the diagnosis and fix from the dealer:

"The inlet port shut off motor is shorted. Caused by air mass housing oil leak. To repair leak and replace motors L-8.0".

All together, with dealer coupons, it was $1723 and change to get it fixed. Without the coupons you're looking at 2K at the dealer. I tried to shop the work to a German auto specialist but they didn't get back to me in time like they promised (said they had telephone and internet issues for a couple days) and it would have been closer to $1200-1300.

The sentiment I got from the dealer and the specialist shop is this is semi-common (they both guessed what the problem actually ended up being) on the model.

@Trancebolt I have about 86.5K on mine right now. I'd say it's a halfway decent chance you may see it down the road.

Wow, amazing this problem still exists. I had a 2007 V6 diesel and it had the same issue. The seal on the air intake allows oil vapors to come past and they eventually pool and run down onto the swirl motor. I retightened mine periodically, and also kept a piece of aluminum foil under there to catch anything. i also wiped it down once in a while. It's preventable with some maintenance. but I am surprised they never fixed the seal. It's a very common issue on the Bluetec V6 since 2007 model.
