My engine shut up
Last Wednesday i drove my ML320cdi to work in the morning. The engine just shopped on the way. When i was driving 80km per hour, suddenly stopped engine. I felt it slow down and stop. I couldn't start the engine again. I wait for 15 min, I can start it again. I took the car to dealer, they said it is becuase some plug was broken( I need to find out which one). But the dealer said they don't have it in stock and ask me to wait for a day. Today friday, I went to the dealer to pick my car up and drive back home. The engine is stopped again.
What should I do, do you think they can fix it?

The car seems not to be the problem it seems to be your driving. Perhaps you should give up driving and take cabs. We will all be lots safer.

It could quite possibly be the crank angle sensor failing when it gets hot. I've already seen a number of new generation petrol and diesls with this fault (they use the same sensor)
I'm suprise the dealer didn't work that out themselves as it always leaves a fault code on the new engines..
