Exclamation W203 went into limp mode :(

Hey guys, this is my very first post!!!, i recently replace my EGR valve on my 2005 W203, and a couple of day after replacing the EGR my car went into LImp mode, i hooked up my scan tool and ran a quick test and P0600, P1999 as well as P0720 code popped up after the car went into limp mode, kind of lost where to start checking since i already replaced the conductor plate on the car 3 months ago, i dont know if the EGR is what is causing the car to go to limp mode or im having electrical issues, i checked the battery voltage and battery voltage is at 12.5v, the car has 165,675 miles if that helps in anyway

Did you make sure all of the harness connectors are securely plugged in, and there are no tears, nicks or damage to the associated or nearby harnesses?

yeah I check the harness and no sign of any tears or damages, I also forgot to add the car also gave me a P2310 which is the first time I ever since this code, so I don't know if that code is what is making the car throw the other codes.

I would still look at harness / connectors. Swap out coil "D" (which ever coil that is) with a coild from a different position, and see if you still get a bad coil D code.
