CPS comes up as a search for P0335 - I forget the code I had, but a CPS on a Merc is about as common a failure as filling it with petrol - DIY 30 mins so long at the pin bush housing (that's the name they use for the plastic bit of the multiplug) doesn't disintegrate in your fingers at you take the wires off

use the correct tools not a std socket or the wrong size euro mess - the pin bush housing will turn up in 3 days at local stealership if it fails for pennies CPS actually last circa 8 years and 45k miles

the U xxxx error I expect is just the can bus lying ignore it

P0016 and P1208 both come up as cam position errors - again a normal merc habit - cam chain worn , worse chocolate idler sprocket gone or old spec sensors - they had a recall to fit ones that worked many years ago - and if its leaking enough oil it runs down the wires and gets inside the ECU and causes fun - yet anther Merc specialty

Coil packs die all the time too
