my engin fails sometime when i am driving
suddenly one bank fails but no indikation
with error code. when i stopping engine and wait
after a while it goes ok again.but the mailfunktion
comes again

change, plugs, rotors, coils, (caps seems new) try 2 EZL modules from other car, try 2 LH modules from other too. Thinking about crankshaft position sensor failing

Your car is in the 'last made' with the defective wiring harness insulation which turns to dust and causes shorts and lots of real bad stuff. Slit open the plastic jacket at a convenient hot spot and check it. If the insulation on the wires is cracking or worse, the entire harness must be replaced.

maybe a damaged CPS (2 in this engine) or maybe a Internal cracked distributor cap? But mine just fail at +/-80 degrees when full hot or bit cold 12cyl perfect

What could cause this engine malfunction only when the indicated temperature is 80 degrees C +/- a few degrees? ??
Is temp sensor indication wrong? and ECU shutting off cylinders to avoid overheating damage? There are two (2) temp sensors--one for gauge, the other feeds engine computer. If the computer feed one goes crazy, the ECU will shut off cylinders to avoid engine meltdown. That is the only things I can fathom failing only at the narrow RANGE of temperature are the Temp sensor or/and the ECU,
IF the thermostat has failed AND the gauge temp sender is also faulty and not indicating overheat, but the engine ECU one IS properly sensing severe overheat and ECU shutting off cylinders to protect the engine.

i will try the 2 temp sensors And update as soon

Check your engine wiring harnesses yourself. The 'new' harnesses will each have a FEBI tag around each harness assembly near the end connector. Lots of defective harnesses were 'in stock' in the parts supply system and got installed after MB decided to change to good insulation. Be sure and check the harnesses for the Electronic Throttle Assemblies. IF a New Old Stock (NOS) one was used, it will not have the FEBI tag on it.
