Possible fuel leak?
Do you smell gas when u fill up?
Pull the rear seat out and check the access panel held in by six 10mm screws
See if gas puddles up in there when full?

Mine has this

/\ This. My buddy had this code and he had STRONG fuel smells when on a full tank. His would occasionally puddle up at the location under the rear seat.

My car tosses a similar code constantly and still havent figured out what it is. I get the P0455 code. Ive been told it might have something to do with the purge valve.

Because I guess its a pride issue for them. Compared to Mercedes net income, this recall wouldnt set them back dick. its really quite frustrating. Thats why im hoping this Class action suit we have gets this taken care of once and for ALL

Wow honestly dude
I did not want this to happen to you

But it seems you need to consider two things before joining the class action lawsuit

1. Note that we have all filed claims with the NHTSA
You can do it by reading this thread. (note if you type urgent in the search box, it wil bring up several threads dealing with this issue, but below is the best one.
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...leaks-e55.html

2. Now that you have filed the claim, you can do one of two things.....

A. Pay to have it fixed at a Mercedes Dealer, Shop around several dealers for the best price. In all likely hood it will be your entire gas tank assembly and driver's side fuel sender. It can add up to well over $2k. I would ask for a discount if you know your dealer well. A gas tank should not fail this early in a cars life. Now if you pay for this at a Mercedes Benz Dealer, there is a extremely strong chance that if a recall is issued for MBUSA to fix, you will be reimbursed afterwards. However that I cant see this happening if you went with a independent garage to fix.


B. Dont pay to fix it, clear the code, fill up your gas tank half way, and drive this way for the past couple of years like i have. It depends, i'm the only one who is in the car for 99% of the time. I dont get fumes or spills unless i fill up. Therefore i choose not to spend the money and wait for MBUSA to man up. If I had a family with little kids and this was my only ride, it would be a different story.

Yeah this is kind of like how Audi wouldn't recall the cam follower for the high pressure fuel pump on my 2006 A4 2.0T that kept getting a hole in it, wrecking the intake cam and the fuel pump...

I have no idea why these car companies are so reluctant to recall stuff!
