[W211 E230] Have i bought myself a bottomless pit?

[Fifthmay]

Dear Bros...

I stumbled upon this forum while I was looking for answers pertaining to CEL on my W211

You see, i have taken over a Oct'07 W211 E230 with an existing CEL on condition, the dealer had promised
to solve the problem but after 2 rounds of rectifying with his workshop. The warning light still came back.

I had enough and went down to C&C for an engine diagnostics check yesterday and this is what it says
 

 

Any bros kind enough to enlighten me what shit i am in for and also C&C had recommended that to check the manifold, camshaft and some
hoses which could be leaking to trigger the CEL. Total cost: approx $4,000+ 

The dealer refuses repair at C&C and had recommended another workshop to me (HIN LUNG), any kind advise will be greatly appreciated.

My boss car W211, 2007 have some issue last month and ask me to take a look. Realise the CEL light show up and went to MBM alexandra, they diagnosis and confirm its manifold hose issue. Change hose on the spot and its good since then. $100

Yours seems more complicated based on the Data, perhaps u like to try MBM.

i've been sending my car to TJ Car Care at bukit merah for the longest time - super honest guy (his name also called Dennis) so you might also want to get a second opinion there. In my previous jaguar, what was quoted to be a $3K job by the AD was eventually solved by order a new MAF sensor for $35 on ebay. i might also suggest you try some overseas Merc forums for advice (esp when their culture is a lot more DIY than us in Singapore

Hi all,

 

thanks for taking time to respond. Had settled with Hin Lung, dealer paying for the repair $2500

 

Items changing

1) Intake manifold

2) Air mask (spelling?)

3) Cam magnet

4) faulty Visor (passenger)

 

Do the repairs command $2500??

Just hijack this thread

 

I was driving my E280 to work this morning and only realise the Check engine light was on

car drives as per normal

 

sent the car straight to TOP 93 for check up and was told to be a air mass sensor plus some leaks in the vacumm hose, will get it rectified and do a service also.

 

car still has 6 more months of life.
