yellow engine diagnostics warning lamp lighted

[Guest rich.wb.liu]

Juz to share my experience with this CEL. Got my W211 (Avantgarde w panno roof) 2 mths ago. A few days later the orange diagnostic lite came on...took it to MBM they said it's leaking air in one of 2 tubes from the Kompressor blower & gotto strip engine manifold lah dunno what...

so took it to C&C (was on last month of warranty) they fix the air leak in the blower pipe but the diagnostic lite still comes on but C&C told me it will cos the ECU & diagnostic wiring needs to be replaced as its damaged by oil or something....they ordered the parts (ECU, wiring, solenoid lah & dunno what else) came back 2 weeks later to C&C when parts arrived & had the ECU with all the wiring replaced in 1 full day...alot of hassle as I've to keep going back to Pandan Loop but good thing is now it drives like a beauty

& fortunately I still have warranty to cover me.

Towkay,

Also happened to me once when I pump Caltex 95. After about 15mins of driving on Caltex 95, the CEL lighted. I ignored. I pump back Caltex 98 Platinum on the next tank. Amazingly, the Light went off. I suspect is Low Octane Level running too lean. Not having any problem since I pump back Caltex Platinum 98. Did encountered the same problem on my Camry previously.

[Guest chiaster]

hmm... problems with Caltex 95? maybe, maybe not...

don't think it's the level of the octane, mate... i've been on Esso 5000 since day 1 and everything's been good so far...

Same problem happened to my W211 recently. Took more than 1 day to replace sensor, and have to wait for wiring from Germany, and replacement of wiring may take 2-3 days!
