  1. An electric motor has malfunctioned. I could not comprehend the statement, but I believe it pertains to the exhaust manifold. It is possible that the swirl flaps are malfunctioning. The turbo must be removed. The repair will not be inexpensive.
  2. I have shared this in the "What have you done to your Merc today" thread, but I believe it may also be beneficial to put it here. I will provide any updates or solutions in due time. E350 CDi has the updated OM642 engine. EML activated en route to work on Friday. Successfully transported me there and back home, fortunately, without any apparent symptoms. Operated regularly, smoothly, without any knocks, responded well under moderate load, and emitted no smoke (did not attempt full acceleration). I presented it to my independent entity first thing this morning. It began adequately but exhibited hesitance in shifting gears. The vehicle shifts down automatically at approximately 3,000 RPM, while manual paddle shifting occurs at 2,500 RPM, and it does not exceed 5th gear with the 7G-Tronic gearbox. Otherwise, it seems satisfactory. I suspected the NOx sensor, but the mechanic disagreed, considering the gearbox issues observed this morning. I anticipate a call.
  3. The caravan seems to be engaging its brakes, which may be confounding the car's safety systems and perhaps triggering limp mode; however, I cannot ascertain why '200 miles' would be relevant. Did you want to refer to ESP rather than SRS? Was the vehicle 'coded' appropriately when the towbar was installed? To my knowledge, this is a procedure performed by MB, however I am uncertain about the age at when it became relevant. Opinions are divided on its need. Technology, indeed πŸ™‚
  4. Greetings, The air conditioning in my 2011 GL350 Blue Efficiency fails to provide cold air. All systems seem to be functioning well; I have examined the air temperature sensors using my iCarsoft, and no issues have been detected. It has never effectively cooled the incoming air since I acquired it, and using the system for over 15 minutes yields no improvement in the air supply temperatures inside the vehicle. The nearby garage has replenished the system's refrigerant. They extracted 750g of petrol and replaced it with 950g. The hoover test and other assessments were successfully completed with no leakage detected. The Icarsoft indicates a system pressure of 6.5 bar, but I am uncertain of its location (before or post-evaporator, etc.). The feature on the Icarsoft indicates that the compressor's duty is being appropriately requested, reaching 100% when fully cold, and gradually decreasing when the AC is turned off, in accordance with the control functionality. Do you have any suggestions on potential issues or methods for physically inspecting components to ascertain functionality before consulting a local mechanic?I seen a video on YouTube about possible collapsed compressor pipes, but I am uncertain whether that pertains to these automobiles. Thank you for your assistance.
