Re: The engine's differential pressure sensor is providing inaccurate data.

I simply wanted to demonstrate that if other readings, such as exhaust back pressure, are normal, it's likely that the DPF pressure differential sensor is faulty. The removal of the sensor will reveal whether or not there is a blockage in the little tubes that connect the DPF to the sensor. I did st...

Re: The engine's differential pressure sensor is providing inaccurate data.

Due to their short length (150 mm), I blew out the pipes and injected DPF cleaner into the DPF through them. White gunge filled the plastic tubes of the sensor. There's no use in installing a DPF as they produce the same amount of soot as a vehicle without one.They simply do it at various times.

The engine's differential pressure sensor is providing inaccurate data.

I utilised my Icarsoft Pro to identify the problem (DPF 400%) after the warning light on my S204 turned on; otherwise, all of the readings were excellent. I find this surprising because my Mercedes is usually reserved for extended road trips. I had the same thought: I really need a DPF pressure diff...

Re: The framework

Since this is becoming increasingly rare, it might be worthwhile to indicate which dealer did it for free. But if there's an unexpected surge in requests for free subframe replacements, it's likely that's it!

Re: Energy Efficiency Mode 3008

My 3008 (2017) also experienced a comparable problem. At first, it was just economy mode on/off. Then the battery died. Even after getting a new battery, I would occasionally get "electrical circuit system: repair needed" failure and economy mode popping up. Other than that, the car always...

Re: "When I was a boy".........

Actually, it's possible. My luxuries are important to me. I begged for someone to turn on the heater (it was, but it never reached the back of the car) or open the front window for far too many years while sitting in the back, either freezing or sweating buckets. The car I drive is basic but dependa...
