Hi guys,
As you may know already, the concern is about a 2003 model, E220 CDI, W211 - Avantgarde.
Well, I experienced problems about a 1-2 months ago. The car suddenly lost power. No power on any gear at all, and with a strange sound. A deep sound without any turbo-boost at all. It was like the engine didn't get any air at all.
I sent it to a official Mercedes retailer and workshop, and they read the codes;
EGR had to be changed, but since it cost 1500$ (live in a expensive country), I waited since they said that they could clean it and it would work for a time, but it had to be replaced anyways. So yeah, they engine was almost like new after cleaning (very smooth and good feedback from engine etc..).
But at that time, there was no power at all. Had to stop, since it couldn't get above 30 km/h, and wait a long time for the engine to get abit cold so I could drive home.
Well, yesterday I took the car fro a long trip (200 km), and on the way back home, the car lost torque. I could drive 120 km/h to 140 km/h, but no chance getting the engine to rev past 2500/3000 RPM.
Very strange sound, like the turbo is not working. No black smoke, though, only lack of torque and power. It doesn't seem like the problem I had with the EGR, so what could this be? Maybe MAF or something?
The thing is when I filled it up with gas and let air come in through the gas pin, after I started the car, it worked just fine. Also if I put the key in and out 4 times from the recognision, it will work just fine.
I will have to change the EGR for sure, but seems like another problem this one.
Guys, any help would be appreciated ALOT. It's a long post, but I felt it was neceassary to clearify what and how the problem occures.
Anyways, any input or recommendation would help out alot. The car has gone around 190.000 km.
