Aimless and 2008 Mercedes E320 Bluetec limp mode

Troubleshooting OM642 Mercedes diesel in W211 sedan limp mode

[@Nyck461]

Man, your video and your your history at the end of the video was very useful. I have the same car with the same issue. My the "cheap OBD" also showed me as "DPF restriction". I have my DPF cleaned by a company specialized in DPF cleaning. They clean using a cooking system which I read that is the most sophisticated and the correct method. I had the DPF installed again on my car but the engine light still on but I got a improvement for better on the Limp Mode. Chatting with other MB Bluetec owners they said that "as my car was runnig for so long with the DPF restricted I should bring it to a dealer to have the system reset to clear the code from the car computer. I didn't do yet but according with your history the this reset must be done. I still driving with engine light on. Thanks for share your history.

what code or codes will this throw?

So brother i have. 2359 to low boost pressure checkcharge system . I see that by the charge system is full of black corrosion oily type . But I did disconnect one of my maf sensor and the car starts to run better than the condition it is when its connected . Could the maf sensor be my problem or maybe some boost leaks on my charge pressure system

[@KevinKalden]

Sorry but all I can do is guess. Check the rubbers hoses that go from the engine to the inter cooler. Look for cracks.

I have same issue... just replaced that intercooler hose on passenger side. Initially the low rpm torque was much improved. Then it kept going into limp mode....Do you think your problem was eventually fixed by resetting the air filter and maf adaptation? Or was the dpf the issue for you? I got error codes for maf so I think the extra boost from the new hose caused my issue.

[@KevinKalden]

Sorry to get back so late. I had maf codes and spent the money to replace them only for the problem to remain. The key is to have a quality diagnostic tool and someone who can read it. Before buying my Autel tool I took the car to so called experts only to get a slew of crazy answers. The tool cost about $1000 if I remember correctly. What would a trip to the Mercedes’ dealer cost after they sold me a pile of parts I did not need? Good luck. I hope you subscribe to my channel.

@@KevinKalden Thanks for the reply... I did end up getting a decent scan tool. Though driving for a few weeks 'gently' and preventing the limp mode had actually got the car to slowly adapt to it. Since my tool didn't arrive for several weeks(due to supply shortage). I was able to confirm since I floored the gas pedal and could spin the rear tires without getting limp mode. When I finally got my scanner, I did reset the MAF and reset the air filter just incase. Car is doing great now...FYI... I only did air filter and intercooler hose replacement. I didn't replace MAF.

Did it work

[@KevinKalden]

Not being a smart ass or anything I must ask did you watch the entire video. On you behalf I just watched it again figuring I missed something. The video might be long but I think it has valuable information and went through at least three possible causes. So did it work? What work? The induction hose replacement? The MAS air flow replacement? Or telling the car the air filters were replaced?
