I googled different P0410 issues, and one was hoses. In California it won't pass with a check engine light. My mechanic said I needed to pay him $100 to run diagnostics and then whatever the repairs were. I bought a cheap OBD II reader, to make sure P0410 was my only problem (it wasn't once I had to replace my gas cap). I have had this code for some time now, and only got serious lately as my (California) smog check loomed. I found the shutoff valve which looks like the check valve is just right next to it about a foot away and is very accessable. My engine differs a little bit on the photo. I should not have any problems with the plugs since I replaced them new with 4 prongs early this yr. The cold start definitely is very rough, which feels like after turning the engine ON - I have to rev the gas once since it seems like the engine will not be able to start and would just die if I let it. Although, yesterday I checked and found there is still power going through the kompressor which IMO, the kompressor is not damanged. I'm not very familiar on the schematics of the engine and will try out this method and see. The boost is totally gon from the kompressor and I guess maybe from this thread it is due to the check valve being shut which the air isn't going through the engine. Well, I'm still driving the benz since then. I just wonder how it managed to mess the MAF sensor as well. No thanks.I just got the P0100 and P0410 codes a couple days ago for my 2K C230 Kompressor 150K miles I just replaced my MAF Sensor Last yr from Ebay (non orig part for $40) I guess that did not last long. Have to buy the Mercedes factory tool special dipstick for upwards of $70 or a third party maker for $30ish. No way to check tranny fluid, there's no dipstick. Believe sensor is $200-300 or live with the light. Turns out the coolant level and the tranny level sensors are tied together, one goes bad the other gets tripped. Coolant level was fine, did a flush anyway as it was about due and light was still triggering. Recently had an issue with a sensor tripping the coolant light. Flimsy glovebox while lockable easily opens, cupholder, while cool doesn't function correctly most the time. Many issues with the moonroof, washer fluid resevoir, random electrical gremlins tripping lights. My sister has one, earlier coupe (2000 or 2001) auto, nav, panaramic moonroof, feels like a dog, supercharger doesn't engage till you're almost pedal to the floor and even then there's a long delay and handling isn't what I'd describe as sporty. One time we drove her merceds and my miata back from Robeling Road to Pensacola and got exactly the same gas mileage, In the end I would say I like the car, it's handy and sporty enough for a daily driver, when I get serious about getting sporty I jump in my supercharged miata. My mech says that the man gear boxes for mercedes are not real strong, so probably would keep that in mind. Kind of fun breaking the rear end loose in a mercedes. I have also autox it a couple of times and it does fine, just use the manual mode and it will stay in 2nd for the whole run. My instructor drove a bmw and was impressed at how well it did. Lastly I had my first track day at road atlanta in it, was great, had sticky Conti sports on it. Good support on the web, at MBorg and MBworld.Ĭar drives nice on the fwy, getting about 31mpg, driven cross country a couple of times. On last service our good local Mercedes guy noted that the rear tranny mount had worn down enough to warrant replacing. Recently the thermostat started sticking so it triggered the check eng light. Kind of expensive to replace, not a hard job but I didn't want to mess around with the air bags. ![]() With 72k miles we have had only small problems, both doors had to have the locking mech replaced because they had a problem with lack of lube causing the microswitch to go bonkers. It's an auto of course, but being an 04 it got a new engine which is slightly smaller displacement, but same hp. My wife still loves it and plans on keeping it for 20 yrs.
