I went to look at this thing today. It was a POS. Not too high miles but just beat. Guy bought it for his college daughter. Smelled like dope inside, dirty, worn, stuff not working, paint bad, headlights totally hazed. POS but the body was actually quite straight.
Guy said trans was intermittently not shifting into drive. Put the OBD reader ($4wifi unit, talks to free CarDoc app on my phone) on it and got a bunch of codes, EGR, FI issues (exhaust smelled really rich), shifter sensor inop, trans turbine speed sensor, etc. Started and ran ok. The shifter wasn’t registering on the dash indicator so I knew the stick sensor was bad. Wouldn’t go into gear. I put the fancy computer on it, every system but the transfer case was showing hard and soft failures. Basically backed up what the OBD reader said. I couldn’t drill down into each system as this thing wants to use HHTWIN on the older 163s to drill down, then it won’t see the systems and the HHTWIN app crashes though DAS keeps running. Perplexing. Turned the car on again and shifter was working, imagine that. Went into gear ok. So I guess it was some intermittent fault in the shift sensor. I offered the guy $300 for it. He said he could get that from a knacker, and someone was coming Saturday with $500 so he couldn’t go less than that. Good luck... It would have been interesting for parts --FT Sent from iPhone _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
