Good day, so I have done some reading thru some old threads and still wanna just throw out the situation I got and see what comes of it. So got a 2006 diesel, 176000 km, since winter and mainly for sure this spring, generally when I first take off with my car it’ll drive a bit then get the dreaded 3 bars, usually I just restart and good to go. Rarely does it do it again until I sits awhile off and I take off again. I used my Delphi reader and I get P2402 - transmission blockage ; malfunction P2403 - gear cannot be engaged when clutch is closed P1925 - transmission position sensor noe these have been on here for I don’t know how long as I haven’t had my laptop to hook up for a couple months. so anything thoughts with this or does it have to go straight to Mercedes ? All in all car runs great for the most part, seems to take off kinda rough, not sure how to explain it but jerky on the initial take off in 1st also I’ve had for ages now my glow plug light stays on always and I also have permanent code P1482 glow output stage, open circuit bad glow plug or controller? What can I do to check thanks in advance for any help -
10 days ago on Friday, I had the 3 glow plugs replaced although only one tested bad. After starting smart 3 times, the check engine light went out. It was out on Sat and Sun and the glow plug lite was displaying normally. On Mon. the lights were back to displaying as they had b4 I changed the plugs. I took the car back. Mechanic said he checked all the connections and tried to clear the code but it just came back. So I'm stuck with a check engine light and a glow plug light that stays on after the start until I drive a couple hundred yards. Today I disconnected the battery and reconnected after 30 minutes. No change. Anyone have an idea on what the problem might be? I think I read somewhere in the forum about a 'fuse' that could be a culprit? Thanks in advance for your help. Don -
So I purchased a 2005 CDI fortwo a few weeks ago. I live in Florida and it’s 60 degrees this morning car won’t start. When I first turn the key over I notice the glow plug light doesn’t come on for more than 1 or 2 seconds then goes off. Every video I have seen it comes on and stays on for a bit until the glow plugs are heated up then they start it. Haven’t really had any issues until this morning. Battery is brand new been trying to start it for about 30 minutes now. Any ideas? Thank you.
