I am almost always on the move and rarely do I have time to post here. I like your opinion, I have done now over 503000 in 6 years and 8 months. It has been from the UK to the black sea, Finland to Las Palmas, and From Ukraine to Portugal, this Caddy has covered all this area with only two breakdowns, one was in Germany stuck in traffic with the air conditioning on, blown up the alternator. And the second was a tensioner that broke into two, I was told it had a loose screw. Also, the gearbox was replaced because the original one was getting noisy. Rest, it was just serviced on time. Now currently have no big issues at all and still running with the following faults restricting the performance and I guess more like wear and tear.
Engine Control Module 1:
P245300
P223700
P045A00
P045F00
U029E00
P045F00
Adoptive Cruise Control (ACC) error B10E7F0
Symptoms:
The glow plug light comes on from time to time and also limps when going uphill but after resetting it goes fine Loss of power going uphill and fuel consumption is gone up from 52 mpg to 48mpg (ERG and Turbo replacement is recommended)
The engine management light (Nox Sensor) I have already bought it but need an installment
About the ACC, I investigated, it could be more related to EGR and Turbo but the brake light switch could be a possibility. It engages the ACC but drops off after a few seconds or after reaching peak speed.
My question is, shall I just fix it, or shall I start thinking of replacing the engine? It is a Euro6 DFSD so still has life. There is no smoke, no rattle, and the suspension is good and not noisy. Still start and can take me where ever I want to go.
. Very impressive.
