My Mercedes Benz SLK350 (2006) had error codes 0301 and 0351 (rom Auto Zone
What is your question?
The above codes came on when it was misfiring (which i explained to them is random).I took it to the shop, and they found other codes (I'm sure...it is a 2006). After looking at their codes, they found the bumble flap to be loose. They repaired these..and i was hoping it fixed my problem. They felt it would possible fix the problem. They did switch the coil to another circuit without a misfire or new code..which is no surprise since the misfire is random. Am I being unreasonable in my frustration that I paid out 1,400 to have the tumble flap replaced, (because it was loose) and still having to take it back, and now paying for a stupid coil replacement?! (He showed them the misfire codes, and explained this was when the engine was running)
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK350. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
the best way is to go to a shop with a mercedes diag.equipment because misfire codes can be tricky.starting from low compression,bad spark plugs and coils or vaccume leak.hope this help you.
Thank you. :) I think it was frustration more than anything. Apparantly, the tumbler flap had broken off below, and despite needing a coil replacement, I was only out the gas back to the shop, as they wrote off the labor cost, and only charged me for the coil. Just frustrated that i went in simply for the misfire, and found out 1600 later, that it was just a coil misfire. They did read all the codes, and the tumbler flap was one of those codes. No such thing as a perfect science...even with cars
