« on: 13 August 2020, 14:53:11 »Actually WIS doesn't give a torque specification...Try 22Nm
Where did you get that from, the correct torque setting is 7Nm.

For the purposes of the exercise, I presumed your car to be WDD204203....... C250CDI BlueEFFICIENCY T-Modell, C250
It's a 220, sensor fitted, jobs a good'un. It's impossible to get a torque wrench on the bolt anyway, so the torque setting is irrelevant

What's its post restoration life going to consist of? Mostly static displays at the centre, or does it have a specific job(s) to do once ready?

Wouldn't you be over the towing limit of your car?

« on: 12 August 2020, 08:59:03 »Am I misreading something, as the codes posted show minor/condition code is 00 ?
ESP : C111200; C327100: C326600
C is chassis. 1112 is the major fault code 02 is the minor. In this instance 1112 refers to a bad front ABS sensor.
So a quick lesson in DTCs, the first four digits are the circuit identifier, the last two, the condition identifier.
C1112 is the front left wheel speed sensor according to my info.
the 02 is an implausible signal.
That tells me that electrically all is ok (not open circuit, short circuit, short to batt) so there is a either an issues with the reluctance ring or a load of crudd affecting the signal.
No, you are correct, from what I've read up about it, it's a fairly common fault on my model, new sensor should cure it.
Worst case scenario, it could be the Reluctor ring which is a lot cheaper, but a bit of a pig to change.

You need a decent car
I must admit, most of the advice is take it to a dealer and get it connected to Star
Money seems to be no object to some of them.
Some, but not all of them
I resemble that comment

« on: 11 August 2020, 18:01:15 »Hit a pothole, dash lit up like a Xmas tree, fault code ABS front nearside sensor.
New one being delivered on Thursday.
Lets hope it is just the sensor, its not usual for a reluctance device to be damaged by a few Gs, its generally things with a bit more mass such as reluctance rings etc
Fault code says it's the ABS sensor, similar warnings on the Merc forum were cured by a new sensor.
Mr Haynes has a guide on how to change it, but no torque setting for the 'one time' bolt.
What was the sub code for the DTC (trouble code), open circuit, short circuit, short to batt, implausible signal?
The ECU has no way of exactly determining the failure, its a symptom report only
