My Merc has an error...
My car is a Mercedes C-Series Sedan. The EX/TEMP indicator light appeared on the console today. The car does not seem to be overheating but is running hard & feels as though its going to shut off when I come to a standstill. Do you have any idea what the indicator means?
Our answer:
Hi there,
Without more information on the model year and engine we can't easily look this up for you, but it would suggest that there's an error with one of the temperature sensors needed by the engine management system, which could lead to the running issues you've described. Best bet is to get the car along to a good mechanic to plug it into a diagnostic computer. That will pinpoint the issue.
