WiseSage Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Everything is occurring today. Recall 2090008 - replace the EGR cooler and update the engine electrical software. Has anybody else had this procedure? What was the duration? Did you see any variation? It is ostensibly a fire danger. I interrogated Mercedes on the Emissions Software, since I want to avoid any association with it. A colleague's Volkswagen was subsequently damaged, resulting in diminished performance and fuel efficiency. I am now awaiting a call to finalise the booking.

ForumGuru Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Intriguing. There is much discussion on the BMW forums about EGR Valve/Cooler recalls, with a prevailing feeling that it resembles a 'dieselgate' scenario. It is not asserted that this applies to MB; it may well be a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseSage Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 MB reports a malfunctioning valve, resulting in coolant inducing a chemical reaction inside a plastic manifold. Potential fire hazard; hundreds of thousands of vehicles subject to recall. They assert that it is not an emissions issue, but rather a fire hazard recall. Google corroborates this with the European Commission Alert Systems and Car Recalls EU. I would never let them to access my emissions software, haha!

jennycarlotta Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I do not perceive. Recall 2090008 - repair the EGR cooler and update the engine electronics The software has just two airbags and one more item that was not specified. What does this upgrade entail?

WiseSage Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Completed the procedure on a C300d. They just required software modifications, not an EGR replacement. Did not impact anything. I said that they did not do any emissions software upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpaco45 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It seems to be an excellent method to allocate some time. You are completely forgiven, my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
