I was driving my car recently, pretty hard but not ridiculous track type use and suddenly the car splutterd a bit and went into limp mode. Engine light came on.

Got my mate to plug in and had these codes come up.



Basically a problem with fuelling.....?

Now, the car had just been serviced, this was the first drive, probably did 25 miles.

Is it possible this could be a hose come off? something not been put back right.

car is booked in with mercedes to have a look but it would be nice to have some pre loaded info. Do fuel pumps suddenly just fail? do injectors suddenly fail?

Its way to complicated for me to have a look iykwim.

Im hoping its a hose come off hehe

Hose off would be a strange diagnosis.

Presumably it is driving ok now ?

More likely you ran it too low on fuel and it had some fuel surge and cut out for a bit.

No, its stuck in limp mode. Just suddenly happened, i was driving pretty hard. turned around, put foot down again, bit of splutter and then straight into limp mode.....

Hose off is wishful thinking i know hehe

Just find it odd how it was running perfectly and suddenly goes wrong with these codes. Im not sure things in the fuel system suddenly break? or do they?

Anything can break as suddenly as wind breaks

^^^ Wot 'e said.

Pretty much anything can just suddenly fail, and frequently does.

Did you not try to reset the codes and try again?

It looks like its all on the HP side of the pump, maybe that's the fault and the HP fuel pump has gone, when I used to build cars i always had a LP pump feeding a swirl pot and the the HP feed from the swirl pot, without high pressure the injectors will not be getting enough fuel.
