Already replaced the faulty wiring harness on my mercedes e320 at a high cost due to faulty engineering used biodegradable wiring harness now I need the electronic throttle actuator also a high dollar item same thing corroded falling apart wires and mercedes knows of this please help I need some relief of this mess part#0001415725 thanks..
Crumbling fuel injection wiring harness causing stalling, misfiring, exposed wires a fire hazard and a "no spark condition" causing dead cylinders to pour raw fuel into catalytic converter resulting in heavy smoke and an emanate serious fire hazard. This condition destroyed the $1200 catalytic converter leaving the vehicle unable to pass state emissions testing. Mercedes-benz refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem an offers no remedy. Maybe after someone gets hurt or killed , there will be some action.
