What owners wrote
Adblue heater/senor for the emission control on the 2011 mercedes-benz e350 bluetec fail after 80,000 miles the problem with the system is that it starts a count down which is displayed on the dash to how many starts are left before the car completely shuts down and will not start because of a heater/senor. So here I am held captive by the number of starts I have left to get the car to a dealership to correct the problem.
Fuel tank was filled until automatic nozzle shut off was activated. Vehicle was driven home approx 3.5 miles and parked in the street. Next day there was a puddle of fuel approx 2 ft x 2 ft on the pavement and under the car, just forward of the right rear tire. I watched for several minutes, and noticed it was still leaking at the rate of one drop approx every 2 mins.
