Hi, i have a coupe. for eighteen months good car no problems until now, do not do too many miles before, but now job with stop start delivery's. car starts no problem but after a few journeys and the car is hot when i stop and quickly try to restart the car will not start. it cranks okay but will not start. if i leave the car for ten to fifteen minutes the car starts again. when the car is cold i e first thing in the morning it starts no problem. it only seems to happen when the car is in a stop start situation.

Hello, i have found the problem. it is the( camshaft sensor) went to a garage that does German cars and the guy was good enough to plug in his computer and found the fault and told me where it was located and charged me nothing. he did tell me to buy a Mercedes part as copy's (euro parts etc) can cause problems in the car £34 pounds from a Mercedes dealer, hope this can help someone in the future.
P/S easy to fit.
