You can either spend a lot of time and money throwing parts at the car, hoping that you get lucky, or you can pay to have a good MB tech trouble shoot it for you. Many of us here prefer not to take our cars to a tech because it's kind of like admitting defeat (at least that's how I feel).
I am a little confused . From what I have read the code reader that I build will pull the codes that the dealers scanner that plugs into the 39 pin connector will , at best.
I watched him use the scanner when we changed the fuel filter last week . Also my friend / dealer mechanic who I know for 15 years said it gave him no codes.

Are you saying the code reader I would build would find codes when the MB scanner would not ?

Both of these mechanics are Techs . Do you think I could do better on my own with the code reader than they can with all their equipment
