i think that he knows his stuff and you better hope that the electronic accelerator wiring is still good.

The wiring harness on that car (all 93 - 95 MBs) is very prone to failure - do a search here, there are plenty of threads.
You could ask him what codes were retrieved or retrieve them yourself using the push-button/LED combo on the diagnostic module.

I'm going through the bad wiring nightmare right now. Hope you get lucky with yours!
As skiier wrote, see if he will tell you what the codes were. Depending on when your car was made, you may be able to get the base codes yourself by counting LED flashes.

Hi,
since this morning my Check Engine light is on when headlights are turned on (low beam / high beam), the warning light goes off again when I turn off the headlights.  I cannot figure out why turning on/off the headlights has something to do with "Check Engine". I'd appreciate all suggestions, thanks!

sounds like someone has had the instrument panel out and the bulb for the light bulb out light is plugged into the check engine light hole.why don't you check and see if you have one of the small bulbs out when the lights are on.fix it and see if the light goes out.
