Sorry , that was the wrong link I posted

The OVP had failures , so they changed the part to remedy the problem . You want to see the part# on your OVP
The new part is 000 540 67 45 , the old is 000-540-52-45.. ,
If you have the old style , change it to the new replacement and see if that rectifies the problem.. A quick test for OVP is in my last posting to you ,, you tap the relay and try to start the car again. If it starts ,then the relay is suspect of having a problem [ very common]

The crank sensor takes some electrical meter testing to verify, but I would start with the OVP b/c of their HIGH failure rate and the part change that Benz took care of.
Use the SEarch feature on top of the page and list OVP.. it is all there in the Archieves..
