E240 - Engine Cutting Out Issue

[sanjivsai]

Dear Users,

I need your help.
I have an E240 1998 Saloon, which has recently developed a problem.
The problem is that when the engine seems to get heated up (After say 30 minutes of constant driving), and you come to a halt the engine cuts out. The Car will not start until it has cooled down.

I have been given a number of explainations for this including
1) This is due to the Fuel pump issue.
2) The Starter Motor needs replacing.
3) Mercedes Benz use a special grease in the starter motor and if the
wrong one is used this can cause a problem.

Can anyone suggest what the issue is ?

Many Thanks.

Regards
Sanjiv
