Check PCV and vacuum leaks.

Check your EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve, maybe it has been clogged, stuck closed or opened. Vacuum leaks also must be checked. Your throttle body must be checked for dirts and oil stains.

I agree with him.

Cleaning your EGR valve should help for the meantime.

During the meantime, get one bought NEW off Amazon or ebay.

It's a tokunbo car, just bought it in, so I wouldn't know if anything was done.
All cylinder misfire is the only code

Thanks for your input, I will mention it to my mech.
If the EGR valve has a issue, shouldn't that be picked up by the scanner.
As at last scan only error code was for all cylinder misfire

It may also come from your engine wire harness, had that happen to me before

Thank you all, I finally had to replace the engine after so much trouble shooting and no solution.

Guess this w211 engine is problematic, from my research it is usually not rebuild able. Once it loses pressure that's it. This is the second one ghosting me in less than 1year.
from my mechs to part guys in ladipo, to my electrical guy everybody advised on trying to fix it as it was a journey into futility .
I even had another brain box programmed on it, still gave same error code.

It's the same thing with all Benz. Just look for a good octane booster and the misfiring will cease

I guess you mean the M272 engine.
W211 refers to the chassis for the E-class from 2002 - 2009.

When I dey tell them,them dey argue.
Old luxury cars aren't worth it in my opinion.The money and the attention it takes from you is just something else.
I'd advise the op to get rid of it if he can.

It's not octane booster oga.
The misfire was the reason previous owner in the USA decided to get rid.

It's not our fuel.

It is simply a case of a bad engine.

OP, glad you got it sorted.

I guess you brought this in as accident free.

...largely true..the exceptions however are Lexus LS400 and 430. Those cars are bomb proof! They can go on forever. German luxury cars are pure evil after about 10 years .
