First thing you need to do is have the fault codes read out using diagnostic equipment and then post the codes here and I can help you to diagnose the problem.
He most probably used an OBD II unit and checked the drivetrain only, you need someone who can test the body, ie ASR. ASR faults will kill engine power and it does this for good reason, without the ASR functioning correctly the car is not stable under power.
I am fairly confident that if you fix the ASR/BAS problem the engine will perform normally again.
I was hoping you could help with my problem. I have a 1999 C230 Kompressor. This weekend I was changing a flat tire. While the wheel was off the car fell and the dirt shield behind the disk bent. After getting the tire fixed, I tried straightening the shield before putting the tire on. After the tire was on, I started to drive and in a couple of mintues the bas/asr light came on and the car shutoff. After waiting a while, I restarted the car. It idled for a while and then the same thing happened. The bas/asr light came on and the engine shutoff, the car was not moving, it was still in park. Is the problem the asr sensor, if so how do I fix it?

The lights coming on is most probably the wheel speed sensor for the side that was dropped whilst changing the wheel, the sensor is fitted behind the hub. But I do not know why the engine shut off, it should go into limp mode and not completely shut off.
Benz engines really do not work well with bad fuel particles so it is advisable to change the filter, but your first objective is to find the ASR/BAS fault codes then we can take it from there.
Hi
I finally got the codes read and cleared. Seems I am in a lot of trouble.
Scan ABS/BAS modules for codes. C1000-033 N48(BAS module) solenoid short to ground/short topower, or open in circuit 30. codes wont reset. History code C1207 stop light switch.
I replaced the stop light switch like you suggested and then had the above codes read and cleared.
ANy ideas?
is there a way I can just bypass or eliminate the ABS and stability systems?
THANKS
Joe

On your car the BAS is integrated into the ESP control unit and that is why you have no power, any faults connected to ESP will create limp mode. You cannot bypass these systems as they are integrated with the engine control unit and the transmission control unit.
Hi - I took it to a dealer and had all the codes cleared. The only one still coming up is the BAS/ASR and we found oil in the MAF system I believe there should not be any oil in there. Where could it come from?
appreciate your help!!!
Joe
The oil getting in there is common on these engines, simply clean the throttle valve and that is it. But you have not cleared the real problem and that is the BAS/ASR and until you do this will not fix the car.
I am taking it in three days for in depth search for the problem but where is the throttle valve? Thanks
