No!
The CD14 engine running until phase out end of 2009 was notorious for suffering from EKAS heat reflection wearing the operating linkage creating costly replacements Over the years the plastic operating linkage has been improved considerably being more heat /wear resistant, but the majority of problems created by
Pierborgs' EKAS system are heat related worn linkage even into later Blurrtec CD16 units .
The engine harness is !!!!!!--
Well made in Germany,
and frankly is crap.
Sadly all German cars have crap wiring harnesses, what more can I state ! ,The sockets/pins and continuity tend to suffer over time, and go hard by heat reflection.
This causes poor communication and tiresome CEL faults.
Great for Euro repair shop revenues like mine , but bad for owners beguiled by this stuff made in Germany
Not up to Sumitomo (Toyota /Lexus) standards nor even ISO 9000 Ford harnesses for sure!
Changing out defective harnesses was a monthly chore during the Dodge days (great money spinner) but with 2010 and MB van badged introductions the
top cover was deleted and things improved somewhat.
I think we can take reference to its deletion as a service signal low cost improvement .
I have also listened to tech pundits who point the finger at premature turbo impellor disintegration on these CD 14 engines as a direct link to heat under the cover . Of course later Garret turbo impellors were machined from solid billet improvement being a vast improvement which coincided with cover deletion , So I will leave you to to conclude any relevance on that problem.
