P0171 is a vac leak before the throttle body (lean due to maf)

P0171 is a vague lean code.

Do a Google search for "Mercedes Bulletin 2008020002"

It may be your problem, and should be covered by MB.

Changing the MAF is a piece of cake. Have you discovered germanstarparts.com?

No offense to our host - does Pelican also sell MBZ?
