Mercedes-Benz 230 1990: Won't accelerate beyond 70 km/h

Answered by Graham Smith · 11 Jan 2019

It's probably in limp-home mode, which means the car's computer has detected something amiss and will only allow the car to run to get you home or to a mechanic. Have a mechanic do a diagnostic check on it, which should show up the cause of the problem.
