Take it for a scan.....while at it I hope u didn't overfill d engine.
Too much oil is a bigger problem for engines than less oil.

Maybe its a head gasket issue.
Is ur coolant level always dropping?

Do this test tomorrow.
While the engine must have warmed up and running, remove ur dipstick with some oil on it drop the oil on the part of the exhaust u can see from the engine bay.

The oil will burn(smoke): if there is water mixed with the oil it will sizzle.
Goodluck.

Hello boss.... My Benz e320 suddenly start showing check fan and I checked the fan is working perfectly.
Another thing is that when I want to start it a times, it will show battery sign and something alternator written under it.. But the car don't delay in starting ooo. And this two things disappear immediately it start, just on ignition that it shows.

Sorry typo....I mean is ur radiator fan running on full speed whenever you start d car.
The battery light is normal cos the ECU(brainbox) can't differentiate d battery fault from the alternator dats why they appear together.
When you turn your key to position no.2 without starting d car, the ECU assumes that its a failed cranking(starting).
You will now see the battery/alternator warning but will disappear when the car starts.
All systems are activated including the fuel pump at position no.2.....d fuel pump will automatically shut off if d engine didn't start.

Get your car electrician to remove your fan from direct connection... They know what to do.

No need for emails sir....By the grace of God we will solve the problem here and for free so dat others with a similar problem can benefit.

Your fan runs full blast cos the ECU is not getting proper signals from one or two sensors.
The ECU starts n stops the fan, determines d speed it should run e.t.c
The ECU determines how to run the fan from signals it gets from various sensors.
If the ECU is not getting the proper voltage reading from any of d sensor(s) it will assume the engine is overheating or on fire and it will run the fan at maximum speed.

I will continue later, still busy with work.

There are are mainly two sensors that will make the ur fan to run at maximum speed whenever you start d car.

1. Coolant temperature sensor.
2.Air conditioner pressure switch.

If you are getting the proper coolant temperature reading on your instrument cluster then the coolant temperature sensor working ok. But if not you should change it.

The AC pressure switch is one little devil that can give you sleepless nights cos its hard to detect when it fails and it can cause a lot of problems.
It can turn off the AC compressor on its own and make the fan to run on high speed.
When it fails mechanics will be at a loss what is happening to ur car, they will change parts after parts but until it's replaced you will never enjoy ur car.

Goodluck.

I don't think d problem is with the throttle pedal.
I think u should tell ur mechanic to check the throttle actuator, most times the mechanics always make the mistake of fixing the actuator that will "fit" rather than the one made for ur engine.
What u are experiencing is what happens when they do that, it will work for sometime and start to fail intermittently...... Until u will become angry with ur ride.

Your engine is M271, check if the throttle actuator part number matches with ur engine.
The part number should start with 271..........
If all is correct, change d actuator.
Goodluck

Have you done the throttle reset?
Check if the air flow meter you fixed is not for V8 engine.
