Mercedes C Klasse control unit communication error

I'm getting a control unit communication error in my 2016 Mercedes C Klasse with a gasoline engine, mileage 163195 km. The check engine light is on, the engine overheats, and coolant spills under the car. Could a bad cable or plug be the problem?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my C Klasse. Check the CAN bus wiring to the engine control module. A communication fault can cause all sorts of weirdness.

Can you provide more details on which wiring specifically?

Unfortunately, I can't recall the exact wiring. I took mine straight to the workshop. It was a wiring issue, just like yours. Best get it checked.

Thank you for the advice. The workshop found a wiring issue causing the communication fault. Repair cost 95€.
