That's the cold start circuit that needs attention. Sadly I know nothing about it. On older injected cars there's a cold start valve, but you should also check the injection rack for freedom of movement.
Usually the switch. Pry it out, disassemble, clean the black gunk off it then pur it back.
There are vacuum operated flaps and what usually happens is the diaphragm of the actuated that opens and closes the flaps wears out, you probably need a new actuatpr.
No Mercedes needs leaded gas, but they do need 97 RON petrol.
