Welcome to the first issue of Cambiare's NEW Tips and Tricks newsletter! The newsletter aims to provide customers with up-to-date information aimed to assist you and your customers on common vehicle electronics issues. Every month, Cambiare will focus on a new case study put forward by our customers, designed to help YOU become the vehicle electronics expert. This month's feature is a problematic Mercedes C230 Kompressor, read on to find out more..
The Investigation: • As you can see from the stat sheet, the Mercedes is experiencing rough idling and a loss of power • This is a common issue that points towards replacing the air mass sensor or ignition coil • However, on this particular model replacing these parts may not always cure the fault • Circled to the right is the air breather hose, this is prone to splitting but will not be visible unless the air filter housing is removed • If split, the symptoms above will occur as there is an air/fuel ratio imbalance • To rectify the situation the hosing will need to be replaced. As the air pressure passing through the hose is very high, repairs to the hose are unlikely to be a permanent fix
Remember! When investigating any faults, it is important that all aspects of the system are checked! Failure to do so can result in mis-diagnosis and high return rates! Where can I get more technical information? For further information please refer to the Cambiare technical brochure.
