p0715 now cured Hurray the fault codes now cleared in my tranny. After the fluid had mostly run out of box and it put car into limp mode i think it must have burned the conducter plate. This i changed along with filter and a flush and fresh fluid. The fault code would not clear, but after...

SOLVED, well nearly all. Hi folks Just thought i would give a quick update, it's been a while cause i've had other stuff to do [wifes orders]. I've managed to solve all the fault codes in post #4 and kicked my self many times for it. The faults were with both o2 sensors,cam shaft...

Ignore me i'm daft Ignore that, did not see it had a diode in it. When checking the correct flow it works, what a ding bat.

Whats this relay do? Does anyone know what the blue relay does, seems this relay is dead. Will order a new one and see if it clears some of the problems. Hoping it's the air bypass.

I'm in Leeds West Yorkshire .

Air bypass valve, super charger Done a little more digging around under bonnet today to explore the none closing super charger bypass valve. Took it off and opened it up, hoping to find it crudy inside but it was spotless, tracks intact and everything, so i dicided to put voltage across the...

Ordered Mercedes workshop manual today from flea bay. Apparently it does all models from 1986 to 2008. Has WIS, ASRA, EPC on it whatever that means. Hopefully this will help having a wiring diagram to work from. Seems strange that i have all these faults together Oxygen sensors pre and post cat...

More investigating to do then, good articles though. It would be easier if i had a wiring diagram and workshop manual to work from but can't seem to get one. Haynes manuals don't list one for my car. Will keep on plugging away till i sort it. Did clean the vacuum actuator valve out but there is...

Thanks for video, once again very helpful. I've got a problem then, because mine stays open no matter what i do. If it aint one thing it's another. Well at least i'm making progress because the car does'nt stink of fuel now when it's ticking over. Can it be repaired, or is it a new one, they...

Had a look today, changed the split vacuum pipe that went to the solenoid for air bypass into exhaust manifold. Still no vacuum when it's cold starting:dk:. Noticed this butterfly on the supercharger is always fully open, is this normal? it's an always engaged charger with no clutch. What's it...

Hi I changed the voltage regulator on my clk 230 kompressor not long back due to dash telling me the alternator had a fault and to visit workshop. Don't know about your particular car but it's fairly easy, i had to get under car to get to it. Couple of bolts to remove through alternator and...

Yeh that was a big help.Intersesting worth a little time to investigate. Will have a look at the system tomorrow and post back what i find. Thanks a lot Mathew

found this whilst investigating, does any one know what it does. Looks to be a vacuum pipe but where does it go to.

No there not mate, but a little step closer to getting running properly just purge valve and secondary air valve oh and cam shaft knock sensor, i hate electrcial stuff give me engine to rebuild any day Cheers

Ahh thankyou, though that was just the aircon stuff.
