- Mercedes Clk 200 kompressor
Hello to everybody!
I’m contacting for a question about my MERCEDES CLK 200 Kompressor Serie W 208 (345) July 1999 (with ca. 186000 km.)
Since a couple of months I’ve noted a strange behaviour/ of the Compressor side when the engine of my CLK is warm and reaches the 3500 Rpm
When the engine is cold everything runs ok, as the operating temperature of around 80 Degree Celsius is reached (as on the Dashboard) and I accelerate crossing around 3200 – 3500 Rpm the Compressor side doesn’t want anymore to enter in coupling with the motor.
Simply it stays as switched off, it follows “as a passive element“ and the engine and the motor runs as “chocked”.
The Compressor results as not doing its part.
no feeling of its presence (when the engine is warm)
Basically the Motor runs, but with lost of the original gain that you can feel when the Compressor enters
(Usually as soon are crossed the 2000 Rpm. its switch on and you can feel it), but now no enough desired acceleration.
The first possibility is wait till the engine cools down till, and then when is cold it drives as usual, but as soon as are reached the 80 Degrees then comes the issue.
By opening the cover of the engine and with a overlook /inspection,
(always and after that the engine is warm) in the engine area, I noted that the Electromagnet by accelerating, doesn’t want to come in coupling with the other rotating parts.
It follows (simply) the other rotating parts and not “pushing them” to follow him (if I can express in this way).
Only just few slightly rotating attempts but too slight to demonstrate its real power.
Never had in the past something like this.
But (again) when the engine is cold is ok… (!)
In order to understand and try to solve the issue I’ve tried following steps:
- Complete Reset of the Mercedes. - Result no differences.
- Because in the past my CLK was starting to “sneeze” together with my machine workshop man we discovered that the E-wirings going to the Sparks (the ones located below the red aluminium deck placed on the top of the Cylinders head) were in Short circuit and we had them to exchange.
Result no differences.
- Lambda sensor changed - Result no difference.
- The round Bosch Camshaft adjusting position sensor (the one located and attached at the end of the Camshaft as shown in the photo).Checked if there were oil leaking coming from the camshaft and „running“ in(side) the sensor and then along the wirings. After inspection my workshop man said is ok (no problem).
As general information: currently I’m driving with (inside the exhaust pipe) the catalisathor that has the ceramic detached.
(In fact while driving is possible to hear slight “sound” of small/little “rocks” that are rolling inside the chamber of the Exhaust pipe) These are the fragments of the ceramic.
A interesting thing that happened (in the past week after checking the Mass airflow Meter (MAF).
After having briefly inspected the (MAF) I’ve remounted it inside the car and unintentionally forgot to connect its (control) plug. And then I used as usual the car.
The result was as driving the car without the “presence” of the Kompressor (exact the same sensation as mentioned in the beginning of this e-mail)
(means: in Warm condition the engine results as chocked)
So now comes my question…. can this depend from the MAF ?
(But if it so, why not when then the engine is cold?)
Or can be /depends from something else?
Is there someone that can help me ?
That can give helpful advice before to think to change another time the MAF because the problem is something else and then avoid to give out money for a “wrong way”?
Is there maybe the possibility to check ,make a diagnosis of the MAF ?
Thank you a lot in advance for your kind helpful suggestions and hits
Best regards
