so the air needs to be cooled by means of an

               positive pressure is built up
               in the intake system.


                    The second air path engineered into the sys-
                 tem is dependent upon a Recirculating Air Flap
                 assembly. It acts just like an electronic throttle
                 plate except that when it is closed, intake air is
                 forced through the supercharger and pressurized
                 air is sent to the engine's intake system. If too
                 much boost pressure is being made for the throt-
                 tle application (determined by monitoring CPS,
                 TPS and MAP sensor signals), the Recirculating
                 Air Bypass valve is opened to allow air to bypass
                 the blower and continue straight to the intake
                 manifold, or to allow boost pressure to bleed off
                 back through the airbox. This reduces the
                 amount of air passing through the blower and
                 reduces boost pressure. The Recirculating Air
                 Bypass assembly is not just open or closed. The
                 ME control unit can vary the position of the valve
                 to maintain consistent boost pressure. This helps
                 reduce lag when changing from deceleration to
                 acceleration. It also reduces boost if the level
                 becomes dangerous to the engine.
                   On early 111.973 engines, an electromechani-
                 cal clutch was used, much like an A/C compres-
                 sor clutch. This would allow the "kompressor" to
                 be disengaged entirely, therefore not generating
                 any boost or causing any parasitic drag at low
                 rpm. Above 2,200 rpm, the clutch is engaged

and boost is produced. In 2001, Mercedes-Benz
phased out the clutch mechanism, so boost is
managed by the Recirculating Air Flap alone.

Okay, Now How Do I Fix It?

  So what are some of the service issues we're
going to face? Let us start with codes. If you pull
a code P0805 and/or P1235, then you're dealing
with overall supercharger function. Connecting a
pressure gauge to the intake system will tell us if
we are achieving proper supercharger pressure.
Here in the United States, the 92 to 94 octane
gasoline available will not allow any forced air
induction vehicle to produce excessive boost
without fear of detonation, so boost is limited to
just under eight psi. These codes are letting us
know that even though rpm, throttle application
and load show boost conditions, proper boost is
never achieved. This could be caused by a bind-
ing Recirculating Air Flap, but more than likely is
caused by an air leak in the air intake system. A
torn boot or a leak at any plumbing joints will
often lead to these codes, which may be accom-
panied by a driveability problem such as a sud-
den loss of power, or a "bogging."
  Introducing smoke into the intake system may
not indicate the source of the leak since the rub-
ber may only leak when significant pressure is
applied. Keep in mind worn or broken motor
mounts can add stress to air intake plumbing.

  Regardless of all the advancements in climate

  the simple act of opening a window becomes a
  symphony of computer-controlled communication.

 Gone are the days when push-button controls supplied power or
 ground to power window motors. In an effort to add features to these
 well-engineered vehicles, computer controls were enlisted. In any
 system, if a computer is in control of outputs, these outputs can be
 manipulated with a variety of inputs. As far back as 1990, Mercedes-
 Benz introduced the option of a "Comfort System," at the heart of
 which was the Convenience Control Module. This module not only
 controlled power door locks and the sunroof, but also
 communicated with the Anti-Theft Alarm Control Unit. These
 advancements meant more features for the owner, but they also
 meant a greater diagnostic effort to keep these features functioning.
 Let's look at the various systems Mercedes-Benz has used.




                            Today, just opening a window is part of a

Milestones in a Legend
No other carmaker in this galaxy has a longer or more distinguished
heritage than Mercedes-Benz. The following is a look at some
milestones reached in the first 100 years of that history:




1885 - On August 29, Gottlieb Daimler of Cannstadt, Germany, is granted a patent on a motorized
bicycle, the world's first vehicle powered by a four-stroke internal combustion engine.




1886 - On January 29, Karl Benz of Mannheim, Germany patents the three-wheeled Benz Motorwagen
- the world's first viable automobile. Later that year, Daimler builds the first four-wheeled car. With 1.5
hp, it had 50% more power than the Benz, so the horsepower race had begun.

1888 - Steinway & Sons, the New York
piano maker, obtains the rights to all
Daimler patents in the U.S. with the
intention of producing engines and cars
in this country. This is the first example
of a strategy that's now become a trend.

1894 - In France, the first-ever sanc-
tioned automobile race is won by a
Daimler-powered car.

 1895 - Benz & Co. produces the first
internal-combustion-powered bus. In the
first U.S. race (Chicago to Waukegon
and back), a Benz comes in second.

  • 5. Mercedes-Benz uses a "Roots" type supercharger. It performs well at low rpm, but generates quite a bit of heat in the intake air, which makes an intercooler necessary.

Supercharging The solution to this was the addition of forced achieves this by using the engine's own power to air induction in the form of supercharging. In '02, drive a belt that spins an air compressor. This the SLK by AMG received a 3.2L supercharged "kompressor" or "blower" forces higher pressure V6, in '03 the C230 got a 1.8L supercharged air into the engines air intake system. This "boost" engine, and all of the AMG 5.5L engines were can produce significant horsepower gains. "artificially aspirated" as well. There are limits to this phenomenon, however. This was not a simple matter of bolting on a With too much pressure, the mixture may ignite blower and some plumbing. Managing boost and before the intended time. This pre-ignition (also minimizing acceleration lag are engineering chal- known as detonation) can quickly destroy an lenges that the Mercedes-Benz engineers dealt engine. This is why on turbocharged and super- with very well indeed. Here we'll examine the lay- charged engines the compression ratio is out of the supercharging system so that we may reduced. Also, lower octane fuels compound this better understand how to diagnose it when a problem by being easier to ignite. So, there must problem occurs. be some pressure limiting feature built into the supercharging system. A pressure "pop-off" valve can be used, but it is inefficient to waste engine Supercharging 101 horsepower to drive a supercharger only to blow-off excess pressure that is not needed. Without getting too deeply into the theory of supercharging, we do need to understand the basic principles so we can diagnose a symptom by isolating its cause. Essentially, as an engine rotates through its four cycles it generates a vacuum in the cylinder as the piston drops to BDC. The atmosphere provides outside pressure that is approximately 1 bar or 14.7 psi. This pressure flows toward the vacuum in the cylinder through the open intake valve. At this point the intake valve closes (depending The addition of a "kompressor" on the camshaft profile and gave the 2.3L performance "scavenging" designed into the system), befitting a sports car. 06 StarTuned

The larger the duty-cycle (positive slope) the more the flap is commanded closed. When it is fully closed, all of the intake air goes through the blower to produce boost. A Tale of Two Paths the intake manifold on the driver's side. But how does Mercedes-Benz control the boost pressure in the intake system? You have probably noticed Let's start by following the air flow of the supercharged 111 engine (2.3L). Of course, a what looks like an electronic throttle assembly conventional air intake system starts in the air right off of the air-box. This is indeed a similar box, which houses the air filter. However, from assembly, but it has a different task. here we have two different paths the filtered air 110/2 can take. Under acceleration, it is directed down to the back of the supercharger. Mercedes-Benz uses a "Roots" type blower. Interestingly, Gottlieb Daimler installed this type of super- charger on early production industrial engines 19th century, but, of course, engineering advancements have increased its efficiency tremendously. The Roots supercharger is a posi- tive displacement pump that starts to build pres- sure at relatively low rpm (about 2,000). It does heat up the pressurized air it produces, though, so the air needs to be cooled by means of an intercooler, which may be of the air-to-air or air-to-water type. The SLK's air-to-air unit travels along the lower front bumper and resurfaces on the driver's side of the engine, entering the This is the path airflow SIM4LE throttle plate.

StarTuned 07
  • 8. SUPERCHARGER 110/2 Here, the Recirculating Air SIM4LE Flap is open, so any boost N3/1 generated is recycled back ° into the airbox. Therefore, no positive pressure is built up in the intake system. The second air path engineered into the sys- tem is dependent upon a Recirculating Air Flap assembly. It acts just like an electronic throttle plate except that when it is closed, intake air is forced through the supercharger and pressurized air is sent to the engine's intake system. If too much boost pressure is being made for the throt- tle application (determined by monitoring CPS, TPS and MAP sensor signals), the Recirculating Air Bypass valve is opened to allow air to bypass the blower and continue straight to the intake manifold, or to allow boost pressure to bleed off back through the airbox. This reduces the amount of air passing through the blower and reduces boost pressure. The Recirculating Air Bypass assembly is not just open or closed. The ME control unit can vary the position of the valve to maintain consistent boost pressure. This helps reduce lag when changing from deceleration to acceleration. It also reduces boost if the level becomes dangerous to the engine. On early 111.973 engines, an electromechani- cal clutch was used, much like an A/C compres- sor clutch. This would allow the "kompressor" to be disengaged entirely, therefore not generating any boost or causing any parasitic drag at low rpm. Above 2,200 rpm, the clutch is engaged StarTuned
  • 9. This engine was generating too much boost from a Recirculation Air Flap actua- tor that was sticking closed. The engine started missing as injectors were being shut off and timing was being retarded. and boost is produced. In 2001, Mercedes-Benz phased out the clutch mechanism, so boost is managed by the Recirculating Air Flap alone. Okay, Now How Do I Fix It? So what are some of the service issues we're going to face? Let us start with codes. If you pull a code P0805 and/or P1235, then you're dealing with overall supercharger function. Connecting a pressure gauge to the intake system will tell us if we are achieving proper supercharger pressure. Here in the United States, the 92 to 94 octane gasoline available will not allow any forced air induction vehicle to produce excessive boost without fear of detonation, so boost is limited to just under eight psi. These codes are letting us know that even though rpm, throttle application and load show boost conditions, proper boost is never achieved. This could be caused by a bind- ing Recirculating Air Flap, but more than likely is caused by an air leak in the air intake system. A torn boot or a leak at any plumbing joints will often lead to these codes, which may be accom- panied by a driveability problem such as a sud- den loss of power, or a "bogging." Introducing smoke into the intake system may not indicate the source of the leak since the rub- ber may only leak when significant pressure is applied. Keep in mind worn or broken motor mounts can add stress to air intake plumbing. StarTuned 09

With the added complexity of convertible tops and other body control features, however, the simple act of opening a window becomes a symphony of computer-controlled communication. 14 StarTuned
  • 15. werWindows Gone are the days when push-button controls supplied power or ground to power window motors. In an effort to add features to these well-engineered vehicles, computer controls were enlisted. In any system, if a computer is in control of outputs, these outputs can be manipulated with a variety of inputs. As far back as 1990, Mercedes- Benz introduced the option of a "Comfort System," at the heart of which was the Convenience Control Module. This module not only controlled power door locks and the sunroof, but also communicated with the Anti-Theft Alarm Control Unit. These advancements meant more features for the owner, but they also meant a greater diagnostic effort to keep these features functioning. Let's look at the various systems Mercedes-Benz has used. Today, just opening a window is part of a highly-orchestrated electronic process. StarTuned 15
